Bite-Sized Book of Mormon
Join me as I cozily enjoy The Book of Mormon one chapter at a time, every Monday and Wednesday! I make jokes, add insight, context, and (hopefully) further understanding. Come for the goofy jokes and the casual atmosphere... stay for the neat gospel truths in every chapter.

This episode is a follow-up to Alma's famous Alma 32 lecture on faith—the Zoramites he was teaching ask some follow-up questions (How do I plant the seed? How do I exercise faith?), and throughout this short n sweet chapter, Alma answers them.

This episode, we delve into the most beautiful lesson on faith in the entire Book of Mormon. Alma speaks to the poor and humble among the Zoramites, and shows them that it is because of their struggles that they are open to the word of God. Alma compares faith to a seed in perhaps the most beautiful (and effective) metaphor in the whole book.

Quite the mouthful, "rameumptom" is what the Zoramites call their "holy stand" that they use to "worship." I put "worship" in HEAVY quotes there. Listen to the episode to see what thoughts Alma has on their whole...... setup!

This episode, Alma faces off against one of the BoM's first recorded atheists: Korihor. He touts philosophies that atheists today still hold to! It's fascinating to see how those arguments were dealt with in ancient America.

This episode is basically Alma's diary entry. He laments not being able to do more in his missionary work, he speaks of finding glory in the lord, and he speaks of the joy he feels when he sees others' success bringing people to God.
Pretty awesome!

This episode, we start off by reading about a massive battle in which thousands of Lamanites AND Nephites die. The chapter goes on to discuss the balance of sorrow, adversity, and pain with the overwhelming light of Christ. This chapter is gorgeous, yall.

This episode, we read as the Anti-Nephi-Lehies (newly dubbed the 'people of Ammon,' or the Ammonies) find shelter with the Nephites! The Lamanites (spurred by the Amalekites.... again) attacked the defenseless Ammonites and so Ammon convinced the king to seek shelter among the Nephites. Things, of course, go well!

This chapter is nearly entirely a prayer of thanks unto God from Ammon. He spends the chapter absolutely GUSHING about the insane mercy, love, and justice of God and the amazing work that him and his brothers were able to be a part of. This is such an uplifting chapter.

This episode is an oddball—we see the fractures forming among the Lamanites as they grapple with the massacre from last chapter, and we see some Lamanites accept the truth as they take accountability for their sins. Also, there's some cool Law of Moses insight thrown in there at the end for good measure.

This episode is particularly epic. Not only do the Anti-Nephi-Lehies literally bury all of their weapons—but they lay down as the Lamanites attack and kill them, praying all the while. A thousand innocent Anti-Nephi-Lehies die. Just because they were SO committed to their nonviolence covenant that they would not so much as defend themselves.

This episode, we watch as Ammon and his brothers incite a spiritual REVOLUTION among the Lamanites. They convert cities of Lamanites at a time. What do those new converts name themselves? The Anti-Nephi-Lehies. They have laid their 'weapons of rebellion' against God and man down, and they are now allowing their lives to be swallowed up in Christ.

This episode, we watch as King Lamoni's Father (The "high king" as I call him) gets absolutely sledgehammered by the spirit. He expresses his willingness to give up EVERYTHING he has... just to know God. What a beautiful testimony. Also, the last third of the chapter is just Nephite geography...... thanks, Mormon.

This episode, we spectate as Aaron essentially bangs his lil' missionary head against a wall as he tries to preach to angry Nephite dissenters. However, the ultimate takeaway is not that Aaron is a bad missionary, but rather that his efforts were just as valid as Ammon's...

This episode, we read the epic first face-off between Ammon and King Lamoni's father! Being the king above Lamoni, this guy certainly has sway—but of course, Ammon unflinchingly faces him, and even defends King Lamoni on his behalf. Wild stuff!

This episode, we watch the entire court of the king pass out—the king (again), the queen, Ammon, and all of his servants. Abish, a Lamanite believer, tries to rally the public to go see the great power of God—but not many believe at first.

This episode, we hear as Ammon preaches to an insatiably curious King Lamoni. After being absolutely floored (and terrified) by Ammon's actions with the sheep last chapter, he is truly ready for Ammon's words about God.

This episode is a bit of an epilogue to last chapter—the city of Ammonihah is completely destroyed by the Lamanites. In order to avoid anything like that happening in the future, Alma and Amulek begin to preach voraciously to help everyone who will listen hear and understand the word!

This episode, we read of Alma and Amulek in Sidom (after having left Ammonihah). They meet (and heal) a faithful Zeezrom, establish a church, and Alma acts as a true Christlike disciple towards Amulek.

This episode, we watch all of Alma and Amulek's progress with the people get literally burned to ash before their eyes. How do they deal with it? Do they get burned too (à la Abinadi)? Tune in to find out.
