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? What do they know now that they didn’t know in the darkness?3 Nephi 10:12-15 | Why was Samuel protected from stones and arrows while the other prophets were not? What was unique about his mission? 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 & 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”? 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?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ALMA 53-63] Insights“Preserved by His Marvelous Power”August 19 – August 25 2024WEEK 34: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:The second half of the war chapters are focused on reclaiming what has been lost. 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? Or do you think this particular moment makes these men? Have you felt a premortal connection in your callings or responsibilities? Alma 55 | What does this story teach us about God’s approach to those who have been victimized? 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?

He knew the pains of war and the power of studying the people who manage to stay valiant in it. This week, we’ll study the efforts of men like Captain Moroni and Helaman as they push back against the violent strategies of men like Zerahemnah, Amalickiah, and Ammoron. 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?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ALMA 39-42] Insights“The Great Plan of Happiness”August 5 – August 11 2024WEEK 32: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week we head into Alma’s guidance to his third son. 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? 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? The next verse tells Corianton to preach in truth and soberness. Are those thoughts related? Did you learn something about soberness last week that would help you understand how we let things have “full sway?” 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?

Alma will teach them about planting seeds of truth and nourishing emerging young growth. He’ll help them connect to ancient prophets and increase their faith one hope-filled step at a time. We’ll also study Amulek’s testimony of the great and last sacrifice of Jesus Christ, followed by his earnest warnings about this life being the time to meet God.Questions to Consider:Alma 32:3-4 | How are poor in the things of the world and poor in spirit connected? How does understanding the gospel allow you to be poor in the world but full of the Spirit? Alma 33:3-11 | How are our afflictions and sincerity an amplifier for our prayers? Elder Holland promised, “God hears every prayer we offer and responds to each of them according to the path He has outlined for our perfection.” How have you seen this in your life?Alma 34:10 | Are the phrases “great and last sacrfice” and “infinite and eternal sacrifice” the same or is there a reason Amulek uses both?

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?

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. Have you ever seen someone face the prospect of death with this kind of tenacious faith?Alma 23:17 and Alma 27:26 | New names are significant in scripture.

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 & 21:7-11 | Can Elder Maxwell’s warning about doctrines “going wild” apply to the phrase “wild, hardened, and ferocious”. Is there a progression between those three things? 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? 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?

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? 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.

The people of Alma will find refuge and covenant connection in the Waters of Mormon but stumble into bondage in the land of Helam. Ultimately, they will pray for relief and find it in their day-to-day burdens as well as their miraculous escape. Limhi’s people will also suffer through decades of bondage. They’ll come to know their need for a deliverer and find it with the help of the Lord. Thanks to ingenuity, faith, and the help of Ammon’s band of rescuers, they too will find deliverance in Zarahemla.sage to others and create an epic pivot point in the Book of Mormon.Questions to Consider:Mosiah 19:16-17 | Do you see a link between this type of treatment of women in this week’s chapters and the lack of commandment keeping Abinadi spoke about?

He’ll echo the core messages of King Benjamin - about the Savior’s life and redemptive role - but he will teach in a vastly different setting to a group who refuses to hear. His true words and poised testimony will prick the heart of Alma who will carry his message to others and create an epic pivot point in the Book of Mormon.Questions to Consider:MOSIAH 12:20-24 (PRIESTS QUESTION) & 15:14-18 (ABINADI’S ANSWER) | When have you seen “beautiful feet upon the mountains” like theirs? How did they publish peace or bring good tidings?MOSIAH 15:23 | How does it change your perspective to think of being “raised”? How does this relate to overcoming the “Fall”?MOSIAH 17:13-19 | Why does a loving God ever “execute vengeance”? Why is this a fitting warning for this group?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [MOSIAH 7-10] Insights“In the Strength of the Lord”May 6 - May 12, 2024WEEK 19: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week’s study spans several decades, and we find out what happened to Zeniff’s group after they left Zarahemla for the land of Nephi. We’ll study the incredible motives of Ammon, a descendant of Zarahemla, as well as the humility of Limhi, who gratefully accepts his help. We’ll also go back in time to read Zeniff’s record. His words will teach us about the slippery slope to bondage and the risks of being over-zealous. However, the overarching message of the Savior’s deliverance runs through each chapter.Questions to Consider:MOSIAH 7:15 | These seem to be counterpoints to Benjamin’s description of his rule. Are there other contrasts that Zeniff might appreciate?MOSIAH 7:25 | Why is fallen a good word choice here? It’s almost like the “natural man” is susceptible to the cosmic gravity of the world without GodMOSIAH 7:18-19 | How can you genuinely rejoice in the hope of deliverance?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [MOSIAH 4-6] Insights“A Mighty Change”April 29 - May 5, 2024WEEK 17: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:We’ll wrap up King Benjamin’s sermon this week. His people will be so moved by the Spirit that they will fall to the ground in reverence and then rise with new hearts and dispositions. Benjamin will encourage their desires to make covenants and unite as the Children of Christ. In his final act as a mighty King, he’ll consecrate his son, Mosiah, to rule and reign in righteousness.Questions to Consider:Mosiah 4:24-25 | How does this principle apply in other ways beyond financial? How do we “have not and yet have sufficient”?Mosiah 5:8 | How does a covenantal bond add depth and relationship to the commandments? Do you see other commandments differently because of the covenants you’ve made?Mosiah 6:3 | Do you see similarities between Benjamin’s consecration of his son Mosiah and the consecration of other sons in scripture?  CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:04:40 SPARK 1: SPIRITUAL SIPHONS00:14:16 SPARK 2: RETAIN A REMISSION00:25:29 SPARK 3: COME AS YOU ARE00:35:13 QUESTIONS00:40:55 WRAP UPFollow Maria on:Creative Come Follow Me digital courseMeckMom.comInstagram @meckmomlifeYouTube 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 [MOSIAH 1-3] Insights“Filled with Love towards God and All Men”April 22 - April 28WEEK 17: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week, we’ll cover the first three chapters of Mosiah and the first half of King Benjamin’s sermon. His words to his sons and people are centered on service and offer us a powerful glimpse of true leadership. His recounting of the angel’s words will help us recognize the character of the Savior.Questions to Consider:1. Mosiah 2:5-6 | Mosiah asked that the people gather in families, each in their own tent. Question: How does this approach mimic home-centered, church-supported learning? Why would this bless Benjamin’s people? How does it bless us?2. Mosiah 2:36-37 | Benjamin warns that he’s teaching them truth and they’ll be held accountable for the knowledge they receive. He warns not to “withdraw themselves from the Spirit.” Question: Often we talk about the Spirit withdrawing from us. How do we withdraw from it? What does it mean to give the spirit “no place in us”?3. Mosiah 3:5 | The angel says Christ will come in a tabernacle of clay. Question: How does the word tabernacle/tent help you understand this second estate of mortality? Why clay? How does that word add to our understanding?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:06:15 SPARK 1: HOW TO LEAVE A LEGACY00:14:05 SPARK 2: COURAGE TO CLIMB00:22:34 SPARK 3: HARK THE HERALD ANGELS SING00:3036: QUESTIONS00:33:56 WRAP UPFollow Maria on:Creative Come Follow Me digital courseMeckMom.comInstagram @meckmomlifeYouTube CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER: This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.
