  • Alma 30 - 31 Korihor's Challenge: The Rise and Fall of an Antichrist
    Jul 14 2024

    The 16th year of the reign of the judges marks a significant period of peace after a devastating war, as the Nephites and the children of Ammon recover and honor the law of Moses. However, this tranquility is shattered in the 17th year by the emergence of Korihor, an eloquent Antichrist who preaches against the coming of Christ and the teachings of the prophets.

    Korihor's persuasive rhetoric leads many Nephites astray, but he faces resistance from the people of Ammon and the high priests in various lands. Ultimately, he is brought before Alma, who challenges Korihor's beliefs and, after a dramatic confrontation, strikes him dumb. Korihor confesses his deceit, revealing that he was influenced by the devil.

    As Korihor wanders, begging for food, his story serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing that Satan abandons his followers in times of need. Meanwhile, Alma and his missionary companions prepare to counter the growing apostasy among the Zoramites, showcasing the enduring battle between faith and falsehood in the land of Zarahemla.

  • Alma 23 - 29 The Miraculous Conversion of the Lamanites
    Jul 7 2024

    In this episode, we delve into the remarkable transformation of the Lamanites under the decree of their king, who declared protection for the missionaries. This decree allowed Ammon, Aaron, and their brethren to preach freely across the land, leading to the extensive conversion of thousands. The Lamanites, once fierce adversaries of the Nephites, embraced the teachings of the gospel and laid down their weapons of war.

    We explore the profound impact of this decree, the establishment of churches, and the consecration of priests and teachers throughout the land. The converted Lamanites, now called Anti-Nephi-Lehies, became industrious and friendly with the Nephites, forging new bonds and opening correspondence with them. The episode highlights the astonishing success of the missionaries and the unwavering faith of the converted Lamanites, who chose to suffer death rather than commit sin.

    As tensions rose, the unconverted Lamanites, stirred up by apostate Nephites, rebelled against their king and waged war against the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. Despite the violence, the faith and love of the converted Lamanites shone through, leading to further conversions even in the face of persecution.

    Join us as we recount this extraordinary period of faith, transformation, and the ultimate triumph of the gospel among the Lamanites, culminating in their migration to the land of Jershon and the establishment of a new, righteous community.
