| 0:00.0 | Welcome to One Minute Scripter Study, a Come Follow Me podcast. |
| 0:05.0 | We are your host, Kristen Walker Smith and Kelly Black. |
| 0:09.0 | Hey friends, it's Kristen, and I today am ashamed to admit, but I'm going to admit it. |
| 0:14.0 | I taught the Old Testament in seminary without ever having read the Old Testament. |
| 0:19.0 | Like, I would diligently study the lesson material and the required readings, but I never |
| 0:24.2 | read the entire book until, gosh, over 10 years ago. |
| 0:28.8 | Growing up in the church, I recited Article of Faith 8 so many times. |
| 0:32.8 | We believe the Bible to be the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly, which I interpreted to mean that the Bible isn't very trustworthy and so read the Bible to be the Word of God as far as it is translated correctly, which I interpreted |
| 0:38.5 | to mean that the Bible isn't very trustworthy, and so reading it is optional. But, oh, I was so |
| 0:44.5 | misguided. As I began studying the Old Testament, I gained such an appreciation for it. I started |
| 0:50.2 | to feel the power of reading the same words that Jesus Christ studied and taught while he was on the earth. |
| 0:56.0 | I also thought of Nephi, who risked his life to obtain the brass plates, |
| 1:00.0 | which contained many of the same stories and prophecies and teachings found in the Old Testament. |
| 1:05.0 | The words in the Bible aren't just nice to read if we have time. |
| 1:09.0 | They are life changing. |
| 1:11.1 | If these words inspired noble men, |
| 1:13.6 | like Jesus Christ, Lehii and Nephi, |
| 1:16.4 | we can find power in them too. |
| 1:18.6 | So the takeaway of the day in five rid or less is, |
| 1:21.5 | the Bible is powerful. |
| 1:24.3 | Thanks so much for being here today |
| 1:25.8 | and for coming closer to Christ with me one minute at a time. |
