As Mormon describes the sad world that he lives in and the decay of his people he knows both that the record he keeps will not his people. However, he does know that the record can and will save future people--including us! The Nephites fall, but from their tragic fall, Mormon hopes that we will rise. Study with us this week as we search for lessons learned from a fallen people that can raise our own modern lives and world.

How would you respond if you were there in 3 Nephi and Jesus asked you, as one of his disciples, "What is that ye desire of me, after that I am gone to the Father?" If the resurrected Christ gave you permission to ask Him for something, what would it be? In this episode we share our own desires and invite you to consider yours as you study along.

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!

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?

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!
