The BOM-BITES Come Follow Me Podcast

I love how instructive 4 Nephi is!  And it parallels so closely to our own society.  To quote Marjorie Hinckley “I have two choices. I can choose to be happy or I can choose to be sad. I choose to be happy.” 4 Nephi is a great example of that! 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

3 Nephi 29-30 are yet another great reminder how important covenants, and particularly “the NEW covenant” of the Book of Mormon are to our loving Heavenly Father. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Ah, the disciples affectionately known as the THREE NEPHITES!  What a great story!  Definitely more questions than answers when it comes to these three.  Hopefully we can help with a few of them today! If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

3 Nephi 27 is full of all kinds of goodness...especially to any who are “trying to be like Jesus” and getting frustrated because they keep falling short.  Perhaps this episode can help. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Since this week has been all about covenants...why does God REALLY command us to pay tithes and offerings to him?  Hopefully we can shed some light on that important question from a familiar chapter. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

I love this 3 Nephi 22!  Probably one of the most marked up of all my BOM chapters...and it’s from Isaiah! 😂. So grateful for the Lord’s mercy and goodness to his covenant people! If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

When we talk about covenants, the history of the house of Israel, how God feels about Israel, and a way to gather scattered Israel - you’ll see why these chapters should mean everything to us! 😁 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

What name strikes fear into the hearts of most every faithful Book of Mormon reader?  ISAIAH!  Don’t just skip these chapters with a lame crossword puzzle or word search...start climbing the 3 Nephi 20-26 mountain with us this week and you’ll see some beautiful things this week. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

We invite, testify, and hold up the light of Christ—then we let Jesus handle the healing. Let’s not mix up those roles. If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

How do you actually 'pray always' without feeling overwhelmed? Jesus gave us a simple answer—just start with one prayer at a time and watch what happens. 🙏 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

In a world that is constantly overwhelmed and distracted, what does it really look like to “always” remember the Savior. If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

How does the God of sheep, humans, worlds, and universes without number work with them??? One by one... 🙏🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

When you’ve just watched 10 hours of General Conference over a two day period and you’re a little overwhelmed with all of it...you know who understands?  Jesus.  AND, he knows how to help you process and digest all of it so it actually means something to you. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Jesus is most definitely “The Good Shepherd” and he knows each one of his sheep by name and wants to bring them all the gospel message.  But when you start counting them...that’s A LOT of sheep! 🐑 💤 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

As our feet are pointed in the “Perfection Direction”, Understanding the difference between being judgmental vs. being judicious can be a difficult navigational challenge. But when we “take the long view” on people and situations - it’s really not as hard as we make it out to be. If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

When qwe are perplexed and distressed and our future appears to be uncertain, don’t worry…about a thing 🎶  God knows what our future is like.  And as we put a little faith and trust in him, it is going to be better than we imagined! 😁 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Does God expect us to be perfect?  Yes...eventually, and only through the Atonement and mercy of Jesus Christ.  In our efforts to work on perfection, there is a temptation to put on a perfect show when we are not perfect.  Don’t just do things to look perfect, be real and be authentic. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

How can the command “I would that ye should be perfect...” motivate us rather than frustrate us?  Hopefully these next few days of “The Sermon at the Temple” can help with that. 😀 Here is the link to the Google Doc mentioned in the episode https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hhv_LWxZ_O2m7Wobc50z-E5BFa6BHuwZ/view If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Right out of the gates, Jesus wants his doctrine very clearly understood by the Nephites...and all of us.  And it is pretty simple stuff! If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

The “day of days” has arrived!  HE’S HERE!  What more can I say? 🙏🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

During times of uncertainly and confusion, isn’t it nice to have the imagery of a mother hen gathering and protecting her beloved chicks?  He’s done it before, and He’ll do it again.  We just need to be willing to accept and welcome that protection.  If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Just like one of the more well-known Isaiah prophecies - “For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.” Not to punish them, but to invite them to connect with him through covenants that can save and protect. 😁 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Here it is - “The Great and Terrible” day of the Lord that prophets for hundreds of years have been prophesying about and pleasing with the people to prepare for. “O, that we had repented” may be one of the saddest phrases in scripture.  An important lesson to learn from this sad chapter.

Our theme for this whole week - If you knew that the most important event to ever happen to you were coming in just a few years, could you stay patient and faithful so you could experience it.  A great lesson to learn from the Nephites in the BOM. 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here

Yay!  The Nephites are righteous...for a couple chapters! 😂. There’s actually some great insights on what it means to be a “disciple” of Jesus Christ and why that is so essential to not only survive, but thrive in this world. If you’d like to view the video that goes with this podcast, click here
