<p>Our weekly program offers inspirations and insights into the Book of Mormon, focusing each week on the chapters covered each week in the Come Follow Me curriculum. We draw upon our years of experience in studying and applying the teachings and doctrines of the Book of Mormon. In each show, we sit and exchange new ideas about Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon. We approach each text from many angles, by study and also by faith, in order to enrich testimonies and enhance wisdom, based on this remarkable text. We enjoy illuminating the doctrines, personalities, histories, words, phrases, and miracles found on every page of this divinely produced volume of scripture.</p>
