Elder Neal A. Maxwell called the chapters we are studying today the “Manual of Discipleship”. Since Mormon could include only the hundredth part of the records he had available to him, this may be the reason he zeroed right in on King Benjamin’s address and gave us so much of it. He knew we in the latter days would want to learn discipleship too.

A Special Edition Podcast: A Message of Faith and Hope from the Proctors
We wanted to take a few minutes just to relax with you, our amazing and loving listeners, and talk about faith, peace, calm and listening to the promptings and whisperings of the Spirit. You might be listening to this on the Sabbath—or it might be some other day of the week—either way, let’s just sit down together and talk.
Come, Follow Me for Families and Individuals: Easter
I grew up behind the Iron Curtain in Bulgaria. Religiously, I would have called our family Chreasters, since Christmas and Easter were pretty much the only times we went to church. The Communist regime was very repressive when it came to religion and regular gatherings weren’t permitted. Easter Sunday though, was like a shaft of light through the shadows.
Come Follow Me Book of Mormon Podcast #12: “This Is the Way,” 2 Nephi 31–33
Any returned missionary will recognize the chapters we are studying this week. We used many of these verses when it came time to challenge a serious investigator to make the commitment to be baptized. In all our readings and studies of 2 Nephi chapters 31-33, have we possibly missed some critical teachings for our own spiritual progress?

Nephi mourned because of the destruction of his descendants which he was shown in vision. Because of his great love for him and indeed for all his children, the Lord showed Nephi how his people would be restored to the testimony of Christ through the Gentiles in the last days.
Come Follow Me Podcast #11 “A Marvelous Work and a Wonder”, 2 Nephi 26-30
Nephi, of course is heartbroken because he has seen in revelation the destruction of his people. He says, “O the pain, and the anguish of my soul for the loss of the slain of my people” (2 Nephi 26:7). He says it consumes him. But he is given a promise of comfort. What is it? We’ll talk about it today.
Come Follow Me Podcast #10: “We Rejoice in Christ” 2 Nephi 20-25
These are critical chapters for us to understand as we face a most complex and challenging world that seems to be careening towards destruction. I can’t tell you the number of times a week we are reading in the news and we say to each other, “Wow, this is right out of Isaiah,” or “Isn’t that right out of the Book of Mormon?” We see it all the time.
