Alma 43-52 Part 2 • Dr. David Boren • August 12-18 • Come Follow Me

[@kmattinson]

You guys! These 2 episodes were absolutely engaging and rigorous! Infusing the multiple quotes from prophets and apostles were so so fitting and good! I loved being part of this dialogue-I could do this all day, everyday ❤

[@teach2learn1]

Each week better than the last. How much more I appreciate, understand and love the Book of Mormon than ever before.

[@ShikaAshley]

I remember years ago having an encounter with these chapters that changed how I saw them. For the names of cities, I substituted the names of people I love. That helped me realize that I need to help myself and others prepare ourselves against our spiritual enemy. That was a sobering thought.

[@Owensclaudia-q2y]

I listen to these every week. Love all Of them but this may be the best one yet.

[@cvmcmanus3763]

When I read these war chapters, I can't help but think of George Washington when I read about Moroni. They seem like twins to me.

[@jencypetersen3410]

I think the same! I’ve read some fantastic biographies about him (Washington) and I am struck every time by the similarities. It’s cool to see how the Lord uses people with similar characteristics for similar services over time

[@reachinghi]

I wish there was a list of those fantastic quotes shared with this podcast. everyone spoke to me.

[@heidychatwin5081]

I learned to love the war chapters because of you. When you talked about 'running together, helping each other in our struggles', I immediately had to think of my little grandson in 2012 when he and his best friend ran in the 'Little soles' marathon, during their year in Kindergarten. Whenever one of them got behind and got a little tired, the other one would grab his hand and they would run together. I even had to put a photo of them in my Book of Mormon journal. I call it 'Little souls marathon'. I'm watching from Alberta, Canada

[@drandall6622]

Thank you so much for your podcast! My husband and I own a lawn and yard care company. I listen while I'm mowing and you keep me company. :) I appreciate so much your insights, humor and the knowledge you and your guests have shared with me over the years. Thank you!!!!

[@GinaMacArt]

Thank you, Hank, John and David, for a great discussion on the war chapters in Alma and for all the wonderful additional quotes and stories. Have a great week. From Queensland, Australia. 😊❤️🙏🇦🇺

[@joypearson9474]

This is SO good! Thank you!

[@TheAnnchanpiano]

I loved the inspiring quotes and wonderful stories by all of you. Thank you!!

[@liztrefry3279]

To be taught by three excellent teachers is an amazing blessing! And this lesson is so valuable at this time in the world! Thank you for this powerful, important lesson!!!

[@daffodil71]

I watch your episodes at least twice per week, along with my “Come Follow Me” study. I love them and share them with my five siblings. We are all fans.

[@CissyJordan-n7t]

Loved hearing from Dr. David Boren. Looking forward to having him on your podcast again. Thx.

[@lovedlearning1546]

Dear John~ The war chapters are some of my favorites because of you. I've listened to your talk and read your book for so many years that as I read some of these verses, it's in your voice. Thank you for having such a passion for the Book of Mormon. I have been blessed by your love of this book and these lessons.

[@emaartamor]

Same for me. I have John’s 'Heroes' dvd and Rightous Warriors on cd from 20 years ago when I was in my 20s. Such a great and humble man of God.

[@suzannepalmer-et5ft]

I have listened to this podcast twice! Thank you, Dr. Boren for the stories, quotes, scriptures, through a leadership lens! I have also shared this podcast. Excellent resource!!

[@sherrieharbertson4867]

I walk early mornings and I live listening to the scriptures and stories I have learned so much. Thank you

[@coopergranny]

this podcast was such an eye opener for me. It brought the war years to a personal level . thank you so much!

[@davidchatterton5869]

I have been listening to these podcasts for years and have to say this one was legendary. I appreciate that the show notes have links embedded to the original sources and it caused me to take much more time searching their words. Such good content and material I am inspired to be better. Thank you for this and for all the content you share.

[@mignongoing3777]

What a great addition to this podcast. Loved this episode. Thanks.

