3 Nephi 20-26 - "my people, O house of Israel"

What exactly does it mean to be "covenant Israel"? And what does it mean to really "let God prevail" in our own lives? These and other questions captivated us this week as we studied the Savior's teachings to the Nephites and we hope will captivate you as well!

3 Nephi 17-19 - "tarry a little longer"

With the constant canceling or postponing of plans, activities, and events, we may find ourselves more frequently with extra time on our hands and wonder what we should do. In this episode we study what Jesus does with the extra time He takes with the Nephites when obliged their secret request that He "tarry a little longer with them." Want to know what to do with a bit of extra time and space in your life? Listen in this week and find out!

3 Nephi 12-16 - "all things had become new"

Jesus' arrival among the Nephites, much like His ministry in Judea, signified the introduction of "new things" in addition to or replacement of "old things". He taught them new laws, gave them new commandments, and commanded them to live as new creatures. In this episode we study just what "new things" we could learn and learn to live from Jesus' teachings that could help us take advantage of this time to, ourselves, become something new!

3 Nephi 8-11 - "they heard a voice"

As the Book of Mormon peoples experienced the signs of the Savior's death, including days of darkness, they heard, amidst all the commotion, a voice inviting them to repent and return to the Lord. As they opened their ears and looked towards the voice they understood the voice and met Jesus Christ Himself. With all of the commotion going on in our world today it might be more important (and maybe more difficult) to hear Him than ever before. But if we did, what would we hear? What would we see?

3 Nephi 1-7 - "Lift up your head and be of good cheer"

In a block of chapters that seem filled to the brim with destruction, decay, and difficulties it can be easy to focus on the negative. However, the Lord Himself commands, "Lift up your head and be of good cheer." 
In a block of history (today) that seems filled to the brim with destruction, decay, and difficulties it can be easy to focus on the negative. However, the message given to those Nephites long ago still rings true for us: "Life up your heads and be of good cheer!" 
Study with us this episode to find those truths that can help us do just that!

Helaman 7-12 - "remember him"

The pride cycle is well known and oft-discussed but what we never talk about is how to stop it. Like a bike tire rolling there seems to be something almost inevitable about pride. Well, study with us this week as we stop the pride cycle by giving it a flat tire and disrupting pride in our own lives.
