Summary
In this episode Lamar and Kerry explore why the Savior went into the wilderness, what that wilderness may have been like, and the temptations of the Savior and what we can learn from that. They establish connections between what we read about this experience and what President Nelson has been teaching lately, and how that can impact our lives.
We are grateful for our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and for Alexia Muhlestein, who edited the episode, and for Rich Nicholls, who composed and plays the music for the podcast.

| 0:00.0 | Hello and welcome back to the Scriptures Are Real. |
| 0:11.3 | I'm your host today for this episode, Lamar, and this is co-host and regular host, Kerry. |
| 0:18.8 | Hey, how are you, Lamar? |
| 0:20.0 | I'm doing good. It's great to see you again. |
| 0:21.8 | It's a new year. We got a new set of scriptures to go through. Yeah, I'm excited for it. |
| 0:27.0 | Yeah, this is really great. This is a lot of fun. I really did. I had so many great comments |
| 0:32.3 | on the Old Testament. I had more than more than a few people come up and say how much they appreciated the |
| 0:38.7 | podcast and you taking the time to do that and how it had gone from one of their least |
| 0:45.3 | favorite books of scripture to read to one of their more favorite books to read. Just because |
| 0:49.5 | of taking the time to really connect with it, you know, so many times we shoot through the book. |
| 0:55.2 | And the stories and the morals that we get out of is obviously sticks with people. |
| 1:01.4 | But when you can kind of connect to somebody and feel a part of that story |
| 1:07.9 | and feel how that story resonates with you. It made a difference to a lot of |
| 1:12.2 | people. So I really enjoyed taking the time to run through and how to make these scriptures real to us |
| 1:17.1 | and how to how to fit ourselves into that time frame or that frame, time frame into our time frame. |
| 1:21.2 | You know, that's all interesting to me. Yeah. And nothing makes me happier than to hear what you're saying. And I agree. I hope that |
| 1:30.6 | I feel like for at least a lot of people that happen for the Old Testament, and hopefully it happens |
| 1:36.5 | again for the New Testament. I think people have kind of a different starting point with the New |
| 1:40.8 | Testament that's more positive. but hopefully we still can make it |
| 1:44.7 | deeper, richer, more real for everyone. Well, right. And the Old Testament covers thousands of years, |
| 1:50.4 | and then the New Testament covers less than 100 years. And in fact, most of it's probably less than |
| 1:55.2 | 35 years. Yeah. And I mean, for the Gospels, which we spend more than half the year on, we're talking about most of it for like three years. |
