63 Episode – Out of Darkness
Why would Mormon switch part way through telling us a story from the viewpoint of the Nephites to the viewpoint of the Lamanites? It’s because all of us are the “the Lamanites” sometimes.

54 Episode – Peace Does Not Mean Easy
I think we sometimes confuse peace with ease or comfort. Because something is hard or uncomfortable we decide to leave it behind. “It’s not for me.” That’s not what the Savior meant when He said, “My peace I give unto you” (John 14:27).
