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.
