Meridian Magazine--Come Follow Me Latter-day Saint Podcast

Meridian Magazine’s Come Follow Me podcast is a long-form Latter-day Saint scripture-study companion with a steady, devotional intelligence. It moves by questions. A passage is introduced, a familiar story is placed back in front of the listener, and then the conversation asks what may have been missed in the rush of knowing it too well. Joseph sold into Egypt becomes more than family betrayal and dramatic reversal. His suffering, silence, temptation, false accusation, and eventual power are read as a pattern pointing toward Christ. Exodus receives the same kind of attention. Pharaoh, the plagues, the Red Sea, Horeb, Sinai, and the covenant people leaving captivity become part of a larger meditation on deliverance, identity, and the Lord remembering promises made long before. The show is openly faith-centered. It assumes scripture matters, that covenant language matters, and that ancient stories can speak directly to modern discipleship. Scott and Maureen Proctor carry the recurring frame, often blending travel memory, devotional reflection, and close textual observation. They are joined in several episodes by guests with recognized Latter-day Saint scholarly or church backgrounds, including Jeffrey M. Bradshaw, Daniel Peterson, and Elder Bruce C. Hafen. Those guests widen the lens without changing the core mood. The result is not a quick lesson-prep checklist. It is a reflective study circle for listeners who want scriptural narrative, Restoration connections, and reassuring doctrinal conclusions to sit in the same room. The show is especially drawn to types and shadows: Joseph as savior to his family, Moses as deliverer, Egypt as holy ground and bondage, and the Atonement as victory over sorrow, fear, sin, and death. It can be repetitive by design. That repetition gives the episodes their pastoral weight, circling back to the same promise until it feels settled. For Latter-day Saint listeners who like Come Follow Me study with historical color, covenant confidence, and careful devotional pacing, it offers a familiar but substantial place to think.
