Meghan is joined by Jacob Ryder, host of the By Way of Commandment YouTube podcast, to discuss patterns of ascension in the temple, scripture, and apocryphal texts. Topics include:

- Knowledge of truth as requisite for salvation
- Approaching the temple with open-mindedness
- The meaning of the names ‘Adam’ and ‘Eve’
- The Endowment as our story, not history

Jacob Ryder was born and raised by faithful converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in Phoenix Arizona. He served a full-time mission in Southern California speaking both English and Tongan where he developed a love for teaching the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.

Since his mission he has served in various church callings within the Elder’s Quorum, Young Men’s, and Sunday school. Jacob has a deep love for the Temple, priesthood, the second coming of Christ, and all things Israel. He spends all his free time studying the scriptures and has recently taken up learning Hebrew. Jacob shares his thoughts and testimony with others as the host of the, By Way of Commandment Podcast. Jacob is married to his High School sweetheart and they have 3 energetic children.
