“Feast upon This Fruit” with Laura C. Bridgewater (September 25, 2026)
In this Wonder of Scripture lecture, Laura Bridgewater reflects on Alma’s metaphor of planting and nourishing the word of God. Drawing on Alma 32 and the tree-of-life vision, she explores why spiritual growth takes time, how patience is part of the experiment, and how quiet answers to prayer reveal God’s love.
