The BOM-BITES Come Follow Me Podcast

How do you drain the stagnant swamp of social media?  You send out a “loud proclamation” and flood the internet with messages of hope and goodness to get those waters moving again! 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

The Lord has the amazing ability to take weak things and build them up to be strong - whether it is a malaria filled swamp or a young inexperienced missionary. 💪🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

What worries and concerns do you think the Saints had in 1839-1840?  How do we “cheerfully” get them out of Missouri and into a place of “rest”? 😌 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

D&C 121:34-46 are probably my most marked sections in the D&C.  Only 12 verses but man, are they packed!  LET me share them with you… 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

D&C 121-122 are so inspiring!  The language in D&C 123 is different from any other section of scripture you will read in the D&C, but it can be as inspiring - particularly when you apply them to our situations today. If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

We may not always know why bad things happen to us, but the Lord always provides “compensatory” help to us - in the form of D&C 121-122. Use the link below for a great activity for yourself and your family to apply selected verses from D&C 121-122. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-5Wz9pxM6_WRNvT4qr6l1pSfNR7pXtR1ecm0U0Mqurk/edit?tab=t.0 If you’d like to view the video that goes with pod...

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland gave a masterful talk called  “Lessons from Liberty Jail” in 2008.  I love his application to all of us and it is a great preparation for your study of D&C 121-122. 😇 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

The Liberty Jail sections (D&C 121-123) are sacred territory in my opinion.  So much goodness and instruction.  It’s also important to understand what got these men here in the extremely tough year of 1838 in an obscure Missouri town.

The principle of tithing is such a cool principle.  Just another way the Lord is looking for opportunities to bless us. 🙏🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

What do you do when you’ve been given a commandment and it seems nearly impossible, and even dangerous to fulfill it?  You read D&C 118 and watch today’s BOM-BITES episode! 😀 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

Leaving Kirtland due to persecution would have been so hard to do, particularly if you had a thriving business.  The Lord puts all of that into perspective for 3 good men in that situation.   If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

Even though D&C 116 has only ONE verse, Adam-ondi-Ahman is a holy place or worship and the blessings that will come from it will be numerous! 😇 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

January 16, 2018, NBC News wrote - “Noted heart surgeon Russell Nelson unlikely to transform Mormon church as new president.”  Haha, nice work guys! 😂  How blessed we were to have a prophet who was unafraid to “arise and shine forth” and be a light to the nations.

This week has been an interesting character study on some of the original 12 apostles in this dispensation and how the Lord loved and worked with them.  And the story of David W. Patten is a pretty cool one! If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

If soft hearts and “unstiff” necks can bring conversion (D&C 112:13), then hard hearts and stiff necks can bring apostasy.  Sadly, some of these early members of the church fell right into that pattern.  A good lesson for us today!

In 1836, it was a great time to be a Saint.  The temple had just been built, and things were going really well…which may have been one of the big problems for them. If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

Can the Lord take our stupid mistakes and turn them around to actually bless our lives?  A HUGE message from a short section. If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

There is a beautiful, recent example that shows that regardless of who has been the owner, the Kirtland Temple is still a reverent, holy, and sacred place. 🙏🏻 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

You can learn a lot from a dedicatory prayer.  They are given so THAT we can see the purposes of God in why we build these sacred buildings. If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

If you’ve ever been to a temple dedication, then you know that a unique and special spirit accompanies that experience.  The first one in this dispensation was certainly sacred on so many levels from so many that day in 1836. 😇 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

I don’t think we appreciate how much time, love, and labor that those early Saints put into the building of the Kirtland Temple.  We’re going to spend a few days just giving some time and attention to some experiences that surrounded the dedication of this glorious house of God.

If you knew that someone only had 4 years left to live…but you couldn’t tell them, what would you teach them so that they would get the most out of their remaining years? If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

When it comes to the priesthood, it is one thing  to simply learn your duty but it is another thing to act in diligence while you are doing it. If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

There’s a new quorum in town…well, not really NEW, but new to this dispensation in 1834 and they are called do some pretty amazing things…and they still do! If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !

How do you become such an amazing priesthood holder that they decide to name the priesthood after you? 😇 If you’d like to view the video that goes with podcast, click here !
