Summary
Kerry has been speaking about the new deep dive website: https://www.patreon.com/EnlightenEdgeEDU or TSAR.website
We spoke of the following books and articles:
Learning to Love Isaiah: https://amzn.to/3Ukya4z
Andy’s article: https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?filename=6&article=1042&context=mi&type=additional
In this episode we talked about the journey of Lehi’s family, and lessons we can learn from that. For example, we discuss how we see a difference between Nephi taking charge of his testimony as opposed to Laman and Lemuel, and draw lessons from that. We illustrate some scripture study skills, and discuss Nephi’s powerful testimony and how he draws on the Exodus story to help us learn those lessons. We talk about how covenant is reflected in the story and what it teaches us about God’s love for us, and the special kind of love and relationship available within the covenant and how that relates to our lives now. We speak of likening the scriptures to ourselves and what that really means in Nephi’s context and how that all helps us understand the Isaiah passages in this part of the Book of Mormon, and what those passages teach us of Christ and Joseph Smith as well as ourselves.
We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and for our producer, BJ Muhlestein, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.
