Key Questions for the Book of Mormon - Miniseries Introduction

There are some important questions we can ask as we begin our study of the Book of Mormon (and/or repeatedly during our study throughout the year) that can make all the difference in what we are able to draw from it. In this miniseries we'll ask those questions, seek for some answers, and share some ideas that could empower a study of this sacred text.

Why should I trust imperfect Church leaders?

Why should I trust imperfect Church leaders? This question, in one form or another, comes up frequently among latter-day saints or their friends because following living apostles, prophets, and other leaders is so central to our theology and practice. Well, it's a great question to kick off your study off the Acts of the Apostles and this episode should give you a jumpstart.

What do I do if I don’t ”feel” anything?

What did Peter do with himself after his denial? What did the women at the tomb do with the worry or the fear they felt? What did Cleopas do with his sadness? What did Thomas do with his doubts? What did Jesus do with his feeling of being forsaken? Studying the end of the Savior's mortal ministry provides ample evidence of how difficult continuing faith was for those closest to the Savior, and, therefore, how difficult it can be for us. This month we ask the question, "What do I do when I don't feel anything?" Study along with us as we wrestle with all those emotions and see what we can learn from those who have gone before.

How does identity influence judgment?

"What must I do to inherit eternal life?" This question (and others like it) was asked of the Savior by His disciples, others of His followers, and by detractors. The truth--that God's eternal identity, our eternal identity, and our willing we are to convert to eternal principles--is at the crux of the Savior's answers and parables. This month gives us a great chance to study this question and consider our own understanding of eternal life.
