Hey everyone! I’m Tom Pettit. I love Church History and I love telling the stories because of the revealed truths, the clarity of God’s love for His children, and the inspiring stories of those early Saints that are so motivating to us today. But I don’t just tell the stories, I show how the stories of the past can help each of us draw closer to the Savior in our everyday lives! I decided to now share stories from Church history with you, and I often tell them from the sites where those stories actually took place. I’ll also share the fun and entertaining stories too. Stories I share come from the Sacred Grove, the Hill Cumorah, Fayette, Martin’s Cove, Nauvoo, the Susquehanna River, the Kirtland Temple, Carthage Jail, Adam-ondi-Ahman, and so many other wonderful and sacred places.

Ether 12-15 Beyond Come Follow Me
The Jaredite civilization comes to an end when they refuse to listen to the prophet, and they turn away from the Lord. Moroni quotes the Savior's perfect promises of how His mercy provides us with hope and faith.

Moroni recounts more Jaredite history with what seems to be one purpose: to plead with us to listen to the living prophet. He gives a stern warning to those that willfully choose to not follow the prophet. Tom Pettit

What can the Brother of Jared's experience in building boats teach us about our relationship with the Savior? So much! His pattern for receiving revelation, and then acting on it, is a perfect plan for us to follow as we navigate towards our own Promised Land.

Mormon passes the plates to his son Moroni. In doing so, he gives us one final message. Mormon will now take the plates and place them so Joseph Smith can one day be led to them. The Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ and was written with us in mind! Tom Pettit

Mormon spent his life preparing the Book of Mormon for us. In these chapters we learn who Mormon was and what he experienced in his life which caused him to be anxious for us to learn from the Nephites. Tom Pettit

The Savior prophecies of the last days. He speaks of the events which will proceed the Second Coming. The gathering of Israel, the Book of Mormon and the New Jerusalem. Of the righteous, he says they will have His power and He will be in their midst.

How can we find the Savior in our lives today? The Savior provides instruction and hope for those who choose to follow him. His promises and comfort which he gave to the the Nephites are still real today.

In 3 Nephi 11, the resurrected Lord appears to many of the Nephites. His introduction teaches us how to more clearly "Hear Him" in our daily lives. And, his initial teachings to the Nephites help us better understand the Saviors love for each of us.

President Ezra Taft Benson once said that “the record of the Nephite history just prior to the Savior’s visit reveals many parallels to our own day as we anticipate the Savior’s second coming”. In this video, I compare with what was happening in the Nephite civilization just before the coming of Christ to what is happening in our day just before the second coming of Christ.

Samuel, the Lamanite, preached to a wicked Nephite nation just prior to the Savior's coming the very same thing that President Nelson is preaching to a wicked world just prior to the Savior's second coming. We have two prophetic witnesses of what we must do to prepare for the coming of the Lord.

Is this ancient book of scripture describing our day, today! I believe it is. The doctrine of how to navigate a wicked world is provided within these few chapters from the Book of Mormon. Tom Pettit

The story of the Stripling Warriors is one of the more well known stories in the Book of Mormon. As we take a look at them, and the other stories told in these chapters, we find how relatable they are to us and to our own personal journey against evil.

It's a great video. Thank you . One of my favorite subjects of the history of the church.
Oops, nvm. I replayed what you had said, and BOOM 💥 THERE IT WAS! The answer to what i was looking for. I guess i wasn't having the "ears to hear" at that particular moment, LOL 😅
First things first I'd like to say thank you for all the hard work you do to bring us these lessons and your insights into these weekly lessons each week. You're my #1 listen. I just have 1 thing i need help with. In this lesson, you asked what was hope. Then you said you "turned to Preach my Gospel ". So I went to the "Preach my Gospel" heading in the Gospel Library app and I tried to find all the things you had shared from there and I could not find where you were and where you found the heading on hope, or the quote from Elder Urchtdorf. Can you please help me understand where this is? Thank you 😊

From Doctrines of the Gospel student manual- D. As spiritual Babylon ripens in iniquity, a great latter-day Zion will be established. *”In the day of regeneration, when all things are made new, there will be three great cities that will be holy. One will be the Jerusalem of old which shall be rebuilt according to the prophecy of Ezekiel. One will be the city of Zion, or of Enoch, which was translated and which will be restored; and the city Zion, or New Jerusalem, which is to be built by the seed of Joseph on this American continent.” (Joseph Fielding Smith, Answers to Gospel Questions, 2:105)
“We say we believe Joseph was a prophet, that he had the priesthood and was called of God to gather the people together and establish Zion. If we believe this, why not let our lives prove that we believe the doctrine we profess?…It is a very dark picture to look upon-a sad affair that we disbelieve our own doctrine.” (Brigham Young, JoD, Vol. 2, Discourse 47, Feb. 10, 1867)
Thank you so much that’s me when it comes to reading the scriptures l am very grateful for podcasts like yours it helps me understand God blessed 😊

Great content, as always! Could you help me with something unrelated: My OKX wallet holds some USDT, and I have the seed phrase. (alarm fetch churn bridge exercise tape speak race clerk couch crater letter). What's the best way to send them to Binance?
Ether chapter 8
Thank you very very much!
Thank you. I have never heard this story before. Exceptional
You are absolutely right regarding the greatness of Emma Smith. It is impossible to know everything she went through. There is no end to the admiration I have for her.
Priceless advise
Thank you for focusing on the scriptures!
Much better than my Sunday school.

