July 1-7: Alma 17-22

Topics: 1) Missionary time away from normal life; 2) Taking a break for geography; and 3) Abish.

In this episode of "Things I Wish I Could Say in Sunday School," we delve into the Sons of Mosiah and their 14-year mission among the Lamanites, examining the emotional toll and community impact of such extended absences.

We also take a critical look at the unusual inclusion of a geography lesson in Alma 22, questioning its placement and considering alternative perspectives on the text's authorship.

Finally, we explore the intriguing character of Abish, one of the few named women in the Book of Mormon, and discuss the concept of "passing" within the church community. This episode aims to spark honest and thought-provoking discussions about faith, community, and personal beliefs.

Join us as we navigate these complex topics and challenge the norms of traditional Sunday School teachings.
