Now on to the podcast.

Hey everybody, this is Aubrey Chavez from Faith Matters. Today we want to introduce you to another

podcast in the Faith Matters podcast Network called Sanctuary, Discovering

the Temple, hosted by Larkin Swain. Larkin brings a candid, curious, and thoughtful approach

to conversations about the temple. And this episode was so fascinating and felt especially

timely as we begin a new year studying the Old Testament. In this episode, Larkin speaks with

historical linguist Jared Lambert, whose work

focuses on language development, temple theology, and how translation and symbolism have shaped

biblical traditions. Jared brings a linguistic lens to the Genesis creation story, uncovering

rich meanings that have evolved over time and even been lost in translation. His perspectives are both mind expanding and

spiritually moving. He re-examines the portrayal of God in Genesis, unpacks the symbolism of the

temple endowment, and offers what feels like a powerful missing piece in our traditional telling

of Adam and Eve's story. We hope that this conversation sparks fresh insights and deep

reflection as you revisit these foundational stories. And with that, here sparks fresh insights and deep reflection as you revisit

these foundational stories. And with that, here's Lark and Swain with Jared Lambert.

Jared, welcome to Sanctuary. Thanks so much for coming down here and taking the time to have

this conversation. Super stoked for it. I know you have a lot prepared and I'm really,

really excited to dive in.
