About This Podcast

We will read scriptures and talk about what they say and what they mean. We'll study passages from the Book of Mormon, Old Testament, New Testament, Doctrine and Covenants and other inspired writings. My name is Amber Semerau. I'm almost 50 years old and the mother of 8 children. I love the scriptures and I love learning and I love talking about all the awesome, inspiring and edifying things I learn. I guess I learn most when I know I'll be presenting. I'm excited to learn and share more! I hope we will be edified and inspired together as we discuss the scriptures!!
