Alma 36-42 represents the largest section of a parent teaching children in any of our scriptures. Mark Ogletree and Kerry walk us through the amazing sermons with an eye towards parenting, or grandparenting, or uncle and aunting, etc. They help us see not only the principles he taught, but the way he taught them. They explore the ways different children need different things taught to them in different ways. They help us see the power the Book of Mormon has for families in a time when it is desperately needed.

We are grateful for our sponsors, and for Launchpad Consulting Studios, our producer, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.

1:03.5	This is the podcast where we talk about elements of the scriptures that have made them more

Gary, thank you. Great to be with my colleague down the hall. Yeah, we do share a hall. Our offices are in the same hall. So yeah, we see each other here on Zoom more than in the hallway this summer. But anyway, thank you. You bet. Great to be with you. Well, let me tell the audience just a little bit about you, Mark, and then we'll ask you to tell us more about yourself. But first of all, just say, Mark, is the best guy, always happy, always doing great things.
1:45.0	I think you teach primarily the courses on family, and that would make sense given that,
