This is Come Follow Me For Us, hybrid, a little bit of old, a little bit of new, because

yeah, I said it, and it was good!

And as always, I'm your host, Melanie Stroud. This is season 5, episode 42. He brews one through

six, Jesus Christ, the author of Eternal Salvation. Okay, I want to start by reading a comment from

iTunes this week. It's said, I love this podcast, I laugh, and I cry with Melanie, so I feel like a

crybaby too. Two. I mean, I know I cry, but I don't know what I've ever called myself a crybaby,

but it reminded me of Gladi with the chance of meatballs. Do you remember when Sam Sparks says

to Flint Lockwood? When I was a kid, I too was a nerd, and he looks over and he's like,

too? I don't know, that just made me laugh. So good, I'm glad we can be partners in crybaby, dumb.

Okay, so I have to say right now that I think there's a miracle happening with Come Follow Me,

and I can't figure it out.

Okay, I'm jumping in here from 2023 to say this next part in leaving in, but it was talking about

how diligent we were in doing Come Follow Me, and I wonder, five years later, if we're still diligent,

I mean, you're listening to this podcast, so there's some diligence, but are we reading it as a

family? Are we trying to do anything else during the week? Because I know we're not.

But I would almost guarantee that these blessings are still available to us if we jump back in and

redouble our efforts. Okay, back to 2019, because I think the blessings that are coming into people's

life from studying Come Follow Me are disproportionate to the time spent studying Come Follow Me.

Like I swear, I swear people are writing me these notes that their whole lives are changing,

and they're coming back to church, and they're switching their whole

focus, and their families are getting stronger, and all of these things are happening because

they've decided to somehow do Come Follow Me. And I've been trying to think like, why is this?
