Ether, the prophet, emphasizes the importance of faith, illustrating how it precedes miracles and is crucial for spiritual strength, referencing past prophets like Alma and Moroni. Despite Ether’s warnings, the people embrace wickedness, leading to widespread wars. Coriantumr, a pivotal king, sees prophetic visions of his people's annihilation if they do not repent. As battles intensify, with leaders like Shared and Shiz rising against him, Coriantumr grapples with relentless warfare and personal injuries. Ultimately, Ether’s prophecies come to pass as the Jaredite civilization collapses due to internal turmoil, leaving Coriantumr as the last survivor, fulfilling God’s word that another group—the Nephites—would inhabit the land. These chapters highlight the consequences of pride and the power of faith.Ether 12:12 | How do you define a miracle? How do we balance seeking and expecting miracles, as President Nelson invited us to do, and patiently allowing the Lord’s will to be done?Ether 13:1-14 | Why does Ether bother telling them “all things” if they are so wicked? Why not just write them down for future generations who will appreciate them? Is there power in prophesying even if no one heeds your words? Ether 13:1,31, 14:12 | Why is this the consequence God chooses for Coriantumr? Is this a fitting end for someone who caused so much destruction or is God in relentless pursuit of him?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:26 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:09:25 SPARK 1: PARTING THE LAYERED VEIL00:19:58 SPARK 2: HOW WEAK THINGS BECOME STRONG00:30:47 SPARK 3: ETHER’S ARK OF 100:42:14 QUESTIONS00:46:08 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Upon reaching the promised land, they establish a society under the leadership of various kings. However, the narrative quickly shifts to a cycle of prosperity, wickedness, and upheaval as they struggle with power, pride, and internal conflicts. The text highlights moral lessons on the consequences of rejecting the Lord's guidance and the recurring theme of repentance and redemption. Despite times of righteousness, the Jaredites often fall back into chaos, foreshadowing future trials for their civilization.Ether 6:12 | What are tender mercies to you? When have you seen them? How did you recognize them? Did your mortal mind try to reconcile them? How did you get past those feelings and find divinity in them?Ether 8:7-10 | How does Satan use good motives to do tempt us to do sinful things? How do we guard against this? How do the two great commandments help you know how to channel your emotions for good?Ether 11:12-13 | Do you think this happens today?

President Nelson just taught, “Now is the time for us to make our discipleship our highest priority.” This week’s chapters will help you understand how to accomplish that powerful invitation. In His final sermon to the Nephites, the Savior emphasizes the need for unity within His church. He directs the name of the church as well as His clear, simple, redeeming doctrine. He’ll help us understand the value of giving all we have to His work and the promise of hope to all who come unto Him. His message leaves the people hungering and thirsting after righteousness for 3 generations. Sadly, the unity begins to unravel when pride creeps back in among the people and false teachings lure hearts away from the truth. 3 Nephi 27:25-26 | How does it comfort you to know the Father is the recorder for your life? How would that knowledge impact your prayers? How does D&C 137:9 help you understand this verse?3 Nephi 28:1-10 | If this asking to tarry on the earth was such a good choice for the 3 Nephites, why don’t we have more people choosing it in scriptural history?

