The Savior Said: A Come Follow Me Podcast

What do Lady Gaga, Alexander Hamilton, and King Mosiah all have in common? They are all quoted on this episode of The Savior Said! This week we talk about the political philosophies of King Mosiah, how we can make our communities better by being kind, sneaky Nehor and his incorrect doctrine, and how cool I think it is that we have a lay ministry.

In case you haven't heard by now, I skipped this week's episode because I was struggling amidst some negative feedback I'd received recently. And a big THANK YOU to all those who rallied around me. I love you!

But I couldn't just skip this week's assignment because one verse from this week wouldn't let me go! So I had to do a mini-episode to get it out of my system. This week I was fixated on Mosiah 21:33 where it says, “And it came to pass that king Limhi and many of his people were desirous to be baptized; but there was none in the land that had authority from God. And Ammon declined doing this thing, considering himself an unworthy servant.”  

How was he unworthy??? That thought led me on so many rabbit trails.  From how the Book of Mormon is translated (and how our culture impacts our reading) to what does unworthy really mean (maybe he just didn't have the Priesthood?) to how we sometimes let self doubt talk us into feeling "unworthy" when we really ARE worthy.  

And yes, that IS Thor's hammer on the episode cover. My fellow comic book nerds will get why Mjolnir is on the cover of an episode about worthiness 😂

Technical note: I noticed in this recording I was talking REALLY fast.  So I used some technology to slooooow it down. Hopefully that helps!

Was Abinadi old or young? Where did he come from? How can we be like him? How are we standing up for truth in different ways- like coaching volleyball? How did God support Abinadi during this trial- what was the immediate goodness for Abinadi? We discuss all this and more in this week's episode!

This week we meet King Limhi who introduces us to King Zeniff and his historical account of Limhi's people.  But what do Limhi's people have to do with us? And everything we're going through? Well, there's a lot we can learn by examining their situation.

King Benjamin had a problem. How do I spread my words to all of my people? Even the ones far away, the ones that can't hear me? Luckily, the Lord inspired King Benjamin to find solutions to his problem.  Just like the Lord has inspired prophets of all ages! We talk about the ways the Lord's prophets have overcome obstacles to spreading their message in the past, what servant leadership looks like, and how to serve in the middle of COVID 19 quarantine.

Guys. I'm struggling so hard to find peace right now.  With the news media screaming at me to panic, with toilet paper shortages every where I go, with scholarly articles and data championing social distancing...I just feel kind of distant from everything, including my Savior.  I thought maybe some of you might be feeling the same way and might need a mixtape about finding peace in our Savior too!  So here it is, my "PEACE: An Easter mixtape", my early Easter gift to you.

I was so inspired by Enos this week!  His prayer and the concept of "sacred groves" really got me thinking and it dovetails into the personal preparation I'm doing for the 2020 April General Conference.  I'll share some of my thoughts, but you're also going to hear some amazing messages by Angie Killian the author of the song My Own Sacred Grove.  I'll share her song as well- please pay attention to the gorgeous message that we can receive revelation and find our own relationship with our Heavenly Father no matter where we are. A special thank you to Angie for sharing her words and talent with the world.  You can learn more about Angie and her songs at https://www.angiekillian.com/ or find her on Facebook, Instagram, and YouTube.
