Welcome back to Come, Follow Me Today!

We're starting a new year of study in the Old Testament, loosely following the study curriculum of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Each week there will be a new episode, published on Monday mornings.

In today's episode, we'll be discussing the purpose of the Old Testament, and how it can lead us to more deeply accept our Savior Jesus Christ's invitation to Come, Follow Me.

Welcome back to a new season of the Come, Follow Me Today podcast. Hopefully your podcast app didn’t inactivate this show due to inactivity!

We’re going to try out a new season this year focused on the Old Testament, as we loosely follow the study curriculum of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I’ll be releasing some new episodes, mingled with old episodes from 4 years ago when we last studied the Old Testament together.

In today’s episode, we’ll talk about the importance of the Old Testament, and scripture study in general, as a means of helping connect us to eternal life.
