The Third Hour Podcast

The trickster is tricked! Jacob meets Rachel, marries Leah (and then Rachel), wrestles with a stranger, and returns home. If only his troubles ended there.

With Abraham's uncertain relationships behind us, the Third Hour Podcast dives into some of the most pronounced contrasts in the entire Book of Genesis: the vibrant Rebecca, the absent Isaac, and their quarreling children Esau and Jacob.

Today on the Third Hour Podcast, we discuss Abraham's debate with God over the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, the particularities of the "sin of Sodom," the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, and that promise's uncomfortable fallout. What a week!

The Era of the Patriarchs opens with an obscure but skilled herdsman named Abram, who will in time become many things: warlord, father to nations, recipient of God's covenant. Or is that covenants, plural? Today on the Third Hour Podcast, we investigate Abram's identity, the nature of God's favor, an influential supporting character named Melchizedek, and the uncomfortable sexual politics that will come to dominate the lives of Sarai and Hagar and their descendants.

Join the Third Hour Podcast as we read about a series of unfortunate events that beset early humankind: the murder of Abel by Cain, a great flood, and the collapse of the tower of Babel.

Did you know Genesis opens with two contrasting accounts of creation? It's true! Today on the Third Hour Podcast, we examine the second account, including its parallels to the Epic of Gilgamesh.

As we begin the third season of the Third Hour Podcast, we discuss the first of two creation accounts in Genesis — and what we hope to accomplish through our study of the Hebrew Bible.

The Third Hour Podcast is taking a break! We might be back next year. Until then, thank you for joining us in our investigation of the New Testament and Book of Mormon.

At long last, we've reached the end of the Book of Mormon. Join us as we discuss testimony, doubt, action, and Moroni's promise.

As Mormon and Moroni exchange high counselor talks, the Third Hour Podcast discusses bitter fountains, charity, and child baptism.