[@beverlygarvin3906]

I have learned so much that touched my heart deeply. Thank you so very much. Bless all of you for all you do .

[@柏心妮]

So fabulous! I learned so much. The quotes and stories alone were gold, but then the personal comments and insights you all shared put the whole podcast over the top. Please invite Bro Boren back again!

[@davequist7086]

one more comment. I thank Dr. Boren for the Standard of Truth recited at the Hill Cumorah Pageant. I was in that pageant years ago, and was also a Lamanite. I knew we recited something everyday but had completely forgotten it. I looked it up and found that Joseph Smith made this statement. I’m so happy to be reminded of it and will memorize it now. Thank you - Diane Quist

[@MsEva9470]

Thank you to everyone for great episode this episodes are so hard for me you all are master teachers God bless you

[@robertlasher]

Such an inspiring podcast consistently every single week! Thank you from Rigby, Idaho!!

[@marlingrant4694]

Loved it, from preparing doubly, to not moving from your standards one inch, to stay as far from the cliff as is save, to counciling and parenting advice. God bless you all. Mataake te Atua, Arohanui, former NZ missionary from Logan Utah

[@peproybal1379]

Thank you so much for the wonderful discussion. I learned a lot!

[@kimbotschon891]

Mind blowing how accurate the questions I've recently asked from the Lord were answered by this week's episode. Thank you

[@NnamdiArt]

Love you guys, and love your enthusiasm and joy for the scriptures! Thank you for the time and effort you both put into being instruments in the hands of God to teach principles that bless lives!

[@cindylee65nov]

Loved this week’s episode! I am so thankful for this podcast and for Hank, John and their inspired guests.🙏🏻 Cindy from Yorktown, VA

[@baydance]

My kids are still young but I have a feeling I need to prepare myself spiritually for what is to come. Thank you for your parenting input. ❤

[@renatemckendry104]

Thank you for your Take Aways!! I love listening to you all, and I always learn so much!!! ❤🇨🇦

[@alightinthestorm]

Loved the end about councils. Amazing 🙏🏼

[@cecilecorlett9267]

Thank you so much for your podcasts - they are all very rewarding and inspiring. I have always wondered why so many chapters of war i in the Book of Mormon . This has helped me gain more insites and understanding.

[@kenpearce3269]

Thank you for an awesome lesson! ❤

[@dianahumphries5906]

Sooo good!! Sooo interesting!! I found the 10th century Muslim scholar, his book is freely available online: Qisas al-anbiya (Stories of the Prophets) but the author's name is given as Al-Tha'labī. Slightly different to how Hugh Nibley related it, but not in the specifics. Thanks so much fir doing this podcast, it is just brilliant. I've been looking forward to the War Chapters precisely because of John Bytheway's "Righteous Warriors" - FABULOUS!! I particularly enjoy the six white horses comin' down the mountain 😄😁😂 We sang that song a lot when I was a kid!! 💛😄

[@debrat208]

Such a great Guest to have on. The dialogue between the three of you was exceptional this week. I learned so much great application of the war chapters that I had never thought about before. Thanks so much for taking time to produce this podcast. I listen religiously every week. You guys are amazing!

[@gailpalomarez7315]

I love your guests use of uncommon vocabulary. Parley, capitulate, ostentatious. Words we know but don’t hear or use frequently. It was fun to see these adjectives. Just a side note on another amazing spiritual experience with your broadcast.

[@pamelawheeler1537]

I loved these two episodes!! Maybe the best yet. So thankful to learn many principles and truths found in these chapters. Thanks so much!!

[@pattilamb1295]

So, so great .. thank you so much!! Awesome guest & the insights from ALL of you!! Alwaz love the inspiration I gain each morning as I listen!! Thank you for your time & attention to this amazing Book & His gospel! 💞♥💞

[@r.t.matila7647]

Thank you, brothers. I enjoyed and took away new insights from both these episodes. ❤

[@lainascorner911]

This was one of my favorite podcasts. Thank you.

