Thank you for this podcast. It starts my week of study off. Monday morning walk preps me for what I’m going to read and study for the rest of the week. Love the historical background each week. As a genealogical researcher I know how important the history, culture and geography or setting is to the events that are taking place. Thanks for educating us on those things. Please 🙏 keep up this amazing podcast. K.Rose

A great podcast that enriches my scripture study.

I’m so thankful for Kerry’s work, here and elsewhere. I listen regularly to several scripture podcasts and this is consistently one of my favorites. Thank you for making it. I hope you have some sense of the butterfly effect of your efforts.

Love this podcast! It has helped me to see the scriptures in different ways and help relate them to my own life. Grateful that Kerry and his guests often remind me to use this podcast as a supplement and not the only source of my scripture study.

This is a tremendous resource, well researched and delivered. I find the consistent anchoring in the covenant and depth of scriptural references especially insightful and faith promoting.

I love how the spirit can testify as we absorb what Dr. Muhlestein and his guests share! I’m motivated to teach, share and lift those around me after listening. Truly a gift to learn from the greatest in such an easy format. I’m so excited for your new projects!

This podcast is simple yet impactful. Thank you, Dr. Muhlestein for you and your wife’s sacrifice to make this happen. Godbless!

This wonderful podcast sets the stage for my scripture study each week. Thank you for all your effort in making it available.

Thanks Kerry for all of your work. With President Nelson’s focus on the Everlasting Covenant and after reading your book “God Will Prevail,” scripture has come alive for me. I see how God is the same in the Old Testament, New Testament, Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, and the words of modern prophets. His promises to us are incredible and he wants me to be a part of his work. This has changed me. I can’t thank you enough.

So good this episode thank you

Season 2 episode 79 of “The Scriptures are Real” was incredible. Rabbi Joe Charnes shared beautifully moving insight about Colossians. It makes me want to go hear him speak about other scriptures to hear what he has to say. Very profound, and truly, I was touched. Thank you, #thescripturesarereal for the uplifting listen!

So many great insights. Such a strength for my faith and knowledge. Thank you!

Great podcast.

After hearing Kerry Muhlstein on the Follow Him podcast, I got his book God Will Prevail, which was paradigm shifting and has changed the way I understand the scriptures and my relationship to God and my Savior. I found out about this podcast and started at the beginning and thoroughly enjoy it. It helps me see the continuity in the gospel from pre-earth life to the coming return of Christ. He has helped me see the mercy and love in the Old Testament. So grateful for the time and energy he has put into the creation of his podcast and books. I also highly recommend his recent commentary on Isaiah. His insights have made it interesting, understandable and I’ve better recognized its great value in times.

I’m glad to share a glowing review of the “Come, Follow Me” podcast featuring scriptural insights from a prominent archaeologist and BYU Professor of Religious Education, Dr. Kerry Muhlestein. This podcast has truly been a revelation for LDS members seeking a deeper understanding of their faith. The inclusion of a leading archaeologist and BYU Professor of Religious Education is what sets this podcast apart. Their expertise adds a unique and invaluable dimension to the discussion of scriptures. The insights they provide are both scholarly and spiritually enriching. It’s a testament to the dedication and knowledge these experts bring to the table. The podcast’s commitment to the “Come, Follow Me” curriculum is commendable. It ensures that listeners are in sync with the weekly study topics, making it a fantastic companion for personal and family scripture study. The way the hosts engage with the curriculum is inspiring, making the scriptures come to life in new and profound ways. Moreover, the production quality of the podcast is top-notch. Clear audio, engaging discussions, and the warmth of the hosts’ voices create an inviting atmosphere for learning and discussion. You truly feel like you’re part of a thoughtful, faith-promoting conversation with each episode. In a world where information is abundant, this podcast offers a trustworthy and faith-affirming resource for those seeking to deepen their understanding of LDS scriptures. It’s a beacon of light, a source of knowledge, and a catalyst for spiritual growth. I highly recommend it to any Latter-day Saint looking to enhance their “Come, Follow Me” experience.

I really appreciate how this podcast likens the scriptures to us. I also enjoy and learn from hearing more than one episode per week.

This is the first podcast I listen to when beginning my study of Come Follow Me. Excellent thoughtful intriguing insights and information. Thank you Kerry!

Great content!! Audio quality is lacking, guest speakers, at times, sound is very soft compared to host.

The content is likely really good & Kerry is easy to hear but the other person is a bad audio and not understandable.

Thank you so much for this podcast! I’ve been learning a lot. I just listened to the one with Brother Skinner about the atonement of Jesus Christ and it helped me see insights I hadn’t thought about before. I want to listen to it again and take notes. Many thanks!

This is my first go to for CFM lessons because of the insights I learn that can help me apply the scriptures to my life. Kerry is very knowledgeable about the scriptures. I look forward to hearing from him and his guests each week. A terrific supplement to each week’s lessons

I love this podcast. It is a wonderful blend of scholarship and personal experience that is very approachable for everyone.

My favorite podcast for learning. Thank you so much Dr. Muhlstein! Some of your guests have had a radical impact on my thinking. I wouldn’t mind at all if Kim Matheson was a regular guest. Her insights on prayer and also Elijah had a profound impact on me. Your insights and books have given me a clear understanding of covenants and hesed, which helps me understand - and love - Isaiah. Thank you!

Dr. Robert Ritner Radio Free Mormon interview is a must listen.

Thank you! I know these are not easy to produce but I find great benefits from them. I have learned more about the old testament this year than all of my time in seminary and institute combined. I love the “short-casts.” Thank you, thank you.

