King Benjamin's righteous leadership led his entire kingdom in spiritual rebirth as his people united in covenant with God. These covenants prepared them for a constitutional republic, a greater expansion of the Church, and the reception of the Jaredite gold plates which were translated by Mosiah the seer using the Urim & Thummim.

Is there a parallel among the signs of the times in our day?

Learn the incredible and moving story of the Scottish Covenanters! During the 17th century, national revival swept across Scotland and thousands gathered to make covenants with God. Like King Benjamin's people, these faithful saints were driven by a desire to become like the ancient children of Israel, and political, cultural, and religious reform spread across Scotland.

Sadly, these covenants required a heavy price—as thousands were persecuted, imprisoned, tortured, and even killed for their faith. However, persecution drove these "Covenanters" to America, paving the way for the Restoration of the Gospel.

Discover compelling stories of courage and fortitude as you meet heroes and heroines including Margaret Wilson, James Renwick, James Guthrie, and others!

As we study the parallels between King Benjamin and the Scottish Covenanters, we might ask ourselves: what would happen if a similar movement took place today? History would truly never be the same again!

We've hit an exciting milestone in this series! We're beginning the portion of Mormon's actual abridgment in the Book of Mormon.

Are you ready? Let's start by coming to know this incredible prophet, historian, and king!

Mormon is one of the greatest prophets, kings, and historians to live in the history of our earth. An inspirational hero from his youth, he was trusted with the hidden location of the Nephite record at only 10 years old, was visited by Jesus Christ at 15, and that same year was given command over the entire Nephite army.

Mormon's lineage and name reveal he had a sacred bloodline mission to restore lost Israel from the grave. Will we humbly turn our hearts to this birthright brother and hear his message of hope for his broken brothers and sisters today?

How do we unite the Stick of Joseph/Ephraim with the stick of Judah so the "great army" of Israel can resurrect, as seen by Ezekiel?

How do we make the Book of Mormon message relevant for other tribes, especially Judah?

Why was Mormon commissioned to write the Book of Mormon the way that he did?

What was the Josephite lineage, and why were they set apart to save Israel from captivity?

All of this and more in this week's podcast!