[@davequist7086]

Very enlightening with the 3 of you. John, I knew you were funny, but you’re really funny. I love your perspective on the scriptures

[@michaelacox2289]

Thank you for mentioning Corianton's redemption in all this (Alma 48 :18, no footnotes excluding Corianton in being compared to Chief Captain Moroni!). I think we can live or judge others with the stigma of our past actions. Corianton's redemption comes because he listened to his father's words much in the same way that Alma did; we just don't see as clearly in the Book of Mormon because he is only mentioned by name twice more in chapters 49 and 63 of Alma. We have to look harder to catch the clues that Corianton was redeemed through Christ. Our past mistakes and sins do not define who we can become especially when we are with Christ.

[@kaesundberg562]

Great podcast

[@SharmSmith]

Buster and I love this stuff! Keep it up guys!

[@marciaogden8525]

We have something so similar to these war chapters occurring in Utah right now. A candidate lost in the primary election. He has been trying to stir up the people to anger ever since, suing the state of Utah. Since he has lost his case in court battles, he’s now joining forces with the opposition party to take down the candidate who won the primary. It’s fascinating how these chapters prepare us for modern times.

[@jtmfam90]

"How much fun is this? What a joy!" "I could do this all day." Me too. Me too.

[@lindac1852]

Thank you for these podcasts. I learn so much. I'm a little behind in listening to these, but I wanted David Boren to know that Elder Bednar when he dedicated the Layton Temple earlier this year admonished us to memorize that scripture you quoted at the end of this podcast, 1 Nephi 14:14.

[@krisallen420]

Always great!!!

[@grammac9388]

Dr Boren is fantastic. Where has he been all these months/years? 😮

[@paulamorgan3725]

Thank you!

[@leonimateni5655]

Thank you

[@leahg3926]

Does anyone else sit in Sacrament meeting and look at the brethren on the stand and picture them having to rise up and defend us with guns and swords?

[@1Listen2Learn]

Not until now, but I've a feeling I will from now on. 😄

[@brenburton2534]

I love Alma 48:18 along with verse 17. Moroni was a man like Ammon, etc--but think where nearly all those men started! They did lots of bad things, and were still able to become "men of God like unto Moroni" through Jesus.

[@VictoriaHancock-xu7ud]

Kent. Could you please share more information regarding the Hugh Nibley story of the 10th century Muslim who wrote of the portion of Joseph's coat that did not decay? Where could the quotes and story be found? Thanks for the great episode!

[@lailinshale]

story of Lehonti by John at 11:35

[@elisabethj.gawthrop9312]

Captain America reminds me of Captain Moroni and Palpatine reminds me of Amalickiah.

[@christinemcleod8951]

Hi there! Loved this podcast. Can someone share which Quentin L Cook talk the quote about going to church is from? 🙏🏻

[@davidboren4675]

“Parents, the days are long past when regular, active participation in Church meetings and programs, though essential, can fulfill your sacred responsibility to teach your children to live moral, righteous lives and walk uprightly before the Lord” (Quentin L. Cook, CR Nov. 2012, p. 8).

[@deborahgardiner2802]

I got a blister, LOL😂

[@semisilavaka4455]

Brothers, do you believe Mormon named his son MORONI after this righteous general MORONI?

[@juliek2126]

In Alma 47 those who didn't want to go against the Nephites who was led by Lahonti at Mt. Antipas, I'm curious if they are some of the group that covenanted to no longer fight against the Nephites in the battle with Zarahemnah and Moroni in Alma 44. Moroni commmanded that the people enter into a covenant of peace and they didn't want to break their oath.

[@Karla70859]

Satan, will never come up to you in your righteousness… He will only encourage you to come down, even just a little at a time, until he has insmeared you.

[@icnfxit]

👍👍

[@cassiehoogendoorn9664]

Wondering why Amalickiah didn't come down from the mountain? He was busy with his new wife (and other ill-gotten gains).
