The Scriptures Are Real

Kerry Muhlestein

The Scriptures Are Real (TSAR) with Kerry Muhlestein is a podcast where we look at elements of the scriptures that have become real to us. We interview both experts (people with language, archaeological, historical backgrounds, etc.), and lay folks, and explore times when the scriptures became real to them. This is done from the viewpoint of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We believe that there is real power in the scriptures and that as they become more real we can better apply them to our lives and draw more power from them. If you listen to this podcast you will learn all kinds of interesting background information that will help you understand and learn more from the scriptures. We believe it will allow you to add real power to your life. My gratitude to my co-host Lamar Newmeyer. Also to my friend Rich Nicholls, who composed the introductory music. read less

They delve into the context of the sermon and how Jacob used Isaiah in the sermon and how it addressed what was happening in their lives at the time, and how Christ and Covenant were the answer. They speak of Jacob's exploration of his people's covenant relationship with God, and what that has to do with us. They also explore how the theme of not being cast off from God and that covenant relationship with Him is much of the theme of 2 Nephi. They speak of the infinite power of Christ's atoning sacrifice and what that has to do with the Nephite need at the time and our need in our day. They show how Jacob teaches about how to take advantage of Christ's atoning sacrifice and what makes it difficult for us to do so. They also look at the joy that is available for those who do take advantage of Christ's atoning sacrifice and of God's redeeming desires.We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and our producer, BJ Muhlestein, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
