The Potential for Greatness and for Falling in All of Us: David, Solomon and the Temple with Rabbi Grover and Others

Join us for a live recording event on July 8th in Lehi, where Andrew Skinner and Kerry will answer questions and teach a bit. Be part of the episode and part of the podcast, all for free. You can join via Zoom too. Just email me at TheScripturesAreReal@gmail.com. Also, join us for fantastic content on our Patreon website: https://www.patreon.com/c/EnlightenEdgeEDU . This week on Patreon we will catch you up on the storyline of David and Solomon that we don’t read in the reading schedule, but that you need to know in order to understand what is happening. We go into depth into the saga of Solomon being anointed king instead of his older brother. We also show images and video that helps us picture the magnificent building that Solomon engaged in. In this episode Kerry and Dr. Richard Nietzel Holzapfel explore David’s sin. They look at why it is important to understand, how we cannot blame Bathsheba in any way, how David repented, and what it means for us. Then Kerry and Rabbi Grover explore Solomon as a person and then take an in depth look at the temple he builds and what it means for Jews and for Latter-day Saints.
