Hello everyone. Welcome to another episode of Follow Him. My name's Hank Smith. I'm your host. I'm here with my proper and perfect co-host John by the way. John that comes from Alma 40 verse 23 you are proper and perfect. Well oh attitude ain't bad right and we're here with our guest, Dr. Adam Miller. John, we're taking on the second half of Alma speaking to his sons. We had Heleman and Chiblon last lesson with Dr. Welch and now with Dr. Miller

we're taking on 39 through 42. What comes to your mind when you think of these chapters?

Alma wants to talk to a son about his behavior, but that only gets a few verses in Alma 39,

and the rest of 39, 40, 41, 42, is this wonderful doctrine.

It's validation for that idea of President Packer

that a study of the doctrines of the gospel will change behavior quicker than a study of the Gospel will change behavior quicker than a study of behavior.

We've all heard that one before.

I love these awesome doctrines that help him give a framework for everything else that's going on and for his behavior.

So I'm looking forward to looking at that today.

Yeah, when I think of these chapters, there's no better place, honestly, I can think of in scripture where you walk through the plan of

salvation and your role in it.

John, like I said, we have Dr Miller with us.

He's been with us in the past.

Adam, what are we going to do today?

What are you looking forward to?

It's great to be back with you.

And now I'm a Chapter 39 to 42, as you know, Alma writes a really tender, pointed letter

to his wayward son, Correantin, and he spends a lot of time talking about the work of

restoration which is key to the plan of happiness he models that work of

restoration on the resurrection and then I think kind of step by step

fashion he transforms his son's understanding of justice punishment, and repentance.

Yeah, that's a great way, a great way to put it.
