In this episode Kerry and Tyler Griffin discuss the events of the Last Supper. The delve into Christ's teaching about His unity with God and the Holy Ghost and what that means for us our our potential unity.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome to another special edition of the Scriptures Are Real |
| 0:13.1 | where we're trying to help you during your Holy Week celebrations and worship. |
| 0:18.1 | And I'm so glad to have with me today, a master teacher, a fantastic friend and |
| 0:23.7 | colleague and the associate dean of religious education, or one of the associate deans. |
| 0:28.6 | This is Dr. Tyler Griffin. Thanks. Thanks for being with us. |
| 0:32.6 | It's a pleasure to be with you, Carrie. |
| 0:35.9 | Well, I'm grateful you'd make the time. I know how busy you are, but this is one of the |

| 1:49.7 | spare a thought for him every day of the year, but especially this week. And I would say |
| 1:56.7 | especially this particular day and the Friday. |
| 2:06.8 | These are the two critical pivot points that lead us to Easter Sunday. |
| 2:11.7 | Yeah, really everything in our existence hinges on these two days. |
| 2:13.6 | Absolutely. |
| 2:21.1 | So in the spirit of what could an individual or a family or any group of any kind do to help breathe more life into these stories and help them come off of the page a little bit |
