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.

Helaman 15: He Loved Them
This episode, we finish off the words of Samuel, with a resounding warning to the Lamanites. God misses them, and they need to get it out of their head that they are still His people. Because they aren't.
