Welcome to Riff This Vibe! I’m Rick, and each episode, we dive into something deep to uncover personal meaning and spark big ideas. These short episodes are all about exploring, reflecting, and riffing on stories that shape us. So, grab a thought, join the convo, and let’s Riff This Vibe!
Joseph Smith said of the Book of Mormon that it is, "the most correct of any book on earth, and the keystone of our religion, and a man would get nearer to God by abiding by its precepts, than by any other book.” (Intro to the Book of Mormon paragraph 6 (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/introduction?lang=eng&id=p6#p6)). What is a precept and why should I abide by a precept? This is the final episode of season 2 of our study of Law, Government, and Society in the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon is true. Thanks for listening!

2.13 Games, Gamers & Game Changers
Why do we love games so much? Is life a game? What is game theory and what does is have to do with The Book of Mormon? Today's reading is Alma 17:19-34 (https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/scriptures/bofm/alma/17?lang=eng&id=p19-p34#p19), which is the beginning of one of the more famous stories in the Book of Mormon. The story could have turned out much differently if it wasn't for a game changing situation. That same thing is true for all of humanity except for the game changing life and mission of Jesus Christ. Bring your questions and ideas to our discussion.
