October 15, 2023 S2 E80 Less Deceived as We Move More and More towards Christ (week of Oct. 16, only episode)
In this episode Kerry and Brent discuss Paul's teachings about loving god and each other. They also talk about how we are to leave behind us the things of the world as we have become begotten as new creatures in Christ. When we turn to the world we become deceived and lose so much. When we remain fast in following our new selves in Christ, we become so much more.

October 08, 2023 S2 E79 Rabbi Joe Charnes on General Conference, and Peace and Grace in Colossians (week of Oct. 9, second to listen to)
In this episode Kerry and Rabbi Joe Charnes discuss what we can learn from an honest study of other faiths from their point of view. Rabbi Charnes also speaks of some of the things he gained from attending General Conference. Then they explore the first two verses of Colossians, especially discussing how we should leave peace, grace, and love with those we meet, and be present for them with genuine love rather than a formulaic love.
A message from Rabbi Charnes: Shalom, friends. In the podcast, I quoted a General Authority’s words speaking of the need for less judgment, and more love. Sadly, I was unable to remember his name. Here is the General Conference quote from Elder Alan T. Phillips that truly would, if followed, transform our world: “We can heed President Nelson’s counsel to judge, less, love more…” Thank you Elder Phillips. Thank you for both hearing and heeding the wise words of wisdom from President Nelson’s heart. I wish you grace and peace.
