The Scriptures Are Real Podcast

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.

    S3 E63 Aid in Following the Prophet: Dive into D&C 109

    Don't miss this special episode. Our audience asked for help in studying section 109 like our prophet asked us to, so we gave it to you. Steve Harper, one of the greatest experts ever on the Doctrine and Covenants, helps Kerry explore Section 109, the Kirtland Temple dedicatory prayer. Last conference President Nelson asked us to study section 109, so in this episode we share with you the context, and show how it teaches again and again the power of covenants and how God wants to sanctify and change us. This episode is invigorating and powerful. We are grateful for our generous donors, and for Launchpad Consulting Studio for producing the episode, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.

    S3 E62 Receiving Light out of Darkness with Kent Brown (3 Nephi 8-11)

    Make sure you tune in for the second episode this week. Viewers asked for help with doing what President Nelson asked us to when he said to study Section 109, so we did an episode where we explored that section for you. Kent mentions some articles in this episode. Here is the information for them: Benjamin R. Jordan, “‘Many Great and Notable Cities Were Sunk’: Liquefaction in the Book of Mormon,” BYU Studies 38/3 (1999): 119–22. Benjamin R. Jordan, “Volcanic Destruction in the Book of Mormon: Possible Evidence from Ice Cores,” Journal of Book of Mormon Studies 12/1 (2003): 78–87. Bart J. Kowallis, “In the Thirty and Fourth Year: A Geologist’s View of the Great Destruction in 3 Nephi,” BYU Studies 37/3 (1997–98): 136–90. In this episode Kent Brown and Kerry explore the disaster and darkness that came at Christ's death, and the amazing burst of light that came a year later when Christ appeared to them. They then delve into the incredible things Christ taught them, and they experienced, when He appeared to them. In the way that only Kent Brown can, they explore the relationship between God and His Son, and His Son and His children. We are grateful for our generous donors, and for our producer, Launchpad Consulting Studios, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
