0:00.0	Hello my friends welcome to a new episode of Follow Him. My name's Hank Smith. I'm your
0:08.1	host. I'm here with my happy co-host. John by the way, John you can't
0:11.9	disagree with that one. You are a happy co-host. I'll take it.
0:15.4	John, the reason I call you happy is because the title of this week's Come Follow Me lesson is
0:20.0	we lived after the manner of happiness. I've heard you reference second
0:25.6	Nephi for multiple times over the last few years. What are you looking forward to
0:29.8	today? This is a time when Nephi has to move and Lehi dies and he laments that and his I mean Nephi calls himself
0:36.7	Wretched which makes me think ooh can I be Wretched like Nephi there's some great things today

1:41.5	is really that stability for him and that helps them live after the manner of happiness.
1:46.1	So I think it's going to be really good.
1:48.8	I love these chapters. Jan is not new to our podcast. She's given us some incredible episodes in the past.
1:55.8	John, but some people might be just joining us, so tell us about Jan.
2:00.3	We're excited to have Dr. Jan J Martin back. She's an associate professor of ancient
