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.

Interview with Dr. Andrew Skinner on Moses 1 and Matthew 16
In this episode Kerry Muhlestein interviews Andrew Skinner. Dr. Skinner masterfully discusses lessons learned from Moses 1, Matthew 16 and other passages. His insights are illuminating and edifying. While the content is fantastic, unfortunately there was an audio glitch so that there is a slight echo during much of the program. The content was so fantastic that we decided to not try to redo it, the content is worth the echo. Enjoy!
