In this episode, we delve into Alma chapter 32, where Alma and his fellow missionaries embark on a vigorous mission to preach the gospel among the Zoramites. Despite their challenges, they find success among the poor who are eager to listen. Alma discovers the humble hearts of the poor and teaches them that they can worship God anywhere, not just in synagogues.

Alma shares a powerful parable about faith, comparing it to planting a seed that can grow into a tree bearing fruit. He emphasizes the importance of nurturing faith with diligence and patience. Alma's teachings highlight that true faith does not rely on signs but on hope for things unseen.

The episode also explores Amulek's testimony, who joins Alma in teaching the Zoramites about the coming of Christ and the significance of the atonement. Amulek explains that the atonement is based on mercy, not justice, and calls the people to repent and seek God's mercy.

Through Alma and Amulek's teachings, we learn about the necessity of faith, repentance, and the powerful impact of the atonement. This episode provides profound insights into the principles of faith and the eternal plan of salvation.

The 16th year of the reign of the judges marks a significant period of peace after a devastating war, as the Nephites and the children of Ammon recover and honor the law of Moses. However, this tranquility is shattered in the 17th year by the emergence of Korihor, an eloquent Antichrist who preaches against the coming of Christ and the teachings of the prophets.

Korihor's persuasive rhetoric leads many Nephites astray, but he faces resistance from the people of Ammon and the high priests in various lands. Ultimately, he is brought before Alma, who challenges Korihor's beliefs and, after a dramatic confrontation, strikes him dumb. Korihor confesses his deceit, revealing that he was influenced by the devil.

As Korihor wanders, begging for food, his story serves as a cautionary tale, emphasizing that Satan abandons his followers in times of need. Meanwhile, Alma and his missionary companions prepare to counter the growing apostasy among the Zoramites, showcasing the enduring battle between faith and falsehood in the land of Zarahemla.

In this episode, we delve into the remarkable transformation of the Lamanites under the decree of their king, who declared protection for the missionaries. This decree allowed Ammon, Aaron, and their brethren to preach freely across the land, leading to the extensive conversion of thousands. The Lamanites, once fierce adversaries of the Nephites, embraced the teachings of the gospel and laid down their weapons of war.

We explore the profound impact of this decree, the establishment of churches, and the consecration of priests and teachers throughout the land. The converted Lamanites, now called Anti-Nephi-Lehies, became industrious and friendly with the Nephites, forging new bonds and opening correspondence with them. The episode highlights the astonishing success of the missionaries and the unwavering faith of the converted Lamanites, who chose to suffer death rather than commit sin.

As tensions rose, the unconverted Lamanites, stirred up by apostate Nephites, rebelled against their king and waged war against the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. Despite the violence, the faith and love of the converted Lamanites shone through, leading to further conversions even in the face of persecution.

Join us as we recount this extraordinary period of faith, transformation, and the ultimate triumph of the gospel among the Lamanites, culminating in their migration to the land of Jershon and the establishment of a new, righteous community.
