    Brother Day Is the Best
    I had brother day as my seminary teacher last year and he is the best teacher ever. I listened to his podcast over the summer while I didn’t have seminary, and I’ve listened to it ever since because it is the best! Thank you Brother Day! (Brother Dunford is awesome too) Highly recommend this podcast and I wish I still had brother day as my seminary teacher.

    I’ve been listening for years
    Love the weekly show. I started listening back in 2020 and have generally loved the insights you provide. I feel that lately it's become the Bryce show and that the podcast is losing its balance. Speak up Mike! I want to come back with 2 more stars to give!

    Love this
    I have been listening to this weekly spiritual pick me up for over a year. I love the insights and a chance to focus on the Savior in my everyday life.

    Disappointed
    You guys have had some great informative podcasts in the past, but last week I had to shut it off because I could not stand the raised voice, the “people should”, and the descriptions of what people do wrong. Soft gentle invitations would be better than a lecture. I don’t know if I will be brave enough to listen again.

    With Much Appreciation

    Passion for the Word
    Mike and Bryce have a remarkable gift for bringing scripture to life. Their explanations are not only insightful but also thought-provoking, offering fresh perspectives that deepen understanding and application of biblical principles. They approach scripture with clarity and reverence, while still being relatable and practical. What sets them apart is their ability to unpack even the most complex passages, revealing layers of meaning that often go unnoticed. Their teachings encourage self-reflection and inspire action, making God’s word feel relevant in everyday life. Whether you’re new to scripture or have studied it for years, Mike and Bryce have a way of opening your eyes to truths you may have overlooked. Their passion for the Word is evident, and their dedication to helping others grow spiritually is truly inspiring.

    Authority & Power
    Thanks for the clarification and difference between Priesthood authority and Priesthood power. I will use your explanation in future lessons I teach. Great insights.

    Great podcast
    This is a great podcast which has augmented my study of the scriptures and gospel of Jesus Christ. I thoroughly enjoy listening to this podcast each week.

    Tremendous Gospel Resource
    Matt and Bryce offer exceptional insights into the scriptures. Their deep understanding brings profound meaning and often helps break down barriers to comprehension. Their teachings are a valuable supplement to the Come, Follow Me program.

    Fabulous!
    I’ve listened to these guys for years. Great mix of deeper insight and concrete application!

    Talking Scriptures
    I believe the announcer is condemning Jesus Christ. He needs to be removed from the showimmediately

    Answer to prayers!
    This podcast is phenomenal! I will often send it to many of my friends as an episode totally changes my perspective on the gospel! I understand that it isn’t the direct stance of the church and yet I know truth when I hear it. Many times when I am struggling with something, as I listen to the podcast I hear that one thing that helps me through. Other times I learn things that cause an epiphany! Entertaining, enlightening and educational!
  • Sherdix
    Changed my life
    This podcast has changed my life. I can’t thank you guys enough. The pattern for me is- read the scriptures, listen to the podcast. Read them again, listen to the podcast again, read them again, and again and again. How I have obtained greater tenderness for the Savior and all the scriptures through that pattern. Our Father in heaven loves us so!

    Awesome podcasts
    Some miss the mark. To me it seems like you guys consistently hit the mark. Thank you!

    Incredible deep dive into the background and context
    Mike and Bryce do an incredible job of outlining several different ways we could read the texts, as well as make parallels to other texts tying symbols, motifs, and lessons together. The historical contexts, ways of understanding the different potential linguistic interpretations, make this such an enlightening discussion to follow along with. I absolutely love listening to this podcast every Wednesday and add it as a supplement to my personal study
  • Dan, Missouri
    Thank you!
    I have often felt I would have loved to live in the days when the Lord had a “ school of the prophets “…… Dream come true! However, it’s 4:30 in the morning , I’m snuggled in with a blanket, ear pierce, and of course my writing tablet. Thank you brethren! Your last names may not be “Pratt” but I’m sure you go “shoeless” from time to time as did brother Pratt! 😀😀😀
  • HotTamalés
    Love this podcast so much
    Every week is a spiritual feast! So good!
  • Younghorses
    Absolutely the best
    How do they do it?? How do they consistently put out the best content. Every episode I am floored by what they teach me and I’ve been a member all my life. They make the scriptures come alive, they help me apply what I’m learning, and they make scripture study so incredibly interesting!!! Context and application is everything and I get that here. I teach seminary and look forward to every episode with a hunger. Wish I could have had these guys for teachers during my seminary and institute years! A million stars.

