This episode is part 26 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon.
This episode covers chapters 27-32 of the book of Alma. Ammon and his brothers bring King Lamoni and his Lamanite people now known as "Anti-Nephi-Lehi" to Zarahemla for safety. Another false prophet stirs up the people of Zarahemla with his libertine atheist rhetoric and gets cursed. Alma assembles a team to do missions work among the Zoramites who broke off from the Nephites and followed an idolatrous twist on religion. Alma preaches to poor Zoramites on the hill Onidah in a way that seems to borrow from Jesus preaching the sermon on the mount.
