“These Words Shall be in Thine Heart”–Deut. 6-8; 15; 18; 29-30; 34 May 08, 2026

Show notes

Special guest Ketty Muhlestein shares how Deuteronomy is Moses summarizing the covenant and the process that Israel has gotten through to be a covenant people and what the covenant is and what they need to do about it. This is really important for them. But it’s equally important for us as a covenant people, who are trying to embark on building a Zion society.

You Can Have What You Want or Something Better– Numbers 11- 14, 20-24, 27 May 01, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we study Numbers 11–14, 20–24, and 27 and explore one of the most exciting discoveries in Israel: the Priestly Blessing from Numbers 6:24–26. Unearthed in 1979 in the Valley of Hinnom, this 2,800-year-old silver scroll is the oldest known scriptural text, preserving the words we know so well—“The Lord bless thee and keep thee…”—and connecting us to history in a tangible, unforgettable way. Plus, we’re joined by special guest John Hilton III to dive deeper into this sacred treasure.

All Things Point us to the Savior’s Atonement–Exodus 35-40; Leviticus 1; 4; 16; 19 Apr 24, 2026

Show notes

In a world that is steadily growing darker and more tumultuous. The Lord’s voice speaks to the tumult and says in Leviticus chapter 19 verse two, “Ye shall be holy, for I the Lord your God am holy.” That’s quite a commandment for his Children in a fallen world. But we know that the Lord knows how to do His work and he wants His people to be holy.

“What is Required to See the Face of God?—Exodus 10-20, 24, 31-34 Apr 20, 2026

Show notes

Welcome to Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast. We're thrilled to be with you again this week as we discuss Exodus chapters 19 -20, 24, and 31-34, a very important and wonderful part of the Old Testament. This week, we welcome another special guest that we think you'll be very excited to have join us. Kerry Muhlestein is one of our favorites, because we love his books so much. He's written many, but we have favorites. We love, Let God Prevail, which is all about the covenant in the Old Testament and, of course, his prolific work on the Book of Abraham. He is an Egyptologist, a professor at BYU, but most of all, we are impressed with his passion to make what people consider the hard things of the Old Testament easier.

When We are Up against a Red Sea—Exodus 14-18 Apr 10, 2026

Show notes

Welcome. We're Scot and Maurine Proctor, and this is Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast, where today we'll study Exodus chapters 14 through 18 at the miraculous moment in the history of the children of Israel, where the Lord parts the Red Sea, and they pass through on dry ground in an ultimate triumph for the Lord over Egypt. Now, we have with us today Jeffrey M. Bradshaw. He has a PhD in cognitive science, but is particularly known by Latter-day Saints for his detailed commentaries on the Old Testament, the Pearl of Great Price, and temple themes in scriptures.

How the Plagues Defied the False Gods of Egypt–Exodus 7-13 Apr 06, 2026

Show notes

In this episode, we'll be studying Exodus chapter 7 through 13. Some material that you'll find very familiar to you. This is, of course, the intriguing story of the children of Israel coming out of captivity because God spared His people, and the type that became for all of the covenant people to this very day.

We See How the Lord Works in Joseph of Egypt’s Life–Genesis 42-50 Apr 05, 2026

Show notes

When Joseph became vizier of Egypt, second only to Pharoah and wearing his ring of authority, he also got a new name that doesn’t exactly roll off our English-speaking tongues. It is Zaphnath-paaneah and what it lacks in clarity, it more than makes up in its meaning which is “savior of the world.” Yes, his starving family will come from Canaan, hoping to buy the corn that Joseph has stored in Egypt, but his name signifies even more than that.

Joseph: The Story You Know Well and May Have Never Seen–Genesis 37- 41 Apr 05, 2026

Show notes

Children can tell the story of Joseph being sold into Egypt. We know it well, with nasty brothers, slave dealers, false accusations, pits of despair and drama galore. What’s most important about this story, however, may not be obvious, and that’s what we are talking about in this episode.

“God Sent His Son into the World Not to Condemn the World” featuring Elder Bruce C. Hafen Mar 27, 2026

Show notes

We remember well those

events and carry their magnificent hope with us. One night Scot and I were trying to photograph an olive tree on the Mount of Olives, not far from Gethsemane, to represent the Savior in the garden. It was dark and gradually a hush and then silence fell over our world where we worked alone. Because it was dark, these photographs took several minutes, and we worked alone on that mount for nearly three hours, hoping to capture a stunning photograph. We remembered how Elder Jeffrey R. Holland had described the Savior’s atonement. “We celebrate the gift of victory over ever fall we have ever experienced, every sorrow we have ever known, every discouragement we have ever had, every fear we have ever faced—to say nothing of our resurrection from death and forgiveness for our sins.”

God Remembers His Covenant to a Thousand Generations - Exodus 1-6 Mar 24, 2026

Show notes

Daniel C. Peterson, retired professor of Islamic Studies and founder and editor-in-chief of the Interpreter Foundation, and producer of the film Witnesses, joins Scot and Maurine to explore Moses’s profound encounter with the burning bush and the charge he was given to confront Pharoah with the message to “Let my people go.”
