Listen "12: Blessings Predicated on Righteousness"
Episode Synopsis
In this episode Susan does a study on the lives of several of the men who knew the prophet Joseph, to see how their faithfulness over the years affected their blessings. (Susan has studied EVERY person who knew the prophet Joseph.)
Here we talk about Heber C. Kimball, James E. Talmage (who was not contemporary with the prophet), Brigham Young, John Taylor, Orson Hyde, Thomas B. Marsh, Parley P. Pratt, Oliver Cowdery, Martin Harris, John W. Boynton, David Whitmer, William McLellin, William Law, and Almon W. Babbitt.
Some (1) never faltered in their loyalty to the Lord's prophet and His Church. Some (2) did depart for a time, ranging from a matter of weeks to decades, but then returned. Some (3) left and never returned. And finally (4), some left and afterward fought against the Church.
What happened to these men in the ensuing years of their lives? Can we see patterns for how their choices bore consequences? What blessings can be expected to be had, or missed, depending on one's faithfulness? And what can we learn about how to maintain our own testimonies?
Get the answers to these questions and more in this episode. Hope you enjoy!
