Bite-Sized Book of Mormon

This episode, we learn about another false prophet—this time, named Amlici. This guy is a lot more politically savvy than Nehor was, so Amlici actually almost gets elected as king. Not quite, though. And how does Amlici react to his loss? Why, he starts a civil war. Spoiler: I say "insane" like 7 times in this episode.

This episode, we begin the great and mighty book of Alma! This time around, Alma the younger is faced with a false prophet in his city, along with all of his wannabe copycat followers. How does one deal with a problem spreading through the city like a virus?

This episode, we read what feels like the epilogue to Mosiah—chapter 29. A system of judges is installed in the Nephite land—no more wicked kings (Noah, I'm looking at you)! Finishing off this era of the BoM and heading bravely into the next, we have rockstar missionary (and now chief judge/high priest) Alma the younger.

This episode, we read Mosiah 28—in which Alma the younger and his freshly angel'd homies get permission from King Mosiah (and God) to go preach to the famously hard-hearted Lamanites. Mosiah also translates the record of the Jaredites with some divine interpretive stones, no biggie.

This episode, we dig into Mosiah 27—in which Alma the Elder's wayward son (and his sons of Mosiah homies) get absolutely put in their PLACE by an angel of the Lord and Alma the younger spits BARS after he wakes up from his post-angel coma. This one's a good one.

This episode, we read as Alma freaks out about an outbreak of sin and hate in the city of Zarahemla. What does he do? He prays to God. And what does God do? He gives him the most epic of revelations to help deal with it. Does it work. You fricken bet it does.

This episode, we read through Mosiah chapter 25, in which basically everything goes right. A buncha people get baptized, Alma organizes the church in Zarahemla, and things are awesome. There are also some children of kidnapped-wife-marriages that decide to become Nephites. So that's cool too.

This episode, we read Mosiah 24—in which we finish off the story that was set up in the previous chapter. How do the people of Alma get free from the Lamanites? Why, by trusting in and praying to God, of course. How else?

This episode we read through Mosiah 23, in which we return to the people of Alma and watch them get enslaved (once again) by a wicked priest of Noah. Plot twist though, not only did they marry the girls they kidnapped from the Lamanites a couple chapters back, but they also (big surprise) allied themselves with the Lamanites. What great dudes.

This episode, we read through Mosiah 22—in which the people of Nephi pull out a seeecret weapon to overpower their Lamanite captors... booze. The entire city is able to escape by night just because those guarding them were blackout drunk. What responsible guards.

This episode, we sink our teeth into Mosiah 21—in which Limhi's people are put under Lamanite burdens, become humble (after some hoohah) and then, by degrees, are delivered from their trials. A strikingly realistic and relatable tale of returning to Christ.

This episode, we read Mosiah 20—and follow along as the Noah's old wicked priests, still in hiding, create a little bit of... shall we say, chaos. King Limhi defends his meager kingdom from the resulting attacking Lamanite army, and the absolute class and grace with which he does it is amazing to watch. What a guy.

This episode, we dig into Mosiah 19—in which King Noah abandons his entire kingdom at the first hint of danger, and forces many other men in his kingdom to abandon their families. Wow, what a great guy! Needless to say, once he doesn't let them go back to the city... they kill him. Whatever shall his successor, Limhi, do with this broken kingdom he's inherited?

This episode, we read Mosiah chapter 18! Abinadi's first full chapter post-mortem, the entire focus of this section is on our dear fledgeling missionary: Alma. He takes one single chapter to get several hundred followers of his own, at least 200 of which he baptizes himself! Alma is an absolute madlad. Abinadi's words really did a number on him.

This episode, we read Mosiah 17, in which Alma (ex-wicked priest) is converted and Abinadi has perhaps THE MOST cinematic death in all of scripture. It is so exceedingly dramatic and awesome. Tragic, yes, but still amazing. As my man was burning to death he got out some dramatic final prophecies regarding God's vengeance against their people, too. If I were with King Noah rn I'd be freaked.

This episode, we read Mosiah 16—in which Abinadi finishes off his epic speech to King Noah and his lackeys. After all that he has said—the wicked priests are without a doubt sinners. They know their sins and now Abinadi's mission is completed. Insert fist pump here.

This episode, we read Mosiah 15, in which Abinadi keeps spittin truth at the wicked priests of King Noah! This time, he gets into some more atonement stuff (what it is, what it does), and also (and more importantly), just who it is that will inherit the Kingdom of God. (Hint: I'm tryna be in that group!)

This week, we read Mosiah 14, in which Abinadi continues his tradition of quoting the Old Testament at the wicked priests of King Noah—he quotes a whole chapter of Isaiah! Which, you guessed it, is all about Jesus and how crazy and amazing and perfect He was. What a guy.

This episode, we read Mosiah 13—and Abinadi is letting the wicked priests of king Noah HAVE IT. He's protected by God (like Nephi is that one time that L&L try to kill him), so he's untouchable. He quotes the BIBLE at em, dude.
