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.

2 Nephi 17: War in Israel

2 Nephi 14: The Temple is Cool
In this short lil episode, I talk my head off about two things: the atonement and the temple. Both are equally mind-blowing to truly think about—the fact that God gave us those two things. Among other things. But anyways. And once ...

2 Nephi 9: Co-Nerding with Jacob

2 Nephi 8: Priorities
This chapter is another Isaiah quotation - this time, all about Zion, Jerusalem, and putting our salvation first in our life! Think of it as an ancient "think celestial" talk. It's a good time. Isaiah is neato.

2 Nephi 4: The Psalm of Nephi
I, for one, think the term "psalm of Nephi" fits this chapter just right. In this chapter, we get some of the final (written) words of the great prophet Lehi before he dies, and then an extremely powerful prayer from Nephi to God—all about his ...

1 Nephi 20: Peace As a River
This week, we get a full chapter of Isaiah as quoted by Nephi! I like to think of this chapter as Nephi nerding out about his favorite scriptures, so he etched it into metal for us to read too. There's some amazing imagery and wording in here!