I agree with every word of the review by WenPrest who articulated how I feel about this great podcast perfectly!

This is absolutely my favorite podcast, and I listen to a lot of podcasts. Kerry is a fantastic teacher and helps me understand the scriptures in ways I never could without him. He has such great guests with powerful insights. I am edified each week as I listen and study. He is really magnifying the gifts God has given him but sharing all of this with the world, so each of us can come closer to God through the scriptures. His deep voice is so pleasant to hear, and he can communicate in a very powerful way. I could never say enough good things about this podcast. Thank you, Kerry!

Thank you for taking time to do these podcasts. They are very helpful. By the way, our ward just sings hymns for the whole sacrament meeting once or twice a year. Members pick the hymns and then explain why they would like this hymn. It actually is a very spiritual meeting.

It is always wonderful to hear from you and the awesome knowledge about the scriptures. Thank you for sharing.

These have been amazing supplemental studies for the Come Follow Me. I really appreciate all your time and work you put into this. Thank you so much!!!

Love listening every week! Keep it up 😃

Thank you so much for sharing your insights as well as how we can apply the teachings of the Old Testament to our life today. Listening to the podcast helps me ponder how I can be a better disciple of Christ.

Thank you Kerry for taking the time to share your insights. I never miss an episode! I love studying and teaching the Old Testament and your podcast has helped me understand and apply gospel principles to my life. Thank you!!

Great Episode with Julianne! Please have her as a guest host again. Loved her insights and stories. So down-to~earth and relatable.

Such an excellent podcast. I have learned so much. The scriptures have come alive to me. I love his perspectives.

I had been listening to some other scripture podcasts, but when a friend told me that Brother Muhlestein had his own podcast, I felt like I had been missing out on pure gold! I literally can’t listen to anything else now; The Scriptures are Real is too good. He is so knowledgeable and combines his knowledge with the Spirit to teach and inspire. My “free time” is now full. Thanks for making such a great resource!

This podcast is a great supplement to gospel study. It has helped me internalize gospel lessons taught to ancient people, and has made it easier to identify what to teach to my family. Thank you!

Dr. Muhlestein and other presenters provide meaningful insights based on real scholarship and experience while also emphasizing how those insights contribute to real-world application of scriptural teachings. This podcast is a gem.

I am really enjoying this podcast! It helps me better understand the context and importance of the Old Testament. Thanks for creating this and sharing your knowledge with us!

Thank you and we love your insights and we love listening. Thank you for sharing with us the things you have learned in your studies and research - they really help us a lot to understand and learn from the Old Testament. We are loving the Old Testament!

I like a little more background into the different scriptures. I understand that I can study all my life and it won’t make a difference if I understand the culture of the Egyptians unless the message sinks in. Dr. Muhlestein brings out the background, context, and then the meaning and relevance so the message can sink deep and cause reflection and hopefully action.

I have added your podcast to my weekly list and I am so grateful for all of the time you spend to create this for your listeners! I have learned so much and have started to think of the scriptures differently— I look constantly for Christ in the Old Testament— and this is a skill I haven’t had before I started listening. Thank you so much!

I have loved all the insight presented and have come to love these Old Testament stories I have heard for decades and now see them in new ways. Thank you for such faith building episodes.

I have been obsessed with podcasts these past few years and this is my new favorite. I have never written a review but I want to because this podcast is amazing. I’ve learned so much and have been taught by the Spirit. I cannot wait for future episodes.

Good information shared, but the audio quality is pretty bad. I was just trying to listen to the episode on the renaming of Jacob to Israel and it sounds like Lamar is calling in from Mars and Dr M is all crackly-sounding. Also Dr M has a tendency to interrupt his guests while they are speaking. I know he has a ton of knowledge, but it’s just rude.

I had the opportunity a decade ago to take several classes from Dr. Muhlestein, and his teaching style is both clear and informative. He distills decades of intense study and knowledge about Egyptology and the Old Testament into bite-sized pieces that resonate well with any who lack a similar academic background. This podcast takes on the same characteristics as his classes, but makes them accessible to all - they’re clear, precise, and they leave you wanting more. If you’ve ever struggled feeling God’s love through the archaic lexicon of the Old Testament, then give this show a try. Supplementing your study with additional knowledge will give you the power to understand both details and verses that might otherwise be overlooked in personal study. I can think of no better place to start than here.

I have been discouraged of late listening to my Come Follow Me podcasts. I loved the Doctrine and Covenants podcasts because of the added insights the Joseph Smith Papers gives to our understanding of that scripture book but now we moved into the Old Testament, I really needed to find someone who could do that for me in the Old Testament. And today I found it. Well done.

Hands down my favorite “Come Follow Me” podcast. My son is currently at BYU—I told him if he gets to take a class with Professor Muhlestein, I’ll be jealous enough to require repentance! The only consolation for my having paid for classes he gets to take is this podcast, for which I gratefully acknowledge the time it takes to keep things on the up and up in my family relationships! Thanks guys!

I have listened to several of Kerry’s podcasts so far. Love his insights knowing that he has expertise with Egyptian and ancient writing and he has a great way of illustrating his points on how God works with His children. I love the music too and Lavar also does a good job as well!! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and helping us love all of the scriptures!

Listening to this podcast is like listening to an old friend who has years of experience talk about something he loves and knows about. His humble and cheery personality is evident even in his deep explanation of topics that are so broad and complex. His love for the scriptures and for the people around him is clear throughout this. The hardest part of reading the Old Testament is maintaining a common thread across the different stories and understanding the symbolism. Kerry expounds on the story and explains the reasoning extremely well and is able to keep you engaged in content. I’m looking forward to these stories this year!
