Alma 25If we don't take a minute to reflect back, it is difficult utilize our faith to move forward.In today's episode we take a minute to reflect back on prophecies, personal revelation, and priesthood blessings that were fulfilled during this chapter of the Nephite/Lamanite history. God's word will be verified. He is a God of Truth and Cannot Lie.

Alma 23-24How do we make a mighty change in our lives? How do we let go of wicked traditions (or at least behaviors that aren't serving us) and adopt new ones? How do we allow "the plan of salvation to be made known unto us as well as unto future generations?"There isn't a better group of people to study to find the answers to these questions than the Anti-Nephi-Lehis.As you listen to this episode, please approach it with someone in mind that you desire to build more brotherhood with.

Alma 19-22I'm concerned that there are too many of us who don't realize the faith in Jesus Christ that they posses and work in their daily lives. They wonder if they have faith, or how to get faith, or think that other's have more power in their faith to work miracles in their lives.In this episode, I highlight the various acts of faith that are taken by the Lamanites that Ammon and his brother Aaron will teach. These are the beginnings of a group of people who will be known for their exceedingly great faith and commitment to Jesus Christ - the Anti-Lehi-Nephis.I desire that you will see yourself in them.I desire that the power of your faith will grow as you acknowledge the faith you exercise and then intentionally take ownership of these devotions to God.In order to receive the ponder prompt for this episode, go to sisterscriptorians.com by Tuesday (November 23rd) and sign up to receive my weekly emails.

Alma 18The gospel is simple and the three pillars of eternity can bridge the gap between perceived divisions.There is truth and though the Lamanites had passed down the tradition that "whatsoever they did was right" the truths that1) God is the Creator of Heaven and Earth and He created man in His own image and know the thoughts and intents of His creations2) That a Fall from God was necessary - introducing the choice between wickedness and righteousness3) But before the world was even created, a plan for Redemption was put into play making possible the Atonement of Jesus Christ for each who choose Him.These simple truths were the beginnings that made it possible for thousands of Lamanites to be converted.

Alma 17As we study the sons of Mosiah and their preparation to serve a mission amongst the Lamanites, I invite you to liken the scriptures to yourself.Study the preparation that these young men engaged in, the sacrifices they made, and the role they took on as they consecrated their time, talents, and lives to be instruments in the hands of Godsisterscriptorians.com

Alma 17: 1-5Place yourself in the shoes of Alma, traveling from one city to another establishing the church, when there on the road are your old friends. After 14 years of not seeing each other, can you imagine the reunion of feelings these men must have had?But Alma rejoices when he discovers that the sons of Mosiah were still his brethren in the Lord.Have you been feeling a little lonely in your testimony lately? Voices of opposition are becoming not only louder, but closer to home for many of us. My hope is that we can, while still exercising Christlike love for those who disagree with our beliefs, build strong relationships with those who do.

Alma 17The utter destruction of Ammonihah and the verification of God's word came swiftly and completely.Today we learn from the efforts of Chief Captain Zoram who, in order to save the Nephites who had been taken captive by the Lamanites, went unto Alma, a man with the Spirit of Prophecy to learn how he could rescue his fellowmen from their enemies' hands.We too believe in prophets, seers, and revelators and after just experiencing General Conference, what specific instructions did we receive to help do the same? Are we treating their instructions as suggestions or as prophecy?*In order to receive these podcast episodes in your mailbox and to receive any ponder prompts available to help liken the doctrine we learn each week, go to sisterscriptorians.com and sign up to receive my weekly emails.**Plan on joining me on October 20, 2021 for a complimentary webinar on How To See The Tender Mercies of the Lord.

Alma 14"Be it according to the will of the Lord," can be the hardest words to utter, let alone stand by, when we are feeling desperate or weak in faith.Listen and learn about the persecutions that the believers of Alma's teachings received at the hands of the Ammonihahites and also the faith that Alma had to break the bands and crumble the prison walls around him. This power only occurred when it was the right moment and was in harmony with the Lord's will.Do we have the strength of faith needed to rise and break the bands of our own persecutions? That is a sobering question to answer and pursue.*In order to receive these podcast episodes in your mailbox and to receive any ponder prompts available to help liken the doctrine we learn each week, go to sisterscriptorians.com and sign up to receive my weekly emails.**Plan on joining me on October 20, 2021 for a complimentary webinar on How To See The Tender Mercies of the Lord.

Alma 13As members of the the Church of Jesus Christ, a challenge we have before us it to not allow the extraordinary to become ordinary; to not live below our privileges.Has the Melchizedek Priesthood become a little ordinary to you? Is it just who we are and that you've lived so long with it, you've forgotten its significance?In this episode, discover how Alma offered a rescue plan to the people of Ammonihah, teaching them how the plan of redemption is carried out by God and how His power has reversed course before when a people have chosen Him.Would you like to receive complimentary Ponder Prompts that help you more deeply apply the doctrine from the Book of Mormon?

