| 0:06.8 | relevance and application of the scriptures in Come Follow Me. We also dive into |
| 0:11.0 | the history and cultures of the text. |

| 0:20.0 | Welcome to talking scripture. I'm Bryce and I'm Mike and today we're going to |
| 0:26.9 | tackle the second half of Alma's letters to his three sons. In our previous |
