Hello and welcome to the scriptures a real podcast. This is the podcast where we talk about things in the scriptures that have become real to us because we believe that helps us apply them more to our lives and we need all the power we can get out of the scriptures.

I'm your host, Kerry Mielstein, and I'm so happy to have with me tonight, one of my former students from Jerusalem,

I think, if I remember, you were even like the head of my travel committee or something like that
