October 01, 2023 Ephesians, Christ Creating a Non-Worldly Us, and Love - an Overview (week of Oct. 2, first episode)
In this shortcast Kerry gives an overview of the Epistle to the Ephesians. He covers the historical background and why that has an impact on how we understand the letter. He touches on how the world influences us, how Paul says we can combat that, and on unity. He also explores what Paul teaches about praise, how unity is not just about each other, but how Christ unifies us with God. He explores how Christ creates us anew and thus helps us leave the world and the way we have been behind, and what it has to do with covenants. He also explores how Christ's condescension allows for our ascension. He also touches on Paul's teachings on marriage and how we understand those in light of modern revelation.

About The Scriptures Are Real

From the publisher's feed

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.
