Mosiah 11-17 Part 1 • Dr. Ryan Sharp • May 13-19 • Come Follow Me
What do you do with prophets? Dr. Ryan Sharp teaches the parallels between Abinadi and modern-day prophets, who teach, warn, and encourage us to increase our ability to receive revelation, follow God's commands, and follow Jesus Christ and invites us to consider how we receive the words of prophets.

Makes my daily walk a therapy session
I cannot walk without pulling up John and Hank’s podcast to accompany me. When I get home about 45 min later, my body feels great and my spirit feels nourished and I’ve filled my cup, ready to take on the challenges of the day with a Christlike approach. Thank you, John and Hank!
I learn soooooo much every time
This is my go-to Come Follow Me podcast. The expert guests share powerful insights that really make the scriptures personal. John and Hank ask terrific questions and bring their own wisdom to the podcast. It’s long, and I don’t have time for 2 hours every week, but even a chunk of each lesson inspires and uplifts.
Rebecca Nibley
I love love love this show! It is my very favorite podcast! Hank and John do a brilliant job of bringing on the best and the brightest of whatever religion, whether they are a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, another church, or just a brilliant scholar of religion. It gives me a little personal thrill when they quote my father, Hugh NIBLEY, because he is my hero and the smartest man I ever knew.But every show is excellent and every guest brings something unique to the table. Keep up the good work. What a blessing that Steve Sorenson, who we lost and to whom we owe so much, lived to make sure this podcast existed. Extraordinary!❤️
