Mormon Fair-cast

Nephi Waited All Day by Autumn Dickson The chapters this week are full of some intense events that all occurred within a very short span of history.

Foretold Promises by Autumn Dickson In the chapters for this week, we find Samuel the Lamanite. His title, “the Lamanite,” is actually very telling for this particular passage in The Book of Mormon.

And yet, we’ve […] The post Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Helaman 13-16 – Autumn Dickson appeared first on FAIR.

Healed by the Savior by Autumn Dickson The theme of remembrance is abundant in the chapters we’ve been reading lately, and that does not cease for this week.

Treasure in Heaven by Autumn Dickson Helaman had two sons whom he named Nephi and Lehi after their forefathers.

To Support and Suffer by Autumn Dickson One of the most well-known stories in The Book of Mormon is that of the stripling warriors. Though their story is replete with inspiring stories and principles, I want to actually discuss their fathers, namely the Lamanites converts who changed their name to the Anti-Nephi-Lehies. These Anti-Nephi-Lehies came to […] The post Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Alma 53–63 – Autumn Dickson appeared first on FAIR.

What You Choose to See by Autumn Dickson We have arrived at the war chapters.

Perspectives on Corianton by Autumn Dickson In the chapters we’ve been reading lately, Alma is counseling with his sons.

Diligence is Underrated by Autumn Dickson There was a period in my life where my stress levels grew to problematic levels that were consuming me. I was experiencing some postpartum depression, and that was combined with responsibilities that threatened to drown me. I was tired all of the time.

Nourish Belief by Autumn Dickson This week, we find the well-known sermon taught by Alma about planting a seed of faith and nourishing the tree.

Hearts of the Zoramites by Autumn Dickson In the chapters for this week, we read an interesting account about some Nephite dissenters known as Zoramites.

Once a week, on the “day […] The post Come, Follow Me with FAIR – Alma 30–31 – Autumn Dickson appeared first on FAIR.

He Relentlessly Pursues Us by Autumn Dickson In chapters 24 and 25 of Alma, we read about the details of a war between the Lamanites, Nephites, and the people of Anti-Nephi-Lehi.

The Power of Women by Autumn Dickson Just as a heads up, I will be speaking about Ammon this week, but it takes a bit for me to segue into it so stay with me.

Foreordained by Autumn Dickson As we begin the chapters for this week, we find Alma preaching to the people regarding a variety of topics.
