Hello and welcome to the Scriptures A Real podcast. I'm your host, Kerry Mealstein, and this is the podcast where we talk about elements that have made the scriptures become very real to us because we think

0:21.4

we need all the power we can get out of the scriptures. I'm fortunate that today we're having a

0:26.4

returning guest, my wife Julianne. She did a podcast earlier. I won't give a big introduction or anything.
