In this episode, we cover some of the more profound chapters in the Book of Mormon,

and I do it with Andrew Skinner, who is one of our more profound scholars,

and has such a great way of seeing and understanding that the scholarship and the intellectual elements of the text,

but also a way of seeing the heart of the spirit and the testimony and the power of the text.

And we discuss Christ's atoning sacrifice and the ways that we can take advantage of it and

those things that make us harder for us to take advantage of it in ways that were even surprising

for me and that we're moving for me.

And I still love doing this with Dr. Skinner. I think you're going to love this episode.

Hello and welcome to the scriptures are real. This is the podcast where we talk about elements of

the scriptures that have helped them become more real to us because we believe that helps us draw more power out of them

and we need all the help we can get. I'm your host, Kerry Mulestein, and I'm so happy to have

back with me, my dear friend and one of our most popular guest, Dr. Andrew Skinner, who, if you've

been listening to the podcast for very long, you've

certainly heard me introduce him before. So maybe I'll just say, I won't divulge too much

information. This story just came to me, but a colleague of ours happened to see Dr. Skinner

in an ecclesiastical setting he's in now and uh he was uh talking to

some people and he thought to himself those young people don't have any idea how fortunate they are

to be learning at the feet of of andrew skinner so and i suspect that right. Just a blessing to all of us. So,

and a blessing in my life just as a friend and a mentor and colleague and teacher. So welcome.

Thank you for being with us. Oh, thank you so much, Kerry. And what, what you said is so nice,

about 25% of it is true, but back at you. Same to you, but more of it.

That's probably true of most of what I say, about 25% of it is true.
