Miracles and a World of Sacred Matter: The Questions We Should Be Asking, with Melissa Faith Jensen and Sam Petersen
Rosalynde Welch sits down with graduating student researchers Melissa Jensen and Sam Petersen to explore how faith and scholarship come together at the Maxwell Institute. Melissa shares insights from her work on the Book of Mormon, offering a fresh perspective on miracles as divine help to accomplish God’s purposes. Sam reflects on Joseph Smith’s teachings about sacred matter, suggesting that the material world is not separate from the divine but filled with it. Together, their conversations highlight what it means to pursue “disciple scholarship”—a life of learning that deepens faith, invites better questions, and draws us closer to God.

MIPodcast #179: Time (Themes in the Doctrine and Covenants) Featuring Philip L. Barlow
Today I have a terrific interview with my colleague Philip A. Barlow on his new book Time, just out from the Maxwell Institute. Phil is a senior fellow and my colleague here at the Maxwell Institute.
You’ll notice his kindness and humor during the interview, and you’ll also notice his wisdom and creativity. Phil is a legendary teacher: he taught for many years at Hanover College, and then served for more than a decade as the Leonard J. Arrington Chair of Mormon History & Culture at Utah State University. He’s the author of an important book, Mormons and the Bible, and lots of other notable publications. He’s currently working on a fascinating study of the war in heaven.
