Another Testament of Jesus Christ Podcast

In this episode, we’re diving into Alma 1 from the Book of Mormon. We’ll meet Nehor, who introduced priestcraft and false teachings, promising everyone salvation no matter how they lived. But one man stood up to him: Gideon, a quiet hero who defended truth until the very end. We’ll talk about what priestcraft actually is, why it’s dangerous, and how teachings like “just do what feels good” and “success equals money” still lead people away from Christ today. This chapter feels surprisingly modern. We’ll also look at how the Nephites prospered when they stayed humble, served each other, and followed Christ. It’s a reminder that real happiness and prosperity come through righteous living.

In this episode, we’ll dive into Mosiah chapter 29 from the Book of Mormon, where we explore a major shift in Nephite government—from kings to judges—and what it teaches us about righteous leadership, personal accountability, and the power of agency. We’ll discuss how the people recognized the selfless service of King Mosiah, how this chapter parallels principles of democracy and freedom we value today, and why this message is especially meaningful during 4th of July celebrations. We’ll also reflect on how spiritual freedom and God’s plan of agency allow us to truly come to know Him. At the end of the episode, I’ll share my daughter Tacoma’s missionary farewell talk titled “Here Am I, Send Me”—a powerful testimony about answering God’s call, preparing for a mission, and choosing to serve with faith.  Happy 4th of July Everyone    

In this episode we will explore the Sons of Mosiah’s bold decision to preach to the Lamanites—a daunting task that involves overcoming generations of hatred and trauma.

Stick around until the end, where I will be interviewing my good friend Abraham Thomas who is Tongan and Oglala/Lakota Native American. Hope you enjoy our discussion on cultural connections, trials and the gospel."

In this episode, we explore the dramatic transformation of Alma the Younger and the sons of Mosiah after their rebellion against the Church. A powerful visit from an angel, accompanied by the shaking earth and a thunderous voice, turns Alma's life upside down, rendering him unable to speak or move. This chapter marks a pivotal moment in Alma’s repentance and highlights his newfound mission to spread the gospel. After the chapter, I'll be interviewing my husband, Aaron Campbell, and talking about a very personal and sacred experience for us. Aaron's battle with Guillain-Barré Syndrome—a condition that, much like Alma's experience, left him temporarily paralyzed and unable to move. His story offers some pretty profound parallels. Through this lens, we’ll examine both Alma’s miraculous recovery and the spiritual insights we gained during our own extremely difficult trial. 

In this episode, we dive into Mosiah chapter 26 and uncover the challenges faced by Alma as he deals with a generation that has turned away from their faith.

In this chapter, we witness the powerful union of the Nephites and the people of Zarahemla, led by King Mosiah. Alma's incredible missionary work continues as he baptizes Limhi and his people. This chapter focuses on the significance of preserving records, understanding one's roots, and the incredible power of FAITH, REPENTANCE, and COMMUNITY.

In today's chapter, we will follow Alma and his people through some tough times in Mosiah Chapter 24. Alma and his followers are facing some serious threats. They're not allowed to pray, and if they do, they could be killed! But even in the scariest moments, they keep praying silently in their hearts, and of course.... God hears their cries! Today we will talk about how God often times doesn't take our burdens away but he does help us by making our troubles feel lighter. And lets face it,.... these are his favorite times. The times we are closest to him, the times we pray the hardest, the times we need him in our life!  As we follow Alma's journey in this chapter, we see how faith and trust in God can get us through even the hardest times.

In this chapter, we'll dive into the story of Alma and his followers. It’s a journey filled with courage, faith, and divine intervention. As Alma steadfastly refuses to be a King and embraces his role as a High Priest, we'll witness the profound impact of the Holy Ghost in their lives, guiding and blessing them in miraculous ways. But their path is not without challenges, as the Lord chastens His people, and the Lamanites threaten to conquer their newfound land of Helam. 

