In this joint broadcast Kerry lectures for the a podcast that focuses on relationships (Thriving LDS Singles). He and his hosts, Dr. Kim Cobler and Kay Bayley teach us about how the Old Testament focuses on relationships. They discuss what it can teach us about our relationships with God and how that shapes our lives and brings joy.
