The Scriptures Are Real

by Kerry Muhlestein

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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Kerry once gave me his own plastic spoon when I had dropped mine so I could eat my ice cream. When I was 7 years old, he gave me some papyrus because I liked Egypt. He’s a Christlike person and an incredibly intelligent scholar and teacher. Listen to this podcast it helps you understand the word of God better! “The Scriptures are Real” is a great name for a very well-informed podcast that takes a much more faithful stance than a lot of scholars these days

Christian-Sorensen · Sep 2026

I’ve learned more and understand more about the Bible and the stories from this podcast than ever before. Thank you.
