In this episode Byran and Kerry discuss Byran's article, which explores the impact that Lehi's Dream/Nephi's Vision can have on families. In particular they discuss the difficulty Lehi has as he sees some of his children choose not to join him at the tree. Yet Lehi stays at the tree. Kerry and Byran discuss the ramifications of this for families, and what it may look like in real life. They talk about how this is an important and tender issue for so many. They also discuss the need to experience joy at the tree, even when not everyone is there. This is important both for the people at the tree, but also for those who are not.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to the Scriptures A Real podcast. |
| 0:09.2 | This is the podcast where we talk about elements of the scriptures that have helped them become more real to us because we believe we can draw more power out of them and apply to them to our lives better when they're real to us. |
| 0:19.4 | And we need all the help we can get. I'm |
| 0:21.5 | your host, Kerry Mulestein, and I'm so happy to have with us today, my friend and colleague here |
| 0:26.3 | in religious education at BYU. This is Byron Korth. Welcome, Byron. Well, thank you. |
| 0:32.8 | So for this episode, I want to talk to you about something I've been working really hard on on our |
| 0:37.0 | new website, the Enlightened Edge EDU website website where we're trying to have just edifying |
| 0:41.7 | experiential or edifying educational experiences and someone suggested this to me we kind of created a |
| 0:47.6 | little board for this and someone on the board suggested I do this so I'm going to see if I can do it |
| 0:52.2 | it will take a lot of time and and I may not be able to keep it up or be as consistent as I am right now. But I'm trying to have |
| 0:58.6 | a kind of a scriptural thought or a spiritual thought each day to help you. And it will come |
| 1:05.3 | largely, not always, sometimes other things may seem important to me, but largely following |
| 1:09.8 | along with the come follow me. |
| 1:11.0 | Sometimes it will, I'm hoping often it will include some scripture study skills so that we |
| 1:16.0 | can build up some of those scripture study skills. And it's going to be sometimes diving in a |
| 1:22.9 | little bit deeper or spiritual thought. I hope that each day you can have just a two to five minute thought |
| 1:28.9 | that can boost you and can give you things to study with your families, I can give you things |
| 1:35.8 | to study in gospel doctrine, or just ways of getting more out of your book of Mormon study. |
| 1:41.0 | So that's at Enlightened Edge EDU. I'll give you the long website address, |
| 1:45.0 | and then we found an easier way for you to reach this. So you can go to patreon.com slash enlighten edge EDU. That's kind of long and harder. We'll put the link in the show notes, but you can also, we've created a website that will redirect you. So you can do it Tsar. That's T-S-A-R, that stands for the Scriptures are real. |