Interestingly, so much of His sermon was focused on their covenant connection to the House of Israel and the blessings of Abraham.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [3 NEPHI 17-19]] Insights“Behold, My Joy Is Full”October 7 – October 13, 2024WEEK 41: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week we come to know the character of the Savior in beautiful intimate ways. First, he’ll respond to the earnest, unspoken pleas of the people by healing their wounds and blessing their families. Next, He’ll show His love for the people by giving the divine mandate to remember Him through the sacrament ordinance. Finally, His watch care is evident when He calls and authorizes the twelve to carry on His work long after He departs. This study is compelling after hearing our own apostles witness of the Savior over conference weekend.3 Nephi 17:1 | Alma 40:8 says time only is measured unto men. Why is God bound by it? Why can’t the Savior just time travel and spend as much time with them as he needs? How do Doctrine and Covenants 38:2 and  Doctrine and Covenants 130:7 help you understand this verse?3 Nephi 18:36-39 | Why does everyone see him when he comes but only the apostles see Him leave? What does the cloud represent? 3 Nephi 18:35 | Why is it expedient that Jesus goes to the Father? What do the footnotes teach you about why He must go?CHAPTERS=========00:00:00 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:03:22 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:08:22 SPARK 1: ALL THINGS NEW00:16:19 SPARK 2: THE BOUNDS OF ENTROPY00:26:55 SPARK 3: STORM CHASERS00:34:56 QUESTIONS00:37:46 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Jesus will teach those ready to live a higher law and become perfected through Him. He’ll teach the Beatitudes, ask them to examine their intentions, and remind them of prophecy about His other sheep. It’s a power-packed week of study! 3 Nephi 11-16 | Elder Holland said “Refuse to accept the world for what it appears to be. Shine the brightness of your hope on it and make it what it ought to be.” How do you see this type of determination and tenacious hope in the Savior this week? Can hope actually change the landscape of your lif or does it just make you view it differently?14:13-14 | There are many reasons why the gate of baptism is strait and narrow.

Before he arrives as a glorified, resurrected being, great storms will rage. Thousands will be lost in the calamity due to their wickedness and abuse of the servants of the Lord. Those who survive the storms will gather at the temple to see His face, touch His wounds, and testify of His resurrection. 3 Nephi 10:9-10 | What is it about the subsequent verses that teach you how their mourning was turned into joy?

