Keys for Unlocking the Whole Old Testament (Lesson 1: Introduction to the Old Testament)

Welcome to a powerful introduction to the Old Testament as you may have never experienced it before. Taylor Halverson and Mike Harris guide you through God’s ancient record as a story of love, covenant, and belonging. They challenge the idea of a harsh Old Testament God and reveal instead a consistent, covenantal God whose love never changes.

In this episode, you will learn how to recognize Jesus Christ (Jehovah) throughout the Old Testament, why covenants are the foundation of God’s relationship with His children, and how both the Bible and Book of Mormon work together to clarify doctrine and deepen spiritual understanding. Taylor shares the meaningful connection between “religion” and “ligament”, showing that God’s purpose is to re-bind us to Him through covenant belonging.

You will also hear tender reminders of God’s compassion, such as Hagar calling Him “the God who sees”. These stories illustrate that God’s love reaches every person, including the overlooked and the hurting.

This episode is an invitation to slow down, ask better questions, and discover the beauty of God’s original love story. The Old Testament is not distant history. It is a living witness of God’s desire for connection, loyalty, and eternal belonging with His children.
