In this joint podcast/broadcast with SPARC, Kerry explores the elements of the story of Ruth that point towards Christ and covenant and redemption. Just a few little background elements help us see so much more in this story and it becomes so much more powerful.If you are interested in learning more about SPARC, go to sparcproject.orgWe are grateful to our sponsor, Lisa Spice, and to Rich Nicholls, who composed and played the music for the podcast.

Samuel's Leadership (week of June 13, first to listen to)

The Scriptures Are Real (TSAR) with Kerry Muhlestein is a podcast where we look at elements of the scriptures that have become real to us. We interview both experts (people with language, archaeological, historical backgrounds, etc.), and lay folks, and explore times when the scriptures became real to them. This is done from the viewpoint of members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We believe that there is real power in the scriptures and that as they become more real we can better apply them to our lives and draw more power from them. 
If you listen to this podcast you will learn all kinds of interesting background information that will help you understand and learn more from the scriptures. We believe it will allow you to add real power to your life.
My gratitude to my co-host Lamar Newmeyer. Also to my friend Rich Nicholls, who composed the introductory music.