You mentioned you weren’t sure where the two stones are today. While I don’t know either, it wouldn’t surprise me the prophet knows or actually may have them. Again that’s just speculation on my part
I love the book. Either . It is plain and simple . Thank you for this lesson.
How can we now NOT be in the days the prophet keeps reiterating "In coming days...." Are we near nuclear war? What does he say...“It is mentally rigorous to strive to look unto Him in every thought. But, when we do, our doubts and fears flee.”
Thank you for great work and how bless we are to learn about are Savior
Love your Church history stories Tom. God bless you and your loved ones
The Jaredite prophet, Mahonri Moriancumer, gave his journals and stones (Urim and Thumin), to one of his sons, a Jaredite prophet; and they were passed down from prophet to prophet until Ether, who then buried them with his book. Nephi retrived them from where the Lord told Ether to hide them; then Nephi put them with the Liahona and the brass plates and his plates, etc. in the temple he built in the land of Nephi. And from there, king Mosiah1, a descendant of Nephi, took them with him and the Nephites that followed him; when the Lord told him to leave the Land of Nephi and guided them to Zarahemla. It's all there, written in the Book of Lehi! Better known as the lost 16 pages.😊❤
Once again amazing. I always feel the spirit when I listen to your teachings.
Thank you so much for your insights brother, I am always uplifted after I listen to your lesson😊
Would you please check your records to see if it is time for me send a check for my subscription?
is this the narror door?
I have been watching your videos for over 4 years. Thank you for your amazing insights. I always feel inspired by your thoughts. Thank you so much!
It just struck me while listening to this, just how much faith it took for Mahonri to set off in those barges with family and friends. The Lord's promise I will bring you up again...can you imagine the moment they launch out to sea? To have complete faith in The Lord to preserve you and your family and friends on the waters? That's actually incredible...and then for him to have seen Christ's finger with the faith He could light the stones. Mahonris faith is just incredible
Is that the brother of Jared's name? Mahonri? And how do you know that?
@katherinebourke171 it was revealed to Joseph Smith.
so great as usual! thanks
Can you imagine having to learn how to spell that name for kindergarten 😂
Thank you for the wonderful lesson today,
Practice for eternity. Be happy Be righteous ✨
I am a Christian exploring LDS and its teachings. Even if I feel that the BOM may be true, I have mixed feelings about the stuff I read in the D&C and find it hard to accept that the Garden of Eden could be here - I dont see how the 4 major rivers in Gen 2:10-14 could have started in the USA more so, seeing that the Euphrates is so far away.. So far my view of D&C is that it is full of opinions and are not revelatory knowledge. I say "so far" because I am still researching.. I do not believe (as yet) that the leaders or the prophets are infallible.
Lots to think about for sure.
The timeline of our day is exactly with Book of Mormon and our days Prophet! Joseph Smith snr is an attentive good Dad. Caring for a tired son. Awake to The Spirit , he believes the unheard of info of a young teenager son. What a beautiful heart our Heavenly Father has to appoint each person at right time ! I'm so glad I'm here now
“Who is more impressed with who?”Wow! I had never thought about that before. I got the chills when you said that.
Thanks Tom! I always listen closely when you teach! 🙂

Oct 27 at Adam Ondi Ahman. My husband walked into woods to pray take pictures when he came to where i was he showed me his pictures he had taken overlooking valley. There was a beam of light from the blue sky shinning down touching the ground he had a couple pictures different angles their was the light
Porter Rockwell is my favorite
Excellent
So very good! Thank you
Thank you for your lessons. I need to hear these things.
Loads of takeaways from listening to you. Thank you! ❤
Highly appreciated!!
Thank you, Brother Petitt for the wonderful gospel lesson. We have so much to look forward to.
Fantastic addition as I just finished reading our section of scripture for this week. I got so much out of watching what you had prepared for us. My eyes were actually opened. I liked how you said contention and miracles can’t happen. I look forward every week to learning from you . Thank you so much.
Thank you for your insight and thought provoking analysis of this lesson. There are several people that I know, even those very elect, who have turned away from the gospel, even denying the witness they've received from the Lord. It is heartwrenching to witness. A Bishop I served as a counselor to left his family and the church for worldly desires.
My week is now complete . I wait each week to hear your teaching . Thank you, brother .
I love the insight shared starting at timestamp 10:10 in this video. I had never considered that perspective. Makes a lot more sense, and it makes me want to be watching even more diligently so as not to miss out or fail to qualify for am invitation to the conference at Adam-ondi-Ahman. This is what the Bible means when it talks about the Lord coming to find his faithful servants diligently at work in his house, rather than slacking off and gossiping, contending, etc. (See Matthew 24:44-47.)