How do you teach those different results to your children?3 Nephi 11:39-40 | How do you see this happening in our day? Why is it tempting to declare more or less?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [3 NEPHI 1-7] Insights“Lift Up Your Head and Be of Good Cheer”September 16 - September 22WEEK 38: SUMMARY===========Insights Summary:The years leading up to the Savior’s arrival among the Nephites are tumultuous. There are external struggles between the Gadianton Robbers and internal struggles with the demons of doubt and discouragement. There are also bright moments of faith when believers choose to “hope against hope” as Paul would say. This week you’ll study their experiences and watch the Lord fulfill His promise. It’s a fantastic week of study.Questions to Consider:3 Nephi 1:9 | The believers in prophecy are threatened with death. It’s like Esther’s story in the Old Testament. They are not forming an uprising. They don’t want power. They are not a threat. Question: What causes this kind of extreme reaction? What problem are the dissenters trying to solve? Do you see this fear-based violence against the light in our day?3 Nephi 3:2 | Giddianhi, the Gadianton leader, demands that Lachoneus and the Nephites surrender themselves and their lands. He tries many techniques to convince Lachoneus to surrender. Question: Do you see similarities between this letter and the temptations Satan tried to offer the Savior? Are there similarities with Moses 1? What tools/knowledge does Lachoneus use to see through the trap?3 Nephi 7:26 | After seeing the miracles of Nephi, many believe. They choose to repent and are baptized by authorized priesthood holders.25 Therefore, there were ordained of Nephi, men unto this ministry, that all such as should come unto them should be baptized with water, and this as a witness and a testimony before God, and unto the people, that they had repented and received a remission of their sins.26 And there were many in the commencement of this year that were baptized unto repentance;Question: How is repentance a pre-requisite for baptism and something you’re baptized unto? Are these different types of repentance (like the different types of hope we discussed)? What does it mean to be baptized “unto” repentance?CHAPTERS:=========00:00:00 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:40 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:09:36 SPARK 1: DIVINE HARMONY00:22:06 SPARK 2: THE GIFTED CURSE00:30:13 SPARK 3: CHASING EQUILIBRIUM00:37:17 QUESTIONS00:41:52 WRAP UPLINKS=====ETSY Printables: https://meckmom.etsy.comWEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [HELAMAN 13-16] Insights“Glad Tidings of Great Joy”September 9 – September 15 2024WEEK 37: SUMMARY=================Insights Summary:Samuel the Lamanite is an outlier in many ways. He’s an outsider - the only Lamanite prophet on record. His mission to the Nephites focuses on repentance and finding hope in the coming of Christ. His words will soften the hearts of a few and ignite violence in the hearts of others. As a Lamanite, he is a living witness of the power of repentance. His words are powerful, prophetic, and profoundly applicable for our day. Questions to Consider:Helaman 13:13-14 | Question: Where have you see this in your life? When have you seen the righteousness of one or a few provide protection for many?Helaman 15:8 | What “thing” is Samuel referring to in this verse? What kind of freedom is this? Freedom from what exactly?Helaman 16:1 | What did each man bring to the table? Why were both needed? Why didn’t Samuel do the baptizing? Why didn’t Nephi get on the wall?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [HELAMAN 7-12] Insights“Remember the Lord”September 2 – September 8 2024WEEK 36: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week, we see a prophet’s role up close. We’ll follow Nephi as he works diligently to reclaim Nephite hearts for the Lord. We’ll hear him pray for his people from his garden tower and watch as those same people accuse him of conspiracy. Nephi will be weighed down with sorrow at times and lifted up by the Lord at others. His tenacity through it all will inspire you to study the words of our prophet and seek the wisdom God is eager to give you.1. Helaman 7:11Nephi has a desperate prayer to offer for the people. He doesn’t go to a private place. He prays on a garden tower near the highway. Question: Do you think this was deliberately demonstrative? What did he think would happen? Is there a comparison between this experience and Daniel’s prayer with his windows open (see Daniel 6:10)?Jack N Gerard, Apr 2024, Integrity: A Christlike attribute2. Helaman 11:23After a period of peace, contentions well up. Nephi and Lehi and otehrs are able to neutralize those contentions by teaching truth “having many revelations daily”Question: When have you felt this surge in your life? Do you see this playing out in the lives of prophets and apostles today? We tend to focus on conference. How does daily revelation trickle down into the church now?3. Helaman 12:5Mormon is warning about how prosperity tends to harden our hearts and make us forget God’s goodness. He said “they do harden their hearts, and do forget the Lord their God, and do trample under their feet the Holy One—yea, and this because of their ease, and their exceedingly great prosperity.”Question: What does it mean to trample the Holy One under our feet? Does this have something to do with his posture as a Redeemer Or is this about our own dismissiveness Or could it be about our casualness in expecting and receiving His gift?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:37 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:10:00 SPARK 1: HELAMAN &amp; HANNAH00:18:40 SPARK 2: THE INVISIBLE BATTLE00:28:15 SPARK 3: THE RELUCTANT DISCO BALL00:31:45 QUESTIONS00:41:21 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [HELAMAN 1-6] Insights“The Rock of Our Redeemer”August 26 - September 1, 2024WEEK 35: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:The book of Helaman is a build-up to the coming of Jesus Christ in the Book of Mormon. Our master editor, Mormon, sets the stage by helping us understand the depths of the darkness brought on by the Coriantumr, Kishkumen, and the Gadianton Robbers. That dark backdrop will make the bright bursts of light we find in the stories of Moronihah, Helaman, Nephi, Lehi, Aminadab and others. The contrast will catch your heart and help you feel more equipped to conquer the darkness of our day.Questions to Consider:Helaman 3:30 | What do you think it means to sit with the holy fathers and “go no more out”?&nbsp;Helaman 5:8 | What do you think a heavenly treasure is? Is it relationships, a rate of progression, a certainty of some kind? What else could we possibly “lay-up” for ourselves?Helaman 6:36-38 | The Lamanites converted or removed the Gadianton Robbers from the lands but the Nephites “build them up and support them” until most “come down to believe in their works and partake of their spoils.” Do you see similar trends in our day? What does ripening for destruction look like in our day?

