| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the scriptures are real podcast. This is the podcast where we talk about things in the scriptures that have made them become real to us because we believe that allows us to gain more power from them. |
| 0:23.8 | And we need all the power we can get flowing from the scriptures and the Holy Ghost. |
| 0:27.5 | I'm your host, Kerry Mielstein, and I'm so excited to have with me today my dear friend and colleague and in a way a mentor, Jeff Chadwick. |
| 0:37.0 | Jeff is someone that was a teacher |
| 0:39.2 | when I was at the Jerusalem Center as a student. And then we've taught there together twice, |
| 0:43.9 | which is unusual. And I feel like I owe much of my understanding of historical geography |
| 0:51.4 | to Jeff, who is I think probably the best historical geography we have in |
| 0:56.9 | the church. If not, he's he's very, very close. He's got to be tied if he's not just the best. |
| 1:01.4 | He's done archaeology in Israel for like 30 years or something. Just, I don't know, we've just |
| 1:07.6 | learned so much from Jeff. And he is in Jerusalem right now. |
| 1:12.9 | If you're looking, if you're on the YouTube instead of on like Apple Podcasts or something, |
| 1:18.5 | you can see the city of Jerusalem over his shoulder. So anyway, welcome, Jeff, and thank you. |
| 1:23.8 | Hey, welcome. Pardon me. Thank you, Carrie. It's good to be here with you this morning in Jerusalem. It's just going on 7.30 here at Jerusalem time on a Sunday morning. And I've elected to do this video on my balcony here at the Jerusalem Center with the old city and the dome of the rock in the background over there. I thought it would be a fun visual, although it may make me look a little dark because the sun isn't up and over the mountain yet. That looks great. But here we are from Jerusalem. So welcome everyone, and it's it's nice to be with you. Yeah, thank you. |
| 2:01.1 | Why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself in your background or whatever you'd |
| 2:03.9 | like to tell us, Jeff. |
| 2:04.6 | And I should say, I know his wonderful wife, whom I adore, but my wife likes even more and |
| 2:11.2 | some of his children, just a wonderful family. |
| 2:14.2 | But anyway, tell us a little bit about yourself. |
| 2:17.0 | Well, as you say, my name's |
| 2:19.3 | Jeff Chavick. I grew up in Ogden, Utah, and graduated from world famous Benloin High School. |
| 2:25.1 | Went to Weaver State, BYU, University of Utah, the Hebrew University of Jerusalem here in Israel, |
| 2:31.8 | did other work around to get the degrees that you need. |
