The BOM-BITES Come Follow Me Podcast

What a great week we’ve had sharing the various aspects on faith found in Ether 12.  Verse 27 is a “go-to” verse for a lot of people, and it’s largely helped me become who I am today! 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

To quote the great character Andy DuFresne - “Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things.  And good things never die”.  Please keep that in mind as we address today’s question! 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Here it is - smack dab in the midst of a huge mess of bad kings and struggling people, Moroni gives one of the best masterclasses on faith - Ether 12.  In fact, the word “faith” is mentioned 39 times just in this chapter.  Sounds like a good place to spend this week.  f you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

In the midst of all the “Good King/Bad King” shenanigans of Ether 6-11, there a simple little principle that I love and have a strong testimony of. 😊 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Alright friends - today’s episode is a little study of Jaredite “Good King, Bad King”...and the lessons we can learn from them. 🤴 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

It seems to be a huge turning point for most societies.  We see it in the Old Testament, with the Nephites, and here with the Jaredites.  The brother of Jared’s words echo clearly...especially to our day. If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Been looking forward to this one.  One of my favorite sections of the B.O.M.  So relevant and timely, and so applicable for the crazy voyage we are each on.  The trick is to thank the Lord for letting us have the ride. 🙏🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

When King Limhi first saw these plates, his response was “Doubtless a great mystery is contained within these plates,”. Boy, was he right!  This week’s CFM lessons contain some pretty cool knowledge to help us all solve some of life’s great mysteries. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

I love the faith of the brother of Jared!  There are some fantastic phrases and principles in Ether 3 that could really help us all see more of God in our lives. 👈🏻👇🏻🙌🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Ah, barge building!  So many wonderful life lessons.  God is so anxious to help us...and also for us to learn how to properly utilize him in our own “barge building” efforts! 😇 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

When we only pray in crises, we start to see God as a “repairman” rather than our daily guide and companion. If we think of God day and night, not just when we’re desperate, we build a deeper, ongoing relationship with Him. 🙏🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Prayer can literally change the night to day and our consistency in prayer can and should be a great strength in our lives.  Enjoy! 🙏🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

There is something so familiar about the Book of Ether.  It’s like I’ve already been reading it all year. 😀. Hope you enjoy today’s brief episode as we start a pretty amazing book. If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

When we are always looking to condemn or cancel people - past or present, it becomes nearly impossible for us to notice “a God of miracles” in our lives.  Rather, let’s love, be patient, be forgiving, and gratefully learn from others.  That’s when the miracles will start rolling in! 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

The Book of Mormon is for our day!  It wasn’t written for them, there, and then.  It is most definitely for me, here, and now! 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

I love the Bible!  Both Old and New Testaments!  So many great stories of faith and courage, so many heroes, so many wonderful scripture verses.  One of the main reasons that I love it is found in Mormon 7! 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Here is a chance to share with us a part of the B.O.M. that has been “of great worth” to you so far this year.  Please comment and share - we’d love to hear! 😁 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Mormon loved his people...and his enemies - no doubt about that!  Because of that, he felt a great yearning to share with them that which to him was of “great worth”...😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Ok, truth be told - after chapter 1, Mormon 2-5 is a pretty sad and depressing tale of a very wicked and disobedient people.  That said, Mormon loved them and there are some lessons for us to learn from it. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

In the midst of a super sad and tragic chapter, there are a couple of nice things to point out.  Makes me love and respect Mormon even more. 😇 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

I love how prophets often compare their experience with spiritual things with food.  Words like “feasting”, “hungering and thirsting”, and “tasting” help me understand what it was probably like for them...and I want to do the same and like him, share it with those I love. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Two of the greatest compliments a person (let alone a 10 year-old!) could ever receive - and what a blessing those qualities of Mormon have been to us! If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

I LOVE MORMON!  This guy!  I have grown to love him more than I ever have this time reading the B.O.M.  Yes, I am proudly a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but what an honor it would be if someone described me as “Mormon”. 😇 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Can you imagine the daunting task of trying to describe how to be successful as a nation in a few short paragraphs?  Much respect to Mormon and his editing skills.  Hopefully this brief intro to 4th Nephi will prepare you to have a great experience in this very instructive book. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here
