There are some important questions we can ask as we begin our study of the Book of Mormon (and/or repeatedly during our study throughout the year) that can make all the difference in what we are able to draw from it. In this miniseries we'll ask those questions, seek for some answers, and share some ideas that could empower a study of this sacred text.

Why should I trust imperfect Church leaders? This question, in one form or another, comes up frequently among latter-day saints or their friends because following living apostles, prophets, and other leaders is so central to our theology and practice. Well, it's a great question to kick off your study off the Acts of the Apostles and this episode should give you a jumpstart.

What did Peter do with himself after his denial? What did the women at the tomb do with the worry or the fear they felt? What did Cleopas do with his sadness? What did Thomas do with his doubts? What did Jesus do with his feeling of being forsaken? Studying the end of the Savior's mortal ministry provides ample evidence of how difficult continuing faith was for those closest to the Savior, and, therefore, how difficult it can be for us. This month we ask the question, "What do I do when I don't feel anything?" Study along with us as we wrestle with all those emotions and see what we can learn from those who have gone before.

"What must I do to inherit eternal life?" This question (and others like it) was asked of the Savior by His disciples, others of His followers, and by detractors. The truth--that God's eternal identity, our eternal identity, and our willing we are to convert to eternal principles--is at the crux of the Savior's answers and parables. This month gives us a great chance to study this question and consider our own understanding of eternal life.

Mirriam-Webster's dictionary defines the word Christian as "one who professes belief in the teachings of Jesus Christ." Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints certainly profess belief in Christ, and yet many, especially some vocal in the wider Christian world, refuse to grant them/us the title "Christian". In this episode we explore both the why nots and, more importantly, begin a study of the whys behind our Christianity.

We use the phrase "I know" in many settings and situations in our description of our faith. In this episode we ask if saying "I know" is a requirement and what might come before and after that statement that could help us have a more expanded relationship with truth and come to better "know" the Savior Himself.

We are back with a new season of The Scripture Study Project with an all new approach. This season we are asking questions--sometimes hard, often personal, always important--that have everything to do with our relationship with God and then studying scriptures in search of truth and understanding. This episode we start with our first question of the season drawn from Jesus' own word: do I really have to be "perfect"? The answer, and a study of that answer, takes us from the sermon on the mount to the calling of apostles to our own personal wrestles with perfection.
