Listen to Episode 37 (September 16-22) "God Loveth A Cheerful Giver" here.




Y'all...this week I kind of go off on a rant about Grace and how important it is to understand the Grace of Jesus Christ. Also what American Ninja Warrior training taught me about Grace. We also talk about what Paul looked like and how important it is to teach our kids how to give.

This week we talk about the law of opposition, Adam and Eve in the Garden, Nephi's a poet, and the curse of the Lamanites. The Come Follow Me print manual is different from the online version of the manual for the section 2 Nephi 5:20-21 "What was the curse that came upon the Lamanites". I recommend that you read the online version as the most up to date commentary on this section.

Listen to Episode 5, Part B here. I loved Episode 5 SO MUCH, but I just couldn't go on without talking about John the Baptist, Jesus' Baptism, the Pharisees, and Vipers.  So here it is- a rushed rundown of Christ's baptism and an outtake from the original Episode 5 wherein I describe the various sects of Ancient Israel and fun with snakes. (Photo "Joy" from Reflections of Christ https://reflectionsofchrist.myshopify.com/ ) John the Baptist, Bible Dictionary: Son of Zacharias and Elisabeth, being of priestly descent through both parents. This lineage was essential, since John was the embodiment of the law of Moses, designed to prepare the way for the Messiah and make ready a people to receive Him.
