In the final chapters of the Book of Mormon, Moroni crafts a subtle yet profound testament that mirrors one of the most fundamental patterns in sacred literature: the motif of fall and return centered in temple worship. It is no wonder Moroni, who wrote this great cap to the Book of Mormon, would play such a significant role in reintroducing mankind to the presence of God in the restoration today. Hope you enjoy!

[00:00:16] 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 discussion and try to add a little insight and unique perspective. I am your host, Jason Lloyd, here in a studio with our friend and this show’s producer, Nate Pyfer.
[00:00:35] Speaker B: Hello.
[00:00:36] Speaker A: Hello.
[00:00:37] Speaker B: How are you, buddy?
[00:00:38] Speaker A: Dude, it’s good to be back. It’s good to be recording again. It’s good to be talking about the scriptures.
I’m excited.
[00:00:46] Speaker B: Okay, Okay.
[00:00:49] Speaker A: I like it.
I like the book of Moroni. I have a new appreciation for Moroni after this week, and I’m actually excited to get into that.
[00:00:58] Speaker B: Oh, okay. I’m excited to hear.
[00:01:00] Speaker C: I’m excited to hear what you got.
[00:01:02] Speaker A: Yeah. And. And I’m. And I’m sorry.
I thought. I thought things would be, like, a little bit quieter here at the house, a little calmer.
[00:01:11] Speaker B: Dude, listen, man, if. If we’ve learned nothing from this podcast. This podcast is about family, dude.
Nobody. Nobody listening. Nobody listening is going to be upset that you have happy kids running around in the background doing their thing.
[00:01:26] Speaker A: Hopefully they’re happy.
[00:01:28] Speaker B: They sound happy. They don’t sound like they’re fighting. Let’s just put it like that.
[00:01:32] Speaker A: Yeah, well, I do have kids, so for. For you at home listening that.
Welcome to the show.
Hello from my kids.
[00:01:43] Speaker B: It’s part of our lives, dude. It is what it is, man.
[00:01:46] Speaker A: Hopefully they don’t make a loud appearance tonight.
[00:01:48] Speaker B: All right, well, let’s do it. Let’s get into this.
[00:01:51] Speaker A: All right, so this is. This is going to be another merge episode where we’re taking. When blending the Moroni. So there’s two lessons, right? We. Last week, we. We didn’t quite get together to. To record. This week we. We’re pulling it in and we’re going to blend. So it’s Moroni. It’s going to be one through nine. And it’s interesting. They did this. They left Moroni chapter 10 as a single lesson to be handled in its single week by its own, and they combined the other nine chapters together. No, that’s not true. I’m combining the other nine chapters together. They. They broke it down a little bit different. I believe it was 1 through 6 and then 7 through 9, and we’re. We’re gonna just blend them together. And it’s not bad that they blended one through six, because you look at chapter one and super short four verses, Moroni saying, you know, I thought I’d be dead, but I’m not, so I guess I better write some More not dead yet.
Man, that’s a. That’s a great reference.
[00:02:54] Speaker B: Yeah, it is. And I have already put my marker in.
[00:02:57] Speaker C: Okay.
[00:02:59] Speaker A: I’m getting better.
[00:03:00] Speaker B: I’m getting better.
[00:03:02] Speaker C: I’m getting better.
[00:03:03] Speaker A: No, you’re not.
[00:03:03] Speaker C: You’ll be stone dead in a moment.
[00:03:04] Speaker A: Me too.
For me, is where it starts getting interesting. In chapter two, you talk about the conferral of the priesthood.
And I feel like it’s important to note.
I’m just going to read cha...
