March 16, 2020 Jacob 5-7 - "I could not be shaken"
In a world where things are being hourly, minutely shaken up around us we need something to strengthen and solidify us. In Jacob's writings he mentions often his own and his desire to help others receive unshakeable faith. In chapter 5 he quotes Zenos' allegory of the olive tree that, if likened to us, is a story of how God helps the trees of his vineyard grow, become strong (and unshakeable), and bear fruit of hope and peace. In chapter 7 Jacob's faith is tested by Sherem and, yet, remains unshakeable. So study with us this week as we learn how to solidify our faith in the face of uncertainty.

March 09, 2020 Jacob 1-4 - "anxiety for the welfare of your souls"
The German word "weltschmerz" describes a feeling of sadness at the sins of the world. Jacob described this same feeling when he said he felt great "anxiety" for the welfare of his people's souls. What, exactly, caused this pain for Jacob and what causes it for us? Study with us this week as we tackle some of the big sins Jacob sees in his world that seem all-too-real for modern readers.

March 02, 2020 2 Nephi 31-33 - "feast upon the words of Christ"
One of the most famous phrases from the scriptures about the scriptures comes from Nephi's challenge for his readers to "feast upon the words of Christ." However, understanding what that actually means and how to do it can be tricky at best and daunting at worst. In this episode we give three tried-and-tested principles for better feasting in your personal scripture study and, thus, allowing God to better "tell you all things what you should do."

February 24, 2020 2 Nephi 26-30 - "the words of a book"
Have you ever wondered why, of all He could have done, God chose to use "the words of a book" to accomplish so much of His "marvelous work" in the last days? Why the Book of Mormon? Why now? As we study this week we answer these global questions and, much more importantly, the personal questions of just what this long-prophesied book can do for you. Want a Book of Mormon study pick-me-up, than this episode may be for you!

February 17, 2020 2 Nephi 11-25 - "persuade...to believe in Christ"
Have you ever struggled reading the Isaiah chapters? Nephi says that he "delights" in Isaiah's words because they persuade people to come closer to Christ. In this episode, we reverse the traditional feelings about Isaiah and begin to scratch the surface of what these incredible chapters can do for you!

February 10, 2020 2 Nephi 6-10 - "the Mighty God shall deliver his people"
To a Nephite crown who has just been forced out of their homes (again), Nephi's brother Jacob preaches the "great plan of our God" and the details the Lord's rescue of His people. If you are feeling homeless or lost, alone, or just in need of rescue then study with us this week as we uncover what our God does to find and save us!

February 03, 2020 2 Nephi 1-5 - "encircled about eternally"
This week we study Lehi's blessings to his sons with special guest Art Olivas of the wonderful EstudioEn15 podcast. As we examine what truths Nephi draws upon to strengthen him in dark times we look at truths that can do the same for us. What can we learn about or from the Lord that helps us when we may feel "encompassed about" with trials and temptations (2 Nephi 4:18) but want to feel "encircled about" with the Lord's love and righteousness (2 Nephi 1:15; 4:33).

January 27, 2020 1 Nephi 16-22 - "leadeth me by the way"
We know, based on the last few weeks of study in the Book of Mormon, that the Lord promises blessings for obedience to His commandments. This week we study just how the Lord leads us to those promised blessings. And, as with all other studies in the scriptures, the more we can recognize His actions in others' lives the more we see His hand in our own.

January 20, 2020 1 Nephi 11-15 - "it is the love of God"
As Nephi, fresh from hearing his father's vision and revelation, seeks his own witness he is shown God's love both in the manifestation of Jesus Christ as in His extension of power and protection across generations of history. Study with us this week as we focus on that love and see for ourselves how God has been loving to us in our own personal lives and histories.

January 13, 2020 1 Nephi 8-10 - "rely on this Redeemer"
It's often tempting, as you watch others fade from faith or abandon their discipleship, to ask, "Why do I believe? Why do I stay?" In this episode, we welcome guests Zach and Katie Cowan of Study Daily as we study together the iconic vision of the Tree of Life in search of what we learn about the Lord that, like those in the vision, makes us want to come to the Lord and stay with Him.
