mormontemple

Jewish leaders in UK draw focus to Uighur genocide, immigrants take sanctuary in churches, a new Mormon temple 'opens' in Salt Lake City, COVID denying preacher faces legal consequences, conspiracy theories run rampant in American churches, lawmakers attempt to limit abortion, and we chat about the effect the pandemic has had on faith in America.

This episode is about Joseph Smith and his interactions with the angel Moroni and his first trip to go get the plates.  It also talks about Doctrine and Covenants Section 2 the sealing power that the prophet Elijah returned to the earth.  

These are such miraculous stories and maybe because we've heard them so often we no longer marvel at just how amazing the restoration actually was!  It answered so many questions and filled in so many holes.  We are so lucky to know about it!
