Getting into the scriptures. Having difficult conversations. The Liahona, what was it? Have we imagined the wrong compass? Having a fixed point. Building faith in each other. A type of Christ riding on the waters.

[00:00:15] Speaker A: Welcome to the weekly Deep Dive podcast on the add on education network. The podcast where we take a look at the weekly come follow me discussions and try to add a little insight. Insight. Insight and unique perspective. Your host, Jason Lloyd, here in the studio with our friend and this show’s producer, Nathaniel Pyfer.
[00:00:34] Speaker B: It’s actually Kenneth. Nathaniel Pyfer. The first.
[00:00:36] Speaker A: The first.
[00:00:37] Speaker B: I threw that on there.
[00:00:39] Speaker A: Okay. I thought the Kenneth has been going.
[00:00:42] Speaker B: Yeah, the Kenneth has been going on for a while. We’ve got my grandpa, dad, and my eldest son. We’re all Kenneth’s.
[00:00:48] Speaker A: Is it full, Nathaniel, or. Yeah. Nice.
[00:00:51] Speaker B: I-E-L baby.
[00:00:52] Speaker A: Very nice.
[00:00:54] Speaker B: Nobody calls me that.
[00:00:57] Speaker A: Nobody used to call you that, dude.
[00:00:59] Speaker B: Not tonight.
[00:01:03] Speaker A: It’s on the air now. What can I do? You know, emails are coming in.
[00:01:06] Speaker B: Yeah, right. Emails. Dear Nathaniel, the idea, if that is the way to actually spur emails coming in, then sure, whatever.
[00:01:17] Speaker A: How are you doing, Nate?
[00:01:18] Speaker B: Living the dream, dog. What’s up?
[00:01:20] Speaker A: I’m excited. It’s a little hard. We’ve got first Nephi 16 through 22. It’s 20 pages, I think, of the book of Mormon, and it’s 20 pages of introduction to Leo and bows, breaking and trying to get food and building boats and crossing the sea, and just a lot happening.
I don’t know. It’s how it is. Come follow me. In fact, we were talking about. Come follow me.
[00:01:47] Speaker B: Yeah.
Again, if you’ll allow us chase, in five minutes. I know we have a lot to talk about tonight.
[00:01:54] Speaker A: Five minutes. No. Yeah. By all means. I think this is important to the discussion.
[00:01:59] Speaker B: I was on the app formerly known as Twitter, and there was a poll put up by somebody that I follow that she posts really great thought provoking stuff about the church stuff and just trying to understand things better. And basically the premise of her question was, has come follow me. Helped you find deeper connection with the scriptures or hurt you out of convenience. And I think the poll ended up, like, 90% hurt or something. I don’t remember the exact number, so I don’t want to say a definitive thing. Needless to say, it was an overwhelming majority of people saying that it was not helping have them have deeper connections with it. And it totally just kind of got my brain asking the question, why? And also being kind of at least proud of everybody for being honest enough with themselves.
But I think through the comments, at least a lot of the general feedback was, again, I hate saying things definitively because I don’t remember the specifics, but the comments that I read at least, were very much like the convenience of this, the book tells you which questions you should be asking. And it says, hey, in this chapter, here’s the overview and here’s some good things to be learning from this section. Right. It almost makes it so convenient, but doesn’t really get into the teeth of the scriptures. Right.
I guess a lot of the comments, at least that I read and that remember more or less were, it’s so nice and convenient that it’s really easy to bring the family in and they’re like, hey, here’s what we’re reading this week. But the come follow me gives us a really great outline of how we can kind of go through this. And you’re like, oh, th...
