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.

In this episode Matt Godfrey and Kerry discuss how the terrible persecutions in Missouri and how it lead to Zion's Camp. They talk about what the intent really was, how difficult it was to put it together, and how difficult the whole thing was. They explore the shortcomings in putting it together and the shortcomings throughout, and also the inspiring things and the things that changed them and sanctified them. They help us understand what is really going on in this misunderstood episode in church history. We are grateful for our executive producers, M. Rosema, B. Fisher, J. Beardall, D. Anderson, and H.

    Correction! Section 93 was received while Joseph and Emma Smith were living in the Whitney Store, not the Whitney Home. Join us for a one of a kind Book of Abraham Workshop at Castle Park in Lindon or via Zoom. Sept. 11-13. Find details at outofthedust.org. We will really dive into the Book of Abraham and answer your questions. In this section Kerry Muhlestein and Anthony Sweat explore the reception of the amazing revelation we call Section 93. They trace how revelations like Sections 76, 84, and 88 lead to the flood of light about light that is in Section 93. They delve into what it means for Christ to receive grace for grace and go from grace to grace. They investigate the repeated teachings about receiving a "fulness" that is taught in this revelation, and how one can become a being that reaches its full capacity. They explore teachings about light and what it means for us. They also look into the interrelationship between this revelation and the writings of John. This helps us understand how light and truth are from and are Christ, and thus how Christ is part of everything around us and part of us and how we can make that even more the case as we become joint heirs. They look at our journey towards holiness and how Christ must be the most important part of our path towards holiness. They show us how Christ is our exemplar in receiving grace, light and a fulness, and how we can become Christlike through Christ and all these things. They discuss how our natures can be transformed and how Christ shows us the way and is the way. We are grateful for our executive producers, M. Rosema, B. Fisher, J. Beardall, D. Anderson, and H.

Dean Garrett, who is an emeritus professor of Church History and Doctrine, a former member of the Mount Timpanogos Temple Presidency, and a former Mission President. Together they explore the historical background of Section 88 along with what it teaches about the Second Comforter and Eternal Life. They explore how this section is both about how to prepare to be holy enough for the temple by holding the School of the Prophets in the Lord's proscribed way -- which leads to holiness -- and how those same instructions should be applied to being in the temple, which will help us become more holy as we go through the temple. They also explore light and truth and the atoning sacrifice of Christ as best understood in a context of holiness and temples. They talk about how temples are necessary to help us get to where God wants us to be. They also look at how consecration is intertwined with temples and how missionary work is as well. They also look at Old Testament connections with the temple. They look at how temples are supposed to be schools of instruction. They look at teachings about solemn assemblies. We are so grateful for all those who support us and make this possible. We are grateful for our executive producers, M. Rosema, B. Fisher, J. Beardall, D. Anderson, and H. Umphlett, and for all our generous and loyal donors. We are also very grateful for all our Patreon members.
