This chapter delves into the themes of burying weapons of war, Ammon's mission, challenges faced by converts and missionaries, and finding joy in discipleship from Alma 23-29. The episode explores the stories of converts, focuses on the significance of joy in the first half, while the second half discusses missionaries sharing their experiences. Historical assessments, including discussions on weapons of war, are brought up, with Professor Lori Denning displaying arms and armor like a Roman helmet.
Can people change? Professor Lori Denning brings to life the story of the Anti-Nephi-Lehis through understanding the power of poetry, covenant, and conversion to the gospel of Jesus Christ.