We dive right into a period of hardship and deliverance for the people of Limhi. Facing bondage under Lamanite rule, they consult on how to escape. Eventually, Gideon proposes a plan to exploit the Lamanites' vulnerability, which is really quite ironic, but it leads to a successful escape into the wilderness. We will talk about Limhi and his people having such a strong desire to make covenants with the Lord that they want to leave everything they know to be able to do that. After the chapter is over, I will be talking with Aunty Helen Goo and her daughter Cherisse Lee Goo, who will share insights from their experiences serving in various callings in the Church. We will also delve into the importance of the covenants or promises we make in the temple and talk about the acronym her husband came up with to easily remember them and what it means: "Only Saints of God Can Come". Only - Law of Obedience Saints - Law of Sacrifice God - Law of the Gospel Can - Law of Chastity Come - Law of Consecration It's a great chapter, and I hope it helps you to think about what covenants or promises you have made, or can make with the Lord. 

In Mosiah Chapter 21, we witness the ongoing struggles of Limhi and his people as they face afflictions and oppression from the Lamanites. Despite their efforts to maintain peace, the Lamanites continue to impose heavy burdens and even engage in physical abuse. Abinadi's prophecies regarding the consequences of iniquity are being fulfilled, serving as a stark warning for our own time. Limhi's people experience profound loss and hardship, especially the widows who are left to care for their families amidst persecution. The community rallies to support these vulnerable members, reflecting the principles of compassion and communal care found in the gospel. Amidst their suffering, they cry out to God for deliverance, and though their burdens are lightened, they remain in bondage. The arrival of Ammon and his brethren offers a glimmer of hope, as Limhi and his people desire baptism and a renewed commitment to God. However, they recognize the need for authorized priesthood authority and patiently await the opportunity to align themselves with the Church. As they strive to break free from bondage, they exemplify the resilience and faith needed to overcome adversity. This chapter serves as a poignant reminder of the importance of repentance, reliance on God, and the power of community support in navigating life's challenges.        

Tensions rise as the Lamanites accuse Limhi's people of abducting their daughters. Limhi's wise decision to seek peace rather than retaliation showcases the power of humility and forgiveness in resolving conflicts. As the narrative unfolds, we witness the profound impact of approaching adversity with peaceful intentions, even in the face of grave accusations and threats of war. Through the courageous example of King Limhi and his people, we see first hand the amazing potential of choosing peace over violence, amidst trials and misunderstandings. This example makes us stop and think: What weapons can we put down in our own lives?

In this chapter, Abinadi, a prophet, faces hostility for preaching truth to a corrupt ruler, King Noah. Abinadi's unwavering stance on repentance leads to his capture and eventual martyrdom by fire. A young priest named Alma, believes in Abinadi's words, escapes and documents the prophet's teachings. Despite the king's attempt to persuade Abinadi to retract his statements, he remains steadfast, emphasizing the truth of his message even in the face of death. His prophetic words foretell calamities upon the king and his followers for their iniquities. Abinadi's courageous sacrifice serves as a testament to his unwavering faith in God's commandments and seals the truth of his teachings through his martyrdom. His death not only serves as a witness against evil in the next life but also validates the truth of the Book of Mormon. It's intriguing to note that such executions have been discovered in ancient Aztec and Maya cultures, once again linking indigenous peoples of the Americas with the truths found in the Book of Mormon.

In this chapter we will discuss the confrontations between Abinadi and King Noah's priests, emphasizing the importance of repentance and the consequences of choices.

This revelation holds a mirror to their misdeeds, unsettling not only their lives but also those they influence.

With the priests and the king at a crossroads, the story sets the stage for a pivotal turn. Abinadi's journey, from a secret missionary to a fearless truth-teller, marks a chapter of profound transformation and divine warnings.

In this chapter we introduce you to King Noah, who becomes the ruler after his father's death. However, Noah proves to be a wicked and self-serving king, leading his people into sin and imposing heavy taxes to support his lavish lifestyle.

Amid this deterioration, a prophet named Abinadi emerges, warning the people to repent or face the consequences.   We will talk about the importance of humility, self-reflection, and the avoidance of the wrong side of the pride cycle.
