Send us a textThis Week we discuss the beginnings of Joseph Smith’s History as he recorded in the year 1838 after years of relentless persecution, attacks on his character, and repeated attempts to prove him a false or fallen prophet.   We discuss the background of the Smith’s moving to Palmyra and the “Great Awakening” that was in full swing.  Remember that America was founded as a free land, and that included religious liberty.  Joseph, as a young boy, took heavy interest in his salvation but was unable to make a decision as to which religious sect to join.  He made the point that preachers of all faiths could interpret the same pasages of scripture so differently that it was almost impossible to come to a certain conclusion of who was right.  He made the decision to pray to God vocally.  As a result, he had a miraculous vision, “The First Vision” as we have come to know it.  Interestingly enough, we discuss why it’s called the first vision and how in reality, it really isn’t the first vision, but probably the greatest vision to ever take place.  And we know that it is the First Vision of the Restoration.  Finally, where is your “Sacred Grove”?  The place where Joseph had his miraculous vision is called the sacred grove.  We can all have a sacred grove.  How does it become sacred?  It depends on how we treat that place, how we reverence that place, and do we invite Deity?You may have felt like Joseph Smith as well at times, not knowing who was telling the truth or what even was truth.  You can know for yourself, just as Joseph did, what God wants you to know.  Our very own Kenny, shares his experience of how he went through a “searching” period in his life.  Listen to his experience and be inspired.  Support the showThanks for listening!
