Thank you for this! I really enjoyed the discussion.

John Hilton’s video is no longer available. This happens regularly when I share content. Just saying everyone needs hard drive back ups and at that my home is involved even when I sleep and thousands of dollars of security doesn’t keep them out

I do not agree fully with the idea that our circumstances of life are due to our faith or lack of in the pre earth life. I think of you use this idea it will butt heads with the more relevant teachings of king Benjamin. If we let Dr skinners idea go to far we could end up saying to those in need that they brought it upon themselves and not act in a Christ like way. There is a need for explanation here and the scriptures he cited dint hold water for me in the way he wants. Also I have not heard modern prophets teach this in any significant way.

Swallowed up in the joy of Christ for me means, swallowed up in the peace Christ brings. Facing my own life situations, things don’t always turn out the way I expected, wanted or hoped but if I think celestial, there is always a feeling of peace that only Christ can bring. Thank you for another great podcast.

According to the bible, Romans 12:1 giving yourself to the Lord to become a living sacrifice. Weare to present our bodies a living sacrifice, holy. well pleasing to God, which is your reasonable service. We are consecrated to enjoy the perfect love of the triune God. One God not many gods.

Love this! I will find my favorite couple of words to apply during the Sacrament to praise "My Great God"!

Thank you for continuing to do these great discussions!! Enjoy Sister Denning and her sweet funny spirit. 🤓

Excellent! Enjoy and learn so much from you. I used to listen to both of you in scripture roundtable discussions. May you be blessed.

Thank you, brothers. I'm glad to see Dr. Skinner, always insightful.

It is comforting to learn that as long as we are trying, even if we are not getting it quite right, everything will still work out as it should in the end.

When Jesus Christ died and shed His blood for us is the greatest covenant, He ushered in Gods grace for all those who believe in the biblical Jesus. Without His grace we have nothing, and it is all because of His will that works through us. We can do nothing without Him. Jesus is significant.

Thank you for sharing your awesome discussion and the way you both made the scriptures real. The expression of the Anti Nephi Lehi’s faith is a very unique one and you pulled out some great points. Thank you both.

I really love the meme you have created, "I go because I know . . . " and the important, true additions you add to the meme.

I love how you both taught that God takes away the painful guilt in our heart through the merits of His son. There is no limit on what Jesus Christ has done and continues to do for us

Bravo! Really good episode, for all the reasons sited by others. Thank you!

Thank you for doing these weekly podcasts. I really enjoy them. I especially enjoy the ones like this week's where there is a lot of personal application. We are reading the CFM verses each week so we don't need a recap of what we are reading. You do a great job in these podcasts of not just recapping, but rather making the scriptures real through personal application. Thanks again.

Thank you for shedding light on this part of scripture that is never talked about. That was really cool to listen to!❤

Lori and Kerry: Thank you so much for this message I badly needed. God bless you both! 🤗🤗

What a great discussion!

Thank you for this discussion. It helped me to make a connection that I hadn't done previously. I suspect Ammon has confidence because of verses 10-12 in chapter 17. He knows that whatever happens, all will be well. I've thought that because when I decided to serve in the military I prayed much to know if I should. The Spirit was guiding me in that direction, but I needed direct confirmation - which I received. I faced many trials, but did so with confidence. That confidence was because I knew that whatever happened, the Lord was with me. I was the only openly active member that my comrads knew (in the case of one, the first positive example). For the first time, I have made the connection between the confidence I had with Ammon (and his brethern/brothers). #gratefulforTSAR

As I was reading Alma 27:34 tonight, I noted that it names the four sons of Mosiah as Ammon, Aaron, Omner and Himni. That makes me wonder if Ammon was the oldest after all and that’s why he blessed his brothers and the others who had traveled with them. Maybe birth order had nothing to do with the people’s choice of Aaron to be king. This podcast got me thinking….thank you.

Great episode! Thank you. ❤

your theory about the name "anti lehi nephite" is not crazy, that's the same impression I've received years ago.