The Lamanites have invaded fortified cities. It will take mighty efforts of men mixed with the Lord’s deliverance to get them back again. God will keep his promises of deliverance to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies and protect their 2000 sons. He'll endow them with power and capacity to change the course of Nephtite history and regain what was lost. Questions to Consider:Alma 53:2 | Do you think God prepared people like Lehi, Moroni, Helaman, Teancum, Antipus, etc. for this particular moment?&nbsp;Or do you think this particular moment makes these men? Have you felt a premortal connection in your callings or responsibilities?&nbsp;Alma 55 | What does this story teach us about God’s approach to those who have been victimized?&nbsp;How does Elder Kearon’s talk from Apr 2022 add to this idea? Do you see his invitation to go from “Victim to Survivor to Conqueror” in this story?Alma 54:20 | Where do you see this in our day? Are there those who claim power to do, seal, or stop things things that are entirely beyond their mortal capabilities?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:03:18 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:08:31 SPARK 1: INVISIBLE ARMOR OF LIGHT00:24:50 SPARK 2: PLANTED PROMISES00:36:41 SPARK 3: POWER BY DEGREES00:47:45 QUESTIONS00:53:43 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Studying their strategies and the Lord’s patterns of deliverance will help equip us for the battles of our day.Questions to Consider:Alma 44:17 | When is anger justified? How does Moroni channel it constructively? Are there stories in the Savior’s life that help you understand how to control this emotion rather than be controlled by it?Alma 49:6-9 | Why do you think the Lord works in “curious” ways to conquer physical and spiritual enemies?

Alma loves all of his sons but he has deep concerns for Corianton. Corianton has made choices that are slowly separating him from God’s plan and from the only path to true happiness. As a loving Father, prophet, and devoted mission president, Alma will offer compassionate correction and clear expectations. He’ll teach him about the ramifications of his choices and guide him on a doctrine-based path of repentance.Questions to Consider:Alma 40:5, 19 | How do you get to this place spiritually - where the things you don’t know don’t distract you from what you do? Do you have a favorite talk or quote that helps you “let it suffice?”Alma 41:10 | Are there times you thought you felt happiness from wickedness?&nbsp;What changed that perspective for you? Does verse 11 help add light to this truth? What is the “nature of happiness”?Alma 43:20 | What does it mean to let something have full sway in our hearts?&nbsp;The next verse tells Corianton to preach in truth and soberness. Are those thoughts related?&nbsp;Did you learn something about soberness last week that would help you understand how we let things have “full sway?”&nbsp;CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:04:04 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:07:43 SPARK 1: THE SLIPPERY SLOPE TO SIRON00:19:42 SPARK 2:THE HANGRY HEART00:29:11 SPARK 3: THE PERFECT FRAME00:40:27 QUESTIONS00:44:21 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

To prepare his sons, Alma will invite each to hear his counsel individually. First, he’ll talk to his oldest son, Helaman. He’ll teach him about the importance of his personal deliverance story in a beautiful, deliberate chiasmus. Next, he’ll give him instructions on deepening his own testimony by keeping the plates and preserving the stories of the past. His counsel to his second son, Shiblon, will focus on the joy that comes to our lives when we are diligent, steady, and sure. The messages are unique, but both focus our eyes firmly on the power and promise of Jesus Christ.Questions to Consider:Alma 37:12 | How can something be straight and also round?