    Superb info
    I never miss these episodes. Excellent information, more clarity of the scriptures for me and so enjoyable to listen to Mike and Bryce. Thank you for all you do for us!
  • NMCAL
    Wonderful insights
    New follower of the podcast. Saw Mike Day on YouTube and ended up here. Finished out the New Testament and actually have gone back to listen to Old Testement episodes! I’ve thoroughly enjoyed every episode so far and have gained many new insights. I love how they connect all of the scriptures together and demonstrate how Jesus is at the center of them all.
  • KICHouse
    Love the format
    I like how their podcasts feel as though I was engaged in a one on one conversation, rather than sitting in a classroom. I like the historical perspectives and explanation of ancient culture that adds understanding to the words, analogies and context of the scriptures. I also enjoy the personal stories and testimonies shared. My favorite.
  • Sam_Nelson
    Great content!
    I’m a new listener, but I love the stories and the pictures they paint with their words. Great for any listener!
  • Jenbob2
    Thought provoking
    I find this thought provoking. Sometimes wander too much “in the weeds,” but good. The website associated with the podcast is not great. They talk about the show notes all the time. Sometimes you can get to them, but at others (for example the podcasts of the book of Revelation) the “links” only take you to the YouTube version of the podcast.
  • Whips_515
    Love it

  • Thankfulforawesomepodcasts
    You two are the best!!!
    Mike, I love finding out the cultural context, and what all the elements of the time period, it helps me to understand what’s going on. Then Bryce brings in all the spiritual part, that I feel the spirit on all the stories that are told. I really wish I could have listened to these as I was growing up. Ive listened to the last two years, and just love these podcasts! Please don’t stop, you are both so inspiring to me, and all those I refer to listen to you two! Thank you so much for helping me to learn more in the past two years than my entire life (I’m 63 years old). You really are the best!!!😁
  • wenhair
    Thank you
    I started coming back to church. And I’ve been trying to find uplifting things to listen to. Your fine follow me lessons have been amazing. The lesson on the parables especially of the prodigal son impacted me the most. I appreciate your lessons and hopefully you will continue.
  • Safer76
    Thank you c for teaching us in a simple way!
    I really appreciate the way you both teach me the gospel. I feel I’m becoming an expert ( something I felt I’ve never achieve) about the Bible. You guys explain the passages in a way I’ve never heard before. Thank you!!
  • Yogamomma92
    Great insight without guilt
    Love their insight into the scriptures. There are some that weaponize the scriptures to invoke change. I feel nothing but love and motivation to improve. Truly a gift! Thank you!
  • Ricky bangerter
    I wish I could rate this higher than just 5 stars,
    I was shared this podcast just over a year ago. I have listened to every podcast by these 2 men, and most of them I have listened to multiple times. Mike

    Love the rich insights and application! Amazing things that I have missed in the past reading the scriptures brought forth. Thankful for all the time and work you put into the Podcast. It has been so edifying.
  • Dyray
    Favorite podcast.
    This is my favorite podcast for understanding the Old Testament. It has helped me develop a love and understanding for the prophets of old.
  • Ccv123
    Trickery
    I was looking for a podcast that would read through the scriptures I didn’t read the summary but just looked quickly at the content and started listening as I walked the dog it took only a few minutes to realize it was a Mormon podcast- had to stop and delete off my phone- they should be upfront that his is a Mormon podcast in the title- feel like it was trickery - can’t give zero stars -

    Understanding the scriptures
    Thanks to these two gentlemen, I am finally able to understand the scriptures better than ever. They provide the depth I need and want. The duo working together in their strengths and paring the together makes their podcasts supreme. Thank you!
  • white,S
    Bryce website
    I cannot tell you what a missionary tool this has been for me! My non member friends ask me questions and write their own notes. Also, for my grandchildren who struggle with how to dating. Plus it still applies in years of marriage. It’s all so refreshing to me and everyone I forward it to that takes the time to listen. Thank you SWhite Texas
  • Bob123456799

    Really appreciate and enjoy these podcast allot!
    Thank you both for giving scripture study so much depth! You both provide so much good in-site and perspective to Scriptures. I use your podcasts almost daily to feel the spirit and strengthen my testimony of not only the Book of Mormon but for all the scriptures we study. God bless you both for your efforts.
  • UserMe2984
    So much good information
    In the June 4th episode - I realize eventually you share a parallel story about Star Wars, but before you mention the movie’s name - I was 100% certain you were talking about Harry Potter. Listen again, and see if what you say doesn’t also tell the story of the wizard boy Harry. Thought that was funny.

    Best ‘Come Follow Me’ Podcast!!!
    This podcast is the best Come Follow Me podcast out there. Better than any of the BYU professors I’ve had. There are so many podcasts out there by members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that frequently teach false principles due to honest misunderstandings of the doctrine. These guys have their buckets straight and teach more than just the scriptures, but the history of the scriptures that really enhance them and bring more meaning. They rarely ever miss the mark. Thanks Mike and Bryce!
  • estefrc
    My favorite podcast!
    I hardly ever leave reviews but I have to die this podcast! This is my most favorite podcast! I have learned sooo much because of you guys! It has changed my life! Thank you!
  • kamiemmmmm
