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.

    We have fantastic extra content for you that you will love on our Patreon Website / enlightenedgeedu . Please join us there so that you can participate in our in-depth lessons. This week we will address questions many people have about the creation and show how it all focuses on God and His Son. In this week’s episode Kerry discusses Enoch’s preaching, anlife in the time of Enoch, the giants in the land, and other things about Enoch’s sermon. He and others discuss why the Book of Moses has so much more about Christ in it than the Old Testament, and how we should benefit from that. Kerry helps define Zion and what those definitions have to do with us. Then he and Phillip Allred explore Enoch’s experience in building Zion and what that means for us and how we should be becoming a Zion person, people and Church today. Kerry then delves into what we can learn about the nature of God and His Son through Enoch’s experience with Jehovah, and how that helps us understand what God is doing for us.
