This podcast presents a "deep dive" survey of the weekly scriptural chapters that are assigned by the Come, Follow Me curriculum of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. After opening with an introduction and flyover summary, each episode contains a verse-by-verse reading -- pausing for in-depth commentary from reliable sources.
SUGGESTIONS:
- Follow along with your scriptures (when you can).
