S4 E44 Walking in His Light: Becoming, Christ, and Light with Anthony Sweat (D&C 93)

Sept. 11-13. Find details at outofthedust.org. We will really dive into the Book of Abraham and answer your questions.In this section Kerry Muhlestein and Anthony Sweat explore the reception of the amazing revelation we call Section 93. They trace how revelations like Sections 76, 84, and 88 lead to the flood of light about light that is in Section 93. They delve into what it means for Christ to receive grace for grace and go from grace to grace. They investigate the repeated teachings about receiving a "fulness" that is taught in this revelation, and how one can become a being that reaches its full capacity. They explore teachings about light and what it means for us. They also look into the interrelationship between this revelation and the writings of John. This helps us understand how light and truth are from and are Christ, and thus how Christ is part of everything around us and part of us and how we can make that even more the case as we become joint heirs. They look at our journey towards holiness and how Christ must be the most important part of our path towards holiness. They show us how Christ is our exemplar in receiving grace, light and a fulness, and how we can become Christlike through Christ and all these things. They discuss how our natures can be transformed and how Christ shows us the way and is the way.We are grateful for our executive producers, M. Rosema, B. Fisher, J. Beardall, D. Anderson, and H. Umphlett, and for all our generous and loyal donors. We are also very grateful for all our Patreon members.

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.
