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.

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.
