Summary
We invite you to join us for our Palm Sunday march on Sunday, March 24, at 4 pm. It will start on the Lindon View Trailhead of the Murdock Canal Trail (330 N. 780 E, Lindon). We will walk along the trail to the Lindon Temple. Then people will need to walk back to their car.

In this episode Stephen Smoot and Kerry teach about the ways in which Nephi intertwines his writings with Isaiah's. They provide some of the Isaiah context that allows us to get more out of what Nephi was saying. They explore the real meaning of being spoken to out of the dust and what that should mean to us in our day. They flesh out the ways the Bible and the Book of Mormon are designed to work together, according to Nephi's prophecies. They talk about the Gathering of Israel, and the role of the Book of Mormon in that, and the way Nephi uses biblical poetic patterns (like Isaiah) to teach about how universally available God's salvation is. They point out that the Book of Mormon, and especially this part of Nephi's writings, are aimed primarily at the descendants of the Lamanites, and how they and we are all gathered together as we use all of God's writings together.
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.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the scriptures are real. |
| 0:08.7 | 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. |
| 0:15.4 | And we need all the help we can get. |
| 0:17.2 | I'm your host, Carrie Mielstein, and I'm so happy to have with me, my dear friend and colleague, |
| 0:22.2 | Stephen Smoot. You may remember Stephen from earlier when he was on in the Old Testament year. He did |
| 0:31.4 | both part of the Joseph story with me, and then we did Jonah as well. So welcome, Stephen. It's |
| 0:37.2 | wonderful to have you with us. |
| 0:38.9 | Well, thank you, Carrie, for having me back on the show. |
| 0:40.9 | I appreciate the opportunity. |
| 0:43.0 | Just good to have you with us. |
| 0:44.8 | We just want to make you aware of some things we're going to do for the podcast |
| 0:48.2 | to help everyone celebrate Passion Week or Holy Week, |
| 0:51.9 | the way that we were asked to take Easter and that whole week a little more |
| 0:55.8 | seriously and get more out of it last general conference. And so on the 24th, on Palm Sunday, |
| 1:04.0 | we'll have our Easter episode that will combine that. It will be Easter, but also partially with |
| 1:09.0 | Andrew Skinner. I'm going to talk about Palm Sunday. |
| 1:12.6 | And then each day of the Holy Week at Dr. Skinner and I will have sometimes like a long message, |
| 1:17.4 | sometimes a short message, but something about what you can celebrate or commemorate or think |
| 1:23.5 | of during that day for the Holy Week as we lead up to Easter, hopefully making Easter a more |
| 1:29.7 | spiritual and drawing to God kind of occasion than we have in the past. We hope that we can do this. |
| 1:37.3 | We also are going to have our own Palm Sunday walk. You can join us. Our family has been doing |
| 1:43.9 | this for years and it's getting bigger and bigger. You can join us on this Palm Sunday walk. It will be March 24th, 2024. So this, March 24th at 4 p.m. We're going to meet at 3.30 North, 780 East in Linden. That's at the Murdoch Trail. There's a parking lot there. And we're going to do about a 20-minute walk. It's a pretty easy paved trail. And we're going to end at the new Lyndon Temple, kind of reenacting how the Savior did on his trample entry. He ended at the table. So we would invite you to join us there if you'd like to. Then you'll have to figure out if you want to kind of car pull back to your car, walk back to your car, how you'd like to do that. |
