Join Heather, Stephanie, and Michelle as they discuss Ether's teachings and prophecies to Coriantumr, the slow descent of the Jaredites to their own desctruction, how the Lord gives us weaknesses to make us humble, how faith in Christ gives us hope for going forward, the house of the Lord is a house of light and a house of hope, how the temple can be a building block to faith and hope, "if then" phrase of "if men will come unto me, I will show them their weaknesses"--giving us opportunities to repent and become strengthened, Ether 12:27: "And if men come unto me I will show unto them their weakness. I give unto men weakness that they may be humble; and my grace is sufficient for all men that humble themselves before me; for if they humble themselves before me, and have faith in me, then will I make weak things become strong unto them." Seeing our weaknesses is proof that we're growing closer to Christ, what does Moroni's insecurity about writing teach us about our own insecurities, what do we place our faith in--the results or in the Lord who gives us the results, how trials can teach us empathy and bring us closer to Christ.

Join Heather, Stephanie, and Michelle as they discuss the Jaredites preparation for their journey across the sea, how they sang praises to the Lord day and night, the Jaredites arrival in the promised land, the Jaredites are industrious, but then the people and Jared allows, how the Jaredites continually reject the prophets and this leads to their entire destruction, how we should welcome and listen to our prophets, how we should make an effort to prepare to receive the Lord's blessings, how we can find gratitude in any circumstances, how we can become peacemakers, we have the scriptures so we know how to stay close to the Lord, Satan has as much power as we are willing to give him, the Jaredites wouldn't have been able to cross the depths of the sea without the Lord, The principle of ability--the Lord does thing that we can't do for ourselves (touch the stones to create light) and we do what we can do ourselves (brother of Jared carries the stones from the mount), how to commend ourselves unto the Lord, and how it is sometimes growth is uncomfortable but helps us get from one place to the next and be where the Lord needs us.
