In this episode Byran and Kerry discuss Byran's article, which explores the impact that Lehi's Dream/Nephi's Vision can have on families. In particular they discuss the difficulty Lehi has as he sees some of his children choose not to join him at the tree. Yet Lehi stays at the tree. Kerry and Byran discuss the ramifications of this for families, and what it may look like in real life. They talk about how this is an important and tender issue for so many. They also discuss the need to experience joy at the tree, even when not everyone is there. This is important both for the people at the tree, but also for those who are not.

S3 E8 Byran Korth on Helping Families by Staying Joyfully at the Tree (week of Jan. 22, 2nd episode)

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.