Kerry Muhlestein indicated the meaning of Anti-Nephi-Lehis may be "not-Nephi" Lehites. In other words, those not descendants of Nephi but still descendants of Lehi. That is an interesting interpretation. However, Alma 17:19 seems to indicate that those in the land of Ishmael where Ammon was preaching are descendants of the sons of Ishmael who became "Lamanites." So it would seem that they are not descendants of Lehi at all but of Ishmael. Or did I misunderstand what was said?

Thanks for your great discussion on these new converts' chosen name and its application to us personally.

Thank you for sharing your experiences.

"Go because you know" Thanks for so many insights and thoughts!

I have wondered for years why Ammon was "the chief among them" (Alma 17:18) when Aaron appeared to be the eldest. The thought came to me this morning that it might be that the tradition Nephi started by appointing his brother to be a priest to the people continued in the line of kings, and that Ammon was the one thus appointed.

I love the Book of Mormon and have been in awe this year as I teach our 10 to 11 year olds in Primary! But these chapters, one little girl especially, has been looking forward to for weeks. She wants to hear the stories about the Lamanites becoming a Chosen, Covenant and righteous people. This week we’ll begin! Thank you for these insights!

I have his book, and I listen to all his podcasts. Hilton is excellent and has a great sense of humor and the funniest stories to tell! I'm grateful for the opportunity to continually learn from you, incredible Saints!

Thank you for this presentation! Also love the Book of Mormon. If you haven’t listened to this particular episode, you have a treat in store.❤️

What a treat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great insights and info. We can definitely apply the teachings and examples of the BoM. I’m loving your book on Understanding Isaiah. I’m learning so much. It was lovely to meet John Hilton in Atlanta in his sons mission Macedonia ward. I need to get the Book. Voices of the BoM. You both are so informative

I thought in their culture that servant and slave were the same.

Such a good episode! I love the idea of I Go, for I Know and I Know, for I Go. That's powerful! And I definitely want to put it on a T-shirt, one on the front, the other on the back.

Another possibility regarding "Lamanitish": this is 3 generations from when King Mosiah the First left the Land of Nephi and the Lamanites took over the land. Lamanitish people may have been descendants of unbelieving Nephites who stayed behind and intermixed with the invading Lamanites.

Thanks much Kerry...great discussion! You both are scholars but expressed your ideas in more conversational language so that even dummies like me can catch on to the principles......love it!!

Thank you. This episode was a bit mind blowing for me. On one hand, as I listened I wondered “have I ever read the Book of Mormon? How could I have missed all these tidbits?” On the other hand, this challenged me to go back and read again, seeking out all those small and nuanced treasures within the stories. Your series is always edifying but this was exceptional.

Great episode! I also learn so much each week from Come Follow Up!

Scripture says that Abish was a Nephite Servant. As we know servants often derive from being taken in battle. I also read that all of the servants of Lamoni were Nephite. Also in his father’s kingdom.

So good,,thank you. Great points drawn out, Ammon a type for Christ, he protects the kings sheep and brings them back to the fold, as Christ does for our Heavenly Parents children. Ben was so the perfect person for this scripture block. The last two episodes have drawn out so much of what is at the heart of Christ’s suffering for us, and these events are recorded in the middle of the Book of Mormon, in other words at the heart of it’s testament of Christ. Thank you both.

Someone asked about the verses about not casting someone out of the synagogue and ministering to them and perhaps they can be healed. It is 3 Nephi 18:22-32.

An excellent interview. Thanks for all your hard work in these presentations. Looking forward to next week.

Is there a way to get the pdf of the article she mentions?: Newell Wright (North Dakota State University) - “The Trial of Jesus Christ as Reflected in the Book of Mormon: A Typological Interpretation of Alma 14” I found the title from the program but can’t find any link to text. Thank you!

Bro Lomu is my Granddaughter's institute teacher, and she loves him! Go UTES!!
