Friends having casual conversation about the things of eternity. We welcome you into that conversation.

In his interview, Jacob Hansen never once quotes from or references the Book of Mormon. It’s no wonder—he would have had to confront the clear differences between what the Book of Mormon actually teaches and what the modern LDS Church teaches today.
Rather than relying on the Book of Mormon, he turns to later teachings from Joseph Smith and other church traditions that came after it...
This concludes our series examining whether the Church was restored in 1830. In this final installment, we review additional revelations that did not come to pass, along with various challenges that arose under the leadership of Joseph Smith as prophet.
Our hope throughout this series is that viewers will thoughtfully consider whether the church organization established by Joseph Smith and his assoc...
In our previous episode, we explored the simple, straightforward church that Jesus Christ established in the Book of Mormon, along with its clear and plain doctrine: repent, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, become as a little child, and endure to the end.
Today, we turn our attention to 1830, when Joseph Smith declared himself a prophet, apostle, elder, and the sole spokesman for God. Although he was...
Jesus clearly defined His church in the Book of Mormon: repent, believe in His name, be baptized, receive the Holy Ghost, and endure to the end. The members of the church understood they were taking on them the name of Christ, not joining an "organization"
No talk of a Holy City. No complex organization. No temples. No priesthood hierarchy or offices. No baptism for the dead.
So why did Joseph Smith...
This is the second video in a series where we look at one of the major components of the idea that the Church of Jesus Christ was restored in 1830. Although no where in the history of the canon of scripture do we see someone setting themselves up as the all powerful only spokesman to hear from heaven and to give heaven's words to the people, we will see that this is exactly what Joseph Smith&...
In 1830 a most wonderful thing happened. A book of scripture was made available showing us a very plain and straightforward teaching of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. This scripture was translated one time by the gift and power of God. A record of the tribe of Joseph here in the Americas. It speaks throughout of Jesus Christ, our God who would come and take on flesh and blood a...
Jesus stated the greatest commandment was to love God with all your heart, mind, strength.....with absolutely everything you have. How do we do this and what does it look like? What are the results, and what can a person accomplish who is fulfilling this number one great commandment? Has this been the message of the "church"? If not, why would the church ignore the focus of w...
The story of God's working with men in these last days has been taken over by incorrect ideas and teaching. There is one main message. There is one great event that needs to take place in all our lives, in every follower of Christ. We need to be willing to give up all our sins to know Him. What follows changes everything!!!
What gives us purpose and meaning when we wake up in the morning, or when we lay our head down on our pillow at night? Do we feel like we are just going through the motions, hanging out, waiting for something to happen? Perhaps just waiting to die? Or do we have hope? Do we center our minds or meditate on the beautiful promise and blessing the Lord has...
In a recent letter sent to the restoration branches by a group of Elders who belong to a loosely organized body to bring ministry, there was some honest observations made. One being, that we are headed into obscurity. We discuss the probable reasons why this has happened and the prophecies that explain what is ahead for those who repent or do not repent. Whether a person is from from t...
From experience we have found that when discussing the nature of God, people can become fairly heated. Specifically, who is Jesus. It is a debate that has gone on seemingly from the beginning of recorded history. Early church councils convened only several 100 hears after Jesus came to discuss his very nature. When Jesus was called "good master" he stated "why do you call me go...

Discussion on the parables in the last episode and the restoration's focus on Zion rather than deep transformative repentance as taught in the Book of Mormon . Why equality and Zionic conditions will never happen until we truly repent and embrace the gospel of Jesus. The gentiles may still have time to repent and have the Lord be present in power and very deed, or we may have the gospel take...
When we talk about God's justice, it doesn't always seem fair from our human perspective. This may make it hard to exercise faith in Him. We are taught about fairness in this life. We desire things to be "fair". But our human brains are limited. We don't see the bigger picture. At times, God's justice does not seem to align with our idea of fairness. T...
Before the Book of Mormon went to press, John Whitmar copied down the "doctrine of Christ" contained in it. It was this doctrine that was taught at the very beginning. However, after the Book of Mormon was printed it was all but put away. There are no sermons, no records of teachings, classes, expounding on the doctrine and the content contained in the Book of Mormon avai...
One of the most convoluted, complicated, involved teaching in the restoration is teaching about the resurrection and eternal life. Multiple resurrections, multiple eternal resting places, repentance after death, paradise, hell, the prison, celestial glory, telestial glory ......on and on it goes. How many of these teachings have been represented in church study materials such as the "Go...

What does it really mean to accept Jesus? "Have you accepted Jesus into your heart? Have you been saved? Have you accepted Jesus as your Savior?" Some may have been asked these questions. You may have asked them yourself. But what is the real meaning of these phrases? What does it really mean "to accept Jesus as your personal savior"? Th...
The Book of Mormon brings clarity to common christian debates such as: "What does it mean to be saved?". "Once you are saved can you lose your salvation?" "Can you be plucked out of your Father's Hand?" It also brings clarity to misunderstanding in restoration circles due to revelations that came later after the Book of Mormon and muddy the waters, changing the gospel even. In this ep...
Eternal Marriage is one of the leading doctrines of the LDS church. Joseph Smith also touched on this subject. We do not discuss in detail whether Joseph Smith practiced polygamy and eternal marriage or not but rather look at what the scriptures actually say about marriage and it's purpose. Included is a brief history of Jewish or Hebrew marriage traditions and how they relate to...
