Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

TTKIM 5 - The Historical Books in the Old Testament
Q: Ross, is Lehi fitting into this historical frame, or should we place his story elsewhere in the biblical timeline?
They discuss how Lehi's story sits within the broader arc of exile and return, with notes that some traditions embed its narrative in the historical backdrop but it belongs more to post-exilic or intertestamental considerations rather than the core OT historical books.
Genesis 5; Moses 6 Part 2 • Dr. Kerry Muhlestein • Jan. 26-Feb. 1 • Come, Follow Me
Q: What thoughts do you have on the idea where he keeps telling to repent?
Guests emphasize the importance of continual turning to God through repentance, highlighting it as a hopeful process rather than a burdensome one.
Genesis 3-4; Moses 4-5 Part 2 • Dr. John Hilton III • Jan. 19-25 • Come, Follow Me
Q: John, can we come back to what you said about expectations in the fall?
It's important to prepare individuals for expectations of difficulty in a fallen world, as those can lead to greater doubt in faith.
Genesis 1-2, Moses 2-3, Abraham 4-5 Part 2 • Dr. Rebekah Call • Jan. 12-18 • Come, Follow Me
Q: Rebekah, can you speak to what you saw the general population says about Eve versus what the Latter-day Saints say about Eve?
The mainstream Christian dialogue historically has seen Eve as lesser, but Latter-day Saints view her differently, even though some subliminal threads still exist.
The Articles of Faith and Official Declarations 1 & 2 • Part 2 • Bro. Thom Reed • Dec. 8-14 • Come Follow Me
Q: What do I do with that uncomfortable feeling of I can see how inspiring this is? What do I do with everything before then?
The Lord wants us to live by the principle of forgiveness, and we can move forward from past issues.
