One Minute Scripture Study: A Come Follow Me Podcast

I heard this advice a long time ago, and it’s since been a favorite of mine– to pray before I read the scriptures each time! But I slowly discovered that something else was missing, too.    Get our 365-day Old Testament daily devotional book: https://amzn.to/3nYC821 And grab Cali’s scripture study guide here: https://comefollowmestudy.com/shop/ Discount code: OMSS Music courtesy of bensound.com Ho...

As I’ve studied the life of Abraham I’ve discovered something about him: he’s pretty darn cool. One example is when he was travelling in the wilderness with his nephew Lot.  Both of the men were pretty wealthy: they had large flocks of animals and lots of servants.  So when these two men tried to settle down next to each other, it just didn’t work.  The land couldn’t possibly support all of those...

Sometime after the Tower of Babel debacle, a baby boy was born in the land of Ur.  Unlike all the other babies born in Ur at this time, this one would change the world.  This baby boy was the future prophet, Abraham. Abraham grew up in a home that left much to be desired; in fact his dad tried to sacrifice him to pagan gods– yikes!  Abraham made the wise choice to move away from home.  Abraham des...

One spring day, I was on a hike in the beautiful Colorado mountains with some friends.  As often happens in the spring there, a rainstorm suddenly started booming thunder and cracks of lightning that seemed to be striking really, really close by.   Honestly, it was scary.  One of the teenagers in our group was very obviously upset– standing by himself in the middle of what I realized was a panic a...

I often cringe when I think about some of the things I did as a teenager just to be “funny”, that were not totally aligned with my values at the time. What can Noah teach us about this? When I look back on my high school years, I cringe a bit when I reflect on some of the things that I did. I had a super strong testimony and was active in church. But I also realize that maybe I shouldn't have part...

Have you ever felt sorry for the people who lived during Noah’s time?  Have you ever wondered if they might have repented if Noah had preached just one more time? I have! But Genesis 6:3 gives us a timeline of just how long Noah’s peers were given to repent before the flood came.  It says, “And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man. . . yet his days shall be an hundred and twen...

Have you ever had the best of intentions to serve someone, and then everything got in your way and it couldn’t happen? Let me tell you what I’ve learned from Noah’s time.  The people around at Noah's time were not good. And it wasn't just because of their actions. We learn that "every imagination of the thoughts of his heart was only evil continually." So they did bad things, but they also had evi...

Methuselah had it all!  His father, Enoch, was a prophet.  He got to live with his dad in the amazing city of Enoch where everyone was “of one heart and one mind.”  It must have felt like the best day ever on repeat!   So imagine how Methuselah must have felt when he found out that the entire City of Enoch was going to be translated (hooray, how cool would that be?!)  . . . except, as Moses 8:2 sa...