This week, we’ll see the Lord’s efforts to bring him back to truth before it’s too late. He’ll send him Alma to try to open his eyes to the evidence of God that is already around him. Alma will also be sent to teach the apostate Zoramites. They had separated from the Church and concocted their own version of the gospel. Alma and his fellow missionaries sense the risks and brace for the weeks ahead by praying for the divine, enabling power of the Atonement of Jesus Christ to bring them comfort, strength, and peace.Questions to Consider:Alma 30:59-60 | Where do you see selfishness in Korihor’s teaching? Where do you see it in the Zoramites prayer? What is the antidote to selfishness? Is it represented in these chapters?Alma 31:5 | Do you think power is limited to righteous words? Are words planted by the adversary equally impactful on the mind?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ALMA 23-29] Insights“They Never Did Fall Away’”July 8 - July 14 2024WEEK 28: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week, we’ll study the second half of the missionary efforts of the Sons of Mosiah. Thanks to a proclamation from a converted Lamanite King, the floodgates open wide, and many Lamanites join the fold of God. The Anti-Nephi-Lehites will bury their weapons of war to witness to God and their fellowmen that they are forever changed - never to fall away again. We’ll also hear the rejoicings of joy-filled, stretched-thin laborers in God’s white field. Their earnest, poetic testimonies of the worth of souls and the power of God will inspire you to become a stronger disciple of Christ.Questions to Consider:Alma 27:5-25 | Do you see parallels between this story and the Prodigal Son? How does the reception of the Nephites compare to the Prodigal’s Dad? What does that teach you about the atonement of Jesus Christ?Alma 27:28 | Read the end of chapter 27 and tell me why you think they don’t fear death.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ALMA 17-22] Insights“They Were Steadfast and Immovable”July 1 – July 7 2024WEEK 27: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week we head deep into Lamanite territory as we follow the Sons of Mosiah on the first leg of their 14 year mission. Ammon will head to the Land of Ishmael and change the heart of King Lamoni, his wife, and many others. We’ll see how men like Ammon and women like Abish work together to live the gospel in a way that draws hearts to Jesus Christ. We’ll also study the rockier missionary road of Aaron and others who try to teach Nehor-like hearts. Ultimately, the Spirit does a mighty work through efforts of these missionaries and the tide starts to turn for the Lamanites.Questions to Consider:Alma 17:14 &amp; 21:7-11 | Can Elder Maxwell’s warning about doctrines “going wild” apply to the phrase “wild, hardened, and ferocious”.&nbsp;Is there a progression between those three things?&nbsp;How does distorting doctrine begin that slippery slope?Alma 18:1-3 | If you compare this witness to the testimony of the man born blind, what similarities do you see?&nbsp;How does Lamoni’s response differ from the Pharisees?Alma 19:6 | Do you think this light is visible to Ammon or he just senses it from the Spirit? If it is visible, why can’t others see it? What scriptures help you understand this kind of spiritual ultraviolet light?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:04:58 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:11:19 SPARK 1: THE STRIPLING SONS OF MOSIAH00:21:23 SPARK 2: A TALE OF TWO WIVES00:32:48 SPARK 3: THE POWER OF ALL00:43:40 QUESTIONS00:49:19 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ALMA 8-12] Insights“They Were Steadfast and Immovable”June 17 – June 23 2024WEEK 26: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:Alma and Amulek refuse to give up on the people of Ammonihah. This week, Alma will teach us about Melchizedek and his ability to use the power of the Priesthood to change a sin-sick city. Alma’s message resonates with some, but others turn violently against the truth. They’ll execute women and children in front of Alma and Amulek, almost daring them to intervene. Later, they’ll strip these mighty men of God of everything possible but Alma and Amulek stand strong. After a harrowing time in prison, they plead for help from the Lord and receive deliverance. Amazingly, they’ll use that freedom to lift the pains of Zeezrom and help restore the Nephites to peace and truth. It’s a beautiful week of study.Questions to Consider:Alma 14:8 | Why is the war tactic of targeting women so effective at long-term destruction? Is the opposite true? If we care for mothers, can we change the world? Could that be what motivates our Relief Society leaders today?Alma 15:18 | What does “strengthening him in the Lord” mean? Are there important parallels between this story and the parable of the Good Samaritan or any of the miracles of Jesus from the New Testament?Alma 16:4-8 | When have you seen other stories like this in scripture? Does this still happen today?

The people in Melek heed his teachings but those in Ammonihah reject him and cast him out of their city. Thankfully, Alma’s angel returns to lift his heart and send him back to teach. On his return, he meets Amulek and the two of them become a mighty force for good. Together, they’ll slice through the tricks of the adversary with a sword of truth and preach pure, hope-filled messages of Jesus Christ. Questions to Consider:Alma 8:6-10 | Where else do you see shadows of Christ in Alma’s character and experiences this week?&nbsp;Alma 10:17-23 | The Spirit of Prophecy helps Amulek navigate their trick questions. What facet of your life is like this for you? When have you felt that same ease spiritually? If you haven’t, what can you learn from your other skill to help you hone your spiritual skills?Alma 11:42-45 | Amulek uses the word “restore” and “restoration” often. Why is that such a fitting term doctrinally for resurrection? What types of things are restored? What’s the process of restoring something of great worth? What are the limitations on restoration?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:04:29 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:10:43 SPARK 1: GOD’S RELENTLESS PURSUIT00:21:22 SPARK 2: OUR MALCHUS MOMENT00:31:02 SPARK 3: THE VASTNESS OF SPACE00:40:06 QUESTIONS00:44:52 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.
