Part 1 of a 2-part verse-by-verse study of Ether 1-5, which recounts the departure of the Jaredites from the Tower of Babel and the theophany of the Brother of Jared. Part 1 covers Ether 1-2 and focuses on lessons from Babel, the meaning of "Jared," the Promised Land, forgetting to pray, and why God sometimes makes life harder rather than easier. Join Jared Halverson for your weekly Come Follow Me study of the Book of Mormon!
