Another Testament of Jesus Christ Podcast

Aloha Friends we will read 1 Nephi chapter 11. We will again discuss the idea that our Heavenly Father uses Mountains as Temples. We will see the vision of the tree of Life from Nephi's perspective and learn quite a bit about they symbolism behind each part of the dream. Then afterwards stick around because I have Brother and Sister Martins from Brazil Here to talk a little deeper about chapter 11 with us. His Father was the first Black man to receive the Priesthood in the church, and he was one of the first three Black Missionaries to serve in the church. He helped to Translate the Book of Mormon in Portuguese and he has a wealth of knowledge that we will try and tap into.

Today we will be reading 1 Nephi Chapter 10. We will discuss the symbolism, and significance of the Olive tree, we will Imagine entering a beautiful White Room. We will talk about the power a name can have, and we will see how Diligent Nephi is as he seeks his own testimony of TRUTH. Stick around because after the chapter discussion we will be interviewing Carmen Hetaraka. He will discuss Maori culture, language, traditions, and the connections they have to the gospel of Jesus Christ. We will end with a Maori chant by my children.

In this chapter we will focus on OBEDIENCE. President Ezra Taft Benson said..."Obedience is the First Law of Heaven". When we are Obedient to the Laws and Commandments the Lord we will have the companionship of the Holy Ghost, and protection from the temptations and sins of the world.

In this chapter we will read one of my favorite stories in the Book of Mormon. Lehi will tell us about a dream he has had and we will explore the idea of The Tree of Life. We will taste Joy, and experience Heartbreak all in the same chapter. I will share some hiking stories, and we will be reminded of how Important our Agency here on earth is.

Today we will see an extraordinary example of the power the Spirit has to convey the perfect message. We will witness a miracle performed by God, as an answer to Nephi's prayer, and we will also discuss the weight of a Woman's opinion. Sometimes a softer, more delicate approach is exactly what we need. I can't wait to see what the next step for Lehi and his family will be in this journey…lets begin.

Today we will confirm exactly who this Lehi guy is. We will find out what the purpose of these collected stories are, and we will think about who we enjoy learning from. Its a pretty short chapter and straight to the point. Let's begin!

Have you ever doubted the Lord and his plan for you, and then, something happens in your life to completely prove you wrong. You are of course reminded that the Lord knows BEST, and will ALWAYS lead you in the right direction. That is exactly the same type of situation we read about with Sariah The Prophet Lehi's Wife today in chapter 5. We will read about Nephi and his brothers joyful return to their family in the wilderness, we will see what possession Lehi values above all else… and we will hear a humble recommitment from Sariah as her Faith is strengthened. I hope your heart is open to the promptings you will receive from the spirit as we read this Special Chapter of the Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ.

What if the Lord asked you to do something that went against what you had been taught , and the Fate of all your posterity was determined by your ability to just simply have Faith and Obey? That is exactly what happens to Nephi in chapter 4 today. We are going to see how Nephi's Faith is strengthened as he bravely follows the Lords Command. We will find out how he get's the plates and we will meet a new Character named Zoram. Make sure you stay tuned for the end because we will hear from Terry Goedel, who just happens to be my Father, and get his take on this exciting chapter. Lets get started!

Welcome back to Another Testament of Jesus Christ Podcast. Today we will read about how Nephi takes charge of an Intimidating Situation, and we will truly feel the Lords Power behind Nephi's Success. Make sure you stay tuned all the way to the End we will talk about how sometimes the Lord asks us to do Hard Things, and we will listen to one of my favorite songs, Go My Son written by Arliene Nofchissey and Carnes Burson.

What a great start to The Book of Mormon, Another Testament of Jesus Christ. Today we will think about the possibility that the Lord puts us in situations similar to Lehi's to make it easier to choose a different direction in life. Maybe our trials are helping us in more ways than we realize. We will discover how Faith may just simply be Pure Obedience. We will see how true servants of the Lord Cry unto him when they are seeking Truth, and Guidance. I can't wait to get started....lets begin!
