The Book of Mormon, Digging Deeper
This Podcast is designed to dig deep and uncover the extraordinary content found within the Book of Mormon. Each episode takes a close look at elements, evidences, facts, and revelations in the book which not only give us a look at ancient Egyptian and Pre-Columbian history and culture, but also point to the incontrovertible fact that the Book of Mormon is a true and authentic history, translated by the gift of God through the efforts of a very young Joseph Smith, presented to the world for the betterment of all human lives.

Section 76 of the Doctrine and Covenants is, to my way of thinking, the beginning of the real differentiation of the doctrines of our church with the rest of the Christian world. True, the claim of a living prophet and modern revelation was intriguing, but the unveiling of the nature of heaven, and the mysteries of God's kingdom was something for which much of the world was unfamiliar with.
Section 76 showed us the mercies of ...
Life is tough...just ask anybody. Most will tell you that life is a constant battle of one challenge after another. But is this the joy that we are all meant for?
Why does opposition seem to always be ever-present with any project or task we undertake. Could it all be part of the plan? If so, how can it lead to joy and happiness? Let's find out together, shall we?
Today we are taking the opportunity to learn about the man who gave us the Book of Mormon. Mormon was the General of the Nephite army for at least 58 years, and much of that time was marked by the frustration of leading a faithless people destined to be destroyed. Mormon though, was a remarkable man and I'm privileged to tell his story. Sadly though, it will have to include the complete and utter destruction of the Nephite civ...
The geography has long been a subject of curiosity for many, and a taboo for others. But the fact is, the Book of Mormon authors felt it was necessary to put in as much detail as they could in order help orient us as to the lands they were speaking about. In the 1800's common knowledge of the world didn't keep up with the Book of Mormon, but modern research and discovery has moved the book into the palm of modern thinkin...
A continuation of my testimony and reasoning for believing that Joseph Smith was truly a Prophet of God.
This podcast is presented so I can tell you why I know Joseph Smith was a true Prophet, and why I know the Book of Mormon is true.
The King Follett discourse or King Follett sermon, as it was prompted by the death of King Follett, a Nauvoo Latter-day Saint—has been hailed by historians both in and out of the Church as a landmark moment in Church history and “one of the truly remarkable sermons ever preached in America.” 1 Excerpts from it frequently appear in Church materials, and it remains popular among Church members, historians, and others researching Chu...
As the church moved to Ohio great changes were in store; but here was where the Church really became a church, as revelations were given and doctrines solidified. This is also where the Law of Consecration was first given, and its precepts are still an integral part of the church today. Though details have changed, the basic idea of serving the needs of the members as a whole, and the needy in particular, has become one of the driv...
The Shakers in North Union Ohio were the only church to have a revelation from Joseph Smith directed specifically at them. This as unique and not repeated again in the Doctrine and Covenants. However, it was a special circumstance, and it provided the Lord the opportunity to clarify and restate the importance of what are today some basic gospel fundamentals.
The balance between the spiritual manifestations found in the old revival tents and true gifts of the Spirit can be a fine line between true and false spirits. this was the problem the early Saints had when the church was just formed. Manay of the Saints in Kirtland were happy to have the 'enthusiastic spiritual exhibitions more commonly found in Pentacostal churches of the day, but this seemed to run against the revelations J...
Believe it or not, a Chinese earthquake had an effect on the early Saints. In this episode we will tell that tale and also read the Lord's own explanation for his comments in Matthew 24 on the Mount of Olivet.
The move to Kirt6lanad marked a fundamental change for the fledgling church. The Lord had promised he would deliver then law of the church once the prophet got to Kirtland and so it was delivered. But st5range doings were going on in Kirtland and thy provided some good opportunities to truly establish the pattern of the Church. these were interesting times.
We focus on section 38 today because of its broad reach across numerous points of doctrine and guidance. The primary message of the importance of being united is manifest throughout and we learn a bit more about the true nature of Christ. We also get to hear a wonderful story about Lucy Mack Smith and the miracle she called down from heaven to help the starving and freezing Saints gathered on the shore of Lake Erie in Buffalo, New...
Once more we come upon Easter next week. Please join me as we engage in this discussion of what should be and is the single most important celebration we fete. it seems all people love Easter but perhaps few of us realize just how pivotal this event we celebrate was. The future of our entire eternal existence hung in the balance and the Savior's sacrifice and resurrection made our continued eternal progression possible.
Throughout the Book of Mormon concerns of the prophets and prophecies of the ultimate fate of the Lamanites was a primary concern. Great promises were made to their descendants. As soon as the Church as organized, the very first missionaries were sent out to preach and teach the various Indian tribes notwithstanding the opposition from other settlers around them. Amazing success and wonderful stories came from those early efforts.

This wide -ranging revelation was given during the time that Joseph Smith was revising or re-translating the Book of Genesis and as such, it shares many common threads.
it deals with the Second Coming, the Millennium, the resurrection and the final judgement, and also the Devil and his hosts. lots of stuff to discuss so I invite you to join me for this episode.
This is a recording of the live presentation I made to the members of the Florene So. Carolina ward on Sunday March 23rd. Accordingly, the recording and audio quality may be somewhat less than perfect, but I invite you all to have a listen.
Important issues remained to be settled as the early Church began its mission. Whether or not Angels could eat earthly food was not one of those issues, but the matter is addressed, nevertheless.
What was an important issue was just who could receive revelation and how was revelation to be handled. This came after confusing and conflicting revelations by Oliver Cowdery and also Hiram Page.
Join me as we see how this was settled.
We discuss the beginnings of serious persecutions and also, a special calling for Emma Smith

Join me as we take a closer look at this interesting section.
