Episode notes

The story of Zeniff in the Book of Mormon holds significance as it paves the way for pivotal events such as the arrival of Abinadi and Alma in the land of Nephi. This narrative sets the stage for the passing down of the plates and records from Alma to Moroni, ultimately changing the world and influencing key figures like Alma the Elder. Despite Zeniff's challenging journey after leaving Zarahemla, his story serves as a crucial link in the chain of events that shape the future of the Nephites and Lamanites.

Dr. Stephan Taeger explores how our stories inform our possibilities through the story of Zeniff leaving Zarahemla and how the Lord creates miracles from our overzealous mistakes.
