The Scripture Study Project
Welcome to The Scripture Study Project, we are your hosts Krista and Zach Horton, and this is our podcast where we study scripture with you along with ”Come Follow Me”. Our goal each week is to help you discover new or renewed excitement for God and His word, invest your heart and personal life into your study, and connect with others as you teach and learn together.

We know the beginning of the story of Jesus, but everything from his parentage to his annunciation was unexpected to both those in his day and early readers of the gospels. What happens when God unexpectedly calls on unexpected people to do unexpected things? What happens when he calls you? Study with us in this episode to start finding out!

Season 2 of the Scripture Study Project is underway with this study of what exactly happens when we respond to Jesus' invitation to "Come, follow me."

Life is filled with choices. Period. We must constantly choose between, not just good an evil, but often between good and good! Moroni, knowing this about our day, inserts in chapter 7 a sermon from his father all about judging between choices and learning how to "lay hold of every good thing." Study with us this week and learn for yourself!

In a world that's as bleak and depressing as has ever been recorded in scripture Moroni must, and does, stand strong and hold to his faith. When we're called upon to do something difficult, maybe in the face of opposition and hopelessness, can we stand with Moroni and proclaim, "I will not deny the Christ"? In this episode we study how to do just that!

The story of the Jaredites is one of mostly misery and destruction; however, against that black, satin cloth is set one of the most amazing diamonds in the Book of Mormon: Moroni's discourse on faith and hope in chapter 12. This week with special guest Garret Shields we study the diamond and learn how to anchor our souls when on life's turbulent seas.

Remember the Bible story about the Tower of Babel and the confusing of the languages? In this episode we study the story of the brother of Jared to better understand what confounds and, more importantly, what unconfounds our communication with God. If you want to know how to talk to and hear from God better, listen in and study along!