Alma 12Alma teaches the people of Ammonihah the truth that, through Jesus Christ, all mankind will be resurrected from a state of mortality to immortality. When we teach the "WHY" of God's plan and the desire He has to rescue us from a lost and fallen state to give us immortality and eternal life, the "HOWs" make sense. This is how God parented Adam and Eve and this is how we can help our children receive understanding.Would you like to receive complimentary Ponder Prompts that help you more deeply apply the doctrine from the Book of Mormon?

Alma 12:1-19For the people of Ammonihah, to be of the Order of Nehor and to not believe in the resurrection, it supported their belief that they had no need to repent. They were abiding by a philosophy that fully supported the "Eat, Drink, and Be Merry for tomorrow we die" perspective. Their belief system enabled the adversary to lay his traps of lies and deceit dragging them further away from the ways of God.When Zeezrom discovered that God knew all of his thoughts and that Alma and Amulek spoke of a resurrection with a judgment, he began to listen.In this episode, we discuss how our thoughts, words, and works enable us either to receive more of the mysteries of God or to lose them. We learn how closely they are related to one another along with the relationships we have with ourselves, others, and God. To lie to man is to lie to God. That is what Zeezrom learned and the magnitude of that truth caused him to tremble.For coaching services, email me at carrie@sisterscriptorians.com. From now until the end of t

Alma 10-11   Zeezrom, the primary agitator of the crowd and the examiner of Amulek in the city of Ammonihah, is a walking miracle of the complete cleansing and healing of the atonement of Jesus Christ. In today's podcast, learn where Zeezrom began and where the grace and mercy of Jesus Christ was able to take him. If Zeezrom can experience such cleansing, what is available to you? If he can be used in the work of God, what work is available for you?

Alma 10   The repentance of Amulek is a glorious example of how we can change course and allow our hearts to be softened. Right before the angry crowd of Ammonihah - a crowd who desired to imprison a prophet of God, Amulek chose to stand up and model the counsel that they had just received from Alma. Counsel on how to repent and change course. Sister Scriptorians, this week, we too have an opportunity to stop and change course. Just like an angel of God appeared to Amulek, telling him to return home because he is to feed a prophet of God, we too can return to our homes and invite the prophet into them. General Conference this week is an opportunity to feast with the prophet of God and partake of Living Waters and the Bread of Life, the food that Jesus Christ offers us and fills us completely.

Alma 9 In Alma's teachings, he highlights principles that, when remembered and acted upon, assist us in the process of repenting. These principles highlight the characteristics of God and bring Him back into our remembrance when exercised. 1) Remember that God can do marvelous works (He is the Supreme Creator and Upholder of All Things) 2) The Lord has a hand in your life (He merciful and full of grace, slow to anger, and abundant in goodness) 3) God will verify His word (God is a God of Truth and Cannot Lie) 4) Beware of your judgments of others (God is merciful and is Love)   This week is registration for my online course, "Confidently Creating."

Alma 8-14   Before we can begin to understand the significant events that Alma experienced in the land of Ammonihah, we must first begin to understand the people of the city.   Join me for a four day course on Confidently Creating.

Alma 8   Continuing on in his missionary efforts, Alma travels to the land of Ammonihah. He is rejected, spit upon, and cast out of the city. Being weighed down with much tribulation, Alma leaves to travel on, but an angel of the Lord stopped him and told Alma he has cause to rejoice.   When we are weighed down with much tribulation, we too can find cause to rejoice. Discover the pattern of how to rejoice in this episode.   If you are interested in signing up for my Confidently Creating Course beginnning March 22nd, go to https://sisterscriptorians.com/registration-for-confidently-creating-training/

Alma 7   Alma's experience with the people of Gideon was completely different than his experience with those in Zarahemla. He knew they believed, desired to repent, and had faith in the word of God. He saw their diligence and how they heeded the words he taught them. These were a people who were disciples of Jesus Christ and were in need of the tenderness the gospel provides. And that is what Alma taught them. He spoke of the Savior and how intimately the Savior knows His children, because he suffered for their infirmities so he would know exactly how to succor them and blot out their transgressions. Such truths about our Redeemer gives me hope of better things to come, courage to give up my fears, confidence that Jesus has my back when I walk in straight paths, and that His love can be perfectly provided for me in any given circumstance.

Alma 5&6 - Part 4   How did Alma know that Jesus Christ was real, that repentance was worth it, that it was possible for his heart to be changed, and that he would be accepted by Jesus Christ with open arms? He knew through the same process that we all engage in to know truth - through the spirit of revelation.   One more day is left for you to register for the Confidently Creating training that begins on Monday, February 22nd at 10:30 (MST).

Alma 5 - Part 3   Alma gives the members of the church in Zarahemla a reminder of who the good shepherd is, what He requires of us, but what He is willing to serve us with. His invitation is to all, but will you accept it?   This week is open registration for my Confidently Creating training beginning on Monday, February 22nd.

Alma 5 - Part 2 Have you received His image in your countenance? What does that mean? Alma, in his address to the members of the church in Zarahemla asks them if they've been stripped of pride, of envy, and malice towards their brethren. He asks if they can - right now - sing the song of redeeming love. Can you? Stripping ourselves of pride can be daunting, but Sister Scriptorians Coaching can be helpful in the process.
