#14. Tabernacles

Now that the Children of Israel have escaped Egypt, their minds turn to the business of survival. Manna and quail, water from the ground, and battles with neighboring tribes all demand attention. For Moses, however, it's time to climb the mountain and receive instructions from God.

#13. Decalogue & Friends

When Moses and the Children of Israel are finally permitted to leave Egypt, they strike out along an unusual route—after some plunder, of course. This week on the Third Hour Podcast, we discuss the history of the Passover, the parting of the Reed Sea, and, most importantly, how we react when we encounter a God we don't recognize in scripture.

#12. Passed Over

Now when Israel was in Egypt land, oppressed so hard they could not stand, so the Lord said, "Go down, Moses, way down Egypt land, tell old Pharaoh to let my people go." You know the rest. But have you considered some of the story's peculiarities? Join the Third Hour Podcast as we discuss hardened hearts, poetic structure, whether God harms the innocent to prove something to the guilty, and the necessity of liberation.

#9. Any Dream Will Do

Poor Joseph. Poor, poor Joseph. Sold into slavery in Egypt, tempted by Potiphar's wife (really?), and thrown into a dungeon. Meanwhile, Pharaoh has dreams and Judah reneges on his responsibilities to Tamar. How will these stories resolve? Find out right here on the Third Hour Podcast.

Today on the Third Hour Podcast, we discuss Abraham's debate with God over the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah, the particularities of the "sin of Sodom," the fulfillment of God's promise to Abraham, and that promise's uncomfortable fallout. What a week!

#5. Abraham

Welcome to the Third Hour, a Latter-Day Saint home study podcast!This year we're doing a deep dive into the New Testament. Some of our talking points will be familiar. Other ideas may sound new. That's okay! Together, we'll learn something about the New Testament no matter what our starting level.Every week, we'll let you know which verses we're studying. If you miss some reading, we'll recap what's going on. And don't worry about spoilers; this stuff is two thousand years old.

I love the deep study of scriptures!  This has been so amazing to hear all the different point of views. I don’t have friends that like to talk about the scriptures so in depth, so it fills that desire! 

Thanks for sharing!

Incredible!

This podcast is so helpful to me in my personal study. It helps me get into the right mindset and thinking about the lessons before I dive in with my family. 
One suggestion: it is hard to know which podcast corresponds to which week. Could you maybe ad it to the weekly podcast details? I know you give the scripture references at the beginning but Sometimes lit takes a bit of work to figure out what you are discussing.

So helpful for personal study and understanding
