The Savior Said: A Come Follow Me Podcast

 This week we get to talk about one of my FAVORITE stories of the Book of Mormon- Moroni's "weakness in writing". I love what it teaches us about approaching the Lord with humility in our weakness and how He can make weak things become strong. I talk about the importance of faith and hope, and what I learned about hope and my family this week.  Listen at: Podbean:  https://thesaviorsaid.podbean.com/ Spotify:  http://ow.ly/Zpg650uuNjg iTunes:  http://ow.ly/RGeQ50uuNjb Stitcher:  http://ow.ly/H4Lu50uuNja

Do you hear that? It's the sound of waves crashing, wind blowing....and mixtapes playing! That's right, it's a mixtape episode! Since we're traveling with the Jaredites to the promised land, I thought it was appropriate that we listen to some inspirational tunes about water.  Songs featured in this mixtape: Into The Sea (It's Gonna Be Ok) by Tasha Layton Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) Lyric Video by Hillsong UNITED Wade in the Water by The Petersens Master the Tempest Is Raging by Ruben Alves Walking on Water by NEEDTOBREATHE Listen at: Podbean:  https://thesaviorsaid.podbean.com/ Spotify:  http://ow.ly/Zpg650uuNjg iTunes:  http://ow.ly/RGeQ50uuNjb Stitcher:  http://ow.ly/H4Lu50uuNja

We've made it to the book of Ether! Why do we not call the Brother of Jared by his actual name? How does the Lord show compassion towards us (like He did to the Brother of Jared)? How did the Brother of Jared make the stones? Why did the Lord say "never before have I shown myself"? All this and more on this week's episode.

This week I really wondered about Mormon and Moroni's mental health. I mean, I've been wondering about it for awhile, but this week I really started looking at the way trauma impacted Moroni's writing style. We talk about why Moroni is one of my favorite scriptural writers, why bad things happen to good people, and why gold plates aren't a weird writing material in the ancient world.

As I've read the assigned reading this week, I keep thinking "Poor Mormon!" What did he see? What did his son see? The wickedness of the people he lived among had to be mindboggling. Yet through it all he loved them and loved the Lord. In this episode I try to find ways we can do that in our own lives.

What's in a name? Apparently a lot! Then we explore the church culture X-files around the three disciples!  And can you believe the people of Christ were happy for a record breaking ~200 years? What happened to break that streak? All that and more in this week's episode.

Why did Jesus give the crowd the sacrament for a second time? Why did He mix Isaiah and Micah? How can we feel like we belong? *Please note: I made a major "oopsy!" I kept saying He was mixing MALACHI and Isaiah. I should have said MICAH and Isaiah!
