Awww, this is our last scripture reading assignment together! 😢 Waterworks ahead! This week we talk about Moroni's promise, how we can feel the Spirit answer the question "Is the Book of Mormon true?", and the work that Christ has for us to do.
Also I begin saying goodbye to all of my amazing listeners! We have one episode left, the Christmas episode.

This week we talk about how to judge righteously, the light of Christ and I interview a very brave lady: my friend Brianne! She tells us some things she's pondered as she read Moroni 8 and about the miracles she's witnessed in her son's life.

Sunday Nov 15, 2020
Sunday Nov 15, 2020
This week Moroni teaches us about various priesthood ordinances. I talk about Gratitude, and how I've been thinking about the Greatness and Goodness of God (specifically the talk, "The Greatness and Goodness of God by Dale G. Renlund from the April 2020 General Conference) and how that popped up in the reading assignment this week.
Also, I announce the upcoming retirement (or hiatus???) of The Savior Said.

S2 E45 (Nov. 23-29) “By Faith All Things Are Fulfilled”
Sunday Nov 08, 2020
Sunday Nov 08, 2020
This week we get to talk about one of my FAVORITE stories of the Book of Mormon- Moroni's "weakness in writing". I love what it teaches us about approaching the Lord with humility in our weakness and how He can make weak things become strong. I talk about the importance of faith and hope, and what I learned about hope and my family this week.

Do you hear that? It's the sound of waves crashing, wind blowing....and mixtapes playing! That's right, it's a mixtape episode! Since we're traveling with the Jaredites to the promised land, I thought it was appropriate that we listen to some inspirational tunes about water.

Into The Sea (It's Gonna Be Ok) by Tasha Layton
Oceans (Where Feet May Fail) Lyric Video by Hillsong UNITED
Wade in the Water by The Petersens
Master the Tempest Is Raging by Ruben Alves

Sunday Oct 25, 2020
Sunday Oct 25, 2020
We've made it to the book of Ether! Why do we not call the Brother of Jared by his actual name? How does the Lord show compassion towards us (like He did to the Brother of Jared)? How did the Brother of Jared make the stones? Why did the Lord say "never before have I shown myself"? All this and more on this week's episode.

S2 E42 (Nov. 2-8) “I Speak unto You As If Ye Were Present”
Sunday Oct 18, 2020
Sunday Oct 18, 2020
This week I really wondered about Mormon and Moroni's mental health. I mean, I've been wondering about it for awhile, but this week I really started looking at the way trauma impacted Moroni's writing style. We talk about why Moroni is one of my favorite scriptural writers, why bad things happen to good people, and why gold plates aren't a weird writing material in the ancient world. This episode is kind of research paper-y so if you want to see the quotes etc for yourself, you can find them in my blog at http://thesaviorsaid.blogspot.com/2020/10/s2-e42-nov-2-8-i-speak-unto-you-as-if.html

S2 E41 “I Would That I Could Persuade All to Repent”
Sunday Oct 11, 2020
Sunday Oct 11, 2020
As I've read the assigned reading this week, I keep thinking "Poor Mormon!" What did he see? What did his son see? The wickedness of the people he lived among had to be mindboggling. Yet through it all he loved them and loved the Lord. In this episode I try to find ways we can do that in our own lives.
