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.

222 episodes
Ether 7: The Reign of King(s)
This episode, we begin the breakneck-paced historical chapters of Ether - which feel like gossip sessions with Mormon. What fun it is to listen to ancient Jaredite tea. They're not doing great, btw.
Ether 6: Crossing the Ocean
This episode, we read as the Jaredites cross the ocean to get to the Promised Land—and things are chaotic, but go surprisingly well. Honestly, for people who just got thrown around on the ocean for nearly a full year, they do pretty well once t...
Ether 5: The Three Witnesses
This episode, we get some more of Moroni's words—this time, describing how, when the BoM will come forth, there will be three witnesses who's testimony will stand against the world. Very neat to see an ancient writer talking about more recent h...
Ether 4: Veil of Unbelief
This episode, we hear from Moroni about the commandments he's received from God—both regarding this specific record, and also in general. It's pretty sick, God gives some dang good advice. Good news, even. I'd go so far to even call it a gospel...
Ether 3: (Im)perfect Faith
This episode, we read as the brother of Jared approaches God with an answer to His question that we ended last chapter with. What follows is one of the coolest chains of events ever. Like genuinely it is difficult to top. Like spiritually. You'...
Ether 2: Tight Like Unto a Dish
This episode, we read as God chastises the brother of Jared for not praying to him for four fricken years—then He put the Jaredites to work building boats. Those boats were—say it with me now—tight like unto a dish.
Ether 1: A New World
This episode, we begin an entirely new book—this time, with new people and a new timeline to boot. We open at the Tower of Babel, and we meet two characters: Jared and his (unnamed lol) brother.
Mormon 9: A God of Miracles
This episode, we continue to read the words of Moroni—and this time, he sets his sights on people who reject modern miracles. Boy, does he go OFF on those people, its wild actually
Mormon 8: I, Moroni
This episode, we get a bit of whiplash as we're introduced to Mormon's son, Moroni—who was forced to take the record after his father had an untimely death. And now, Moroni is alone. Completely alone. And he knows us.
Mormon 7: Spiritual Heritage
This episode, we read Mormon's words to the posterity of the people that killed his family. And despite what you might think—he is quite kind to them. He teaches them important principles of the gospel of Christ. Despite whatever anger he might...
Mormon 6: The One Where They All Die
This episode is exactly what it sounds like. Mormon leads his Nephite people into battle one final time, and he watches as hundreds of thousands of people die around him. What fun.
Mormon 5: Calm Before the Storm
This episode, we watch what looks like a bit of a recovery from the Nephites, as Mormon returns to the Nephites as their general—but in reality, nothing has changed. And the Lamanites are as unstoppable as ever. YAY
Mormon 4: Senseless Violence
As I'm sure you noticed from the title, this is a real ~fun~ episode... yeah the Nephites aren't doing so hot. In fact, the text says that the Nephites reach a point where they will never win against the Lamanites again. So uh... fun times.
Mormon 3: Letting Go
This episode, we read as Mormon, a Nephite general, abandons his post on moral grounds. The army he leads is wicked enough that Mormon can no longer stand to be associated with them. Their fate is their own. Also fun fact lol my voi...
Mormon 2: The Great Calamity
This episode, we read as the Nephites and Lamanites continue to shoot themselves in the foot. Idk how they managed that before guns were invented. Oh, also Mormon becomes a NEPHITE GENERAL at age SIXTEEN so that's cool for him.
Mormon 1: Diamond in the Rough
This episode serves as a bit of an epilogue to last book, about how the Nephites fared after Christ came—so, essentially, they continued to get worse. Oh, and little 10 year old Mormon was assigned to carry on the records. Then he was visited b...
4 Nephi: History Repeating Itself
This episode we are treated to a succulent 50 verses of what not to do. We watch as the people of God go from their united, utopian, consecrated state after Christ leaves them, and fracture into divided, inequitable, wicked tribes that...
3 Nephi 30: Adopted
In this brief episode, we get a little reminder about how if you're baptized, you're part of God's covenant people :O which is pretty neato I think
3 Nephi 29: Prophets Remain
This episode, we get to dig deeper into Mormon's mindset as we read more of his words that he inserted into this record. He reiterates and clarifies an earlier prophecy that he recorded, he gives some insight into his life, and he does a lil pr...
3 Nephi 28: As the Angels of God
This episode, we get to learn about the Three Nephites. Who are they? What did they do? Why do we care? Hear all about it here! They're weird little guys. Maybe you've met em.
3 Nephi 27: Do it in My Name
This episode, we get to read a private visitation of Christ only to His disciples in the Americas! He leaves them with not only the name of His church, which is what they initially asked about, but He also expounded on the Gospel and their role...
3 Nephi 26: Expounding All Things
This episode, we get to hear about how Christ expounded all things to His people in the Americas..... now, mind you, we don't get to hear the words He spoke. But we know that He did. Mormon explains why he removed Christ's words from the record...
3 Nephi 25: Roots and Branches
This episode is a short one! Christ continues to quote Malachi, speaking of the second coming—and this time... there's a focus on family.
