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.

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.
3 Nephi 24: Draw Near Unto Me
This episode, we read along as Christ quotes another Old Testament prophet—this time, Malachi. He speaks of events preceding the Second Coming, and how God will never abandon His people. Even if they do.
3 Nephi 23: Great Are the Words of Isaiah
This episode, we get to listen along as Jesus Christ gasses up Isaiah to the max and He also lays out His central gospel message in one fell swoop (verse 5 lol)
3 Nephi 22: Big Tent Church
This episode, we read as Jesus Christ quotes Isaiah applies it directly to the Nephites, providing a new interpretation and lens through which we can understand Isaiah's words! Isn't revelation from God a miracle?
3 Nephi 21: Bringing in Israel
This episode, we listen as Christ continues to speak prophetically—this time, focusing closer on the Gathering of Israel and the treatment of the Gentiles after they hear His word.
3 Nephi 20: Fulfilling Isaiah
This episode, we read as Jesus describes specifically what prophecies from Isaiah that His life fulfills, and that will be fulfilled in the future. He speaks of His life, teaching among the Gentiles, and the eventual Gathering of Israel! It all...
3 Nephi 19: Unorthodox
This episode is the prayer episode. And the Nephites.... pray to Jesus. Not Heavenly Father, in the name of Christ as they were commanded. How does Christ deal with this?
3 Nephi 18: The Sacrament
This episode we see Christ giving three (and a half) commandments to His people. First, to partake of the sacrament. Second, to pray always. Third, to always welcome everyone into our communities. And the half one is Christ telling His disciple...
3 Nephi 17: Behold Your Little Ones
This episode, we read as Jesus Christ moves to leave, but is swayed by the Nephites to stay. He then goes on to heal the multitude, call all of the little children unto Him, and pray an incomprehensibly beautiful prayer for the people. Oh, then...
3 Nephi 16: God's People(?)
This episode, we read as Jesus Christ prophesies to his Nephite people—about the Gentiles, the House of Israel, and their wickedness and righteousness.
3 Nephi 15: Other Sheep I Have
This episode, we read as Jesus Christ tells the Nephites all about how they, in fact, are those "other sheep" He alluded to when he spoke to His disciples in Jerusalem. And in fact, further than that, there are even MORE of His people, spread o...
3 Nephi 14: Judge Not
This episode, we read more of Christ's words in the Americas! This time around, He focuses on judgment, asking and receiving, and how God can give perfect gifts to those who ask.
3 Nephi 13: The Lord's Prayer
This episode, we read through more of Jesus' American Sermon on the Mount—we read about why we should pray, how we should pray, and all in all we're taught to bring an intentional, sacred dimension to all of our worship.
3 Nephi 12: Be Perfect
This episode, we read as Jesus Christ gives basically the Sermon on the Mount. He ends it by saying that He would that we be perfect. What does that mean? How do we consider that in context? How do we practically apply it?
3 Nephi 11: This is Not My Doctrine
This episode, we read as Jesus Christ Himself comes down among the Nephites and lays down His doctrine. It doesn't get more sacred, or more simple than this.
3 Nephi 10: Piercing the Fog
This episode, we read as Christ continues to teach to the Nephites from up above—and, miraculously, the earth cleaves back together. At this, the Nephites turn from their mourning and lamentations into a bright joy and gratitude to God. Wow the...
