Today on the podcast David Patrick joins me as we have a discussion about the John Taylor Revelation #11 also known as the 1886 revelation. We start our conversation by David giving us a little background on how he came to be a Mormon Fundamentalist. From there we move into examining the life of John Taylor, as we discus Taylor’s background, his role in early Mormon history, and the significance of the revelation on plural marriage. We covered Taylor’s early ministry, his experiences in Nauvoo and Carthage, his near-fatal wounds during the martyrdom, and his leadership during the Utah period. David shared details from historical sources aboutTaylor’s character, his publishing and debating efforts, and his steadfast defense of plural marriage. They discussed the context and content of the 1886 revelation, its validation by the LDS Church, and its implications for understanding the “new and everlasting covenant.” The conversation alsoincluded personal stories about faith, family, and the challenges of living the fullness of the gospel, as well as reflections on youth, heritage, and the importance of personal revelation.

On this episode Josh Winchell joins me as we discuss Joseph Smith's Revelation #56, which compares Joseph to theprophet Ezekiel. Josh brings the historical context of Ezekiel's prophecies from 585 BC and discussed how Joseph Smith's revelation from 1842 mirrored Ezekiel's warnings to ancient Egypt. The conversation included background information about John D. Lee, who recorded Joseph's revelation, and compared the prophetic roles of both Daniel and Ezekiel in their respective time periods. We then move into what this means for us as Mormons and potential last days scenarios. We wrap it all up by talking about the need to stand where God plants you and to not rush in getting prepared and explain why we as disciples of Christ should not fear His return.

On this episode I sit down and have a conversation with Hyrum Blackmore, we start our conversation by talking aboutthe Blackmores family history and how they found their way into Mormon Fundamentalism, the evolution of their community in Canada, and the community's split from the FLDS under Warren Jeffs. We then discussed the challenges and changes that occurred during and after the split, including the impact on families and leadership structures. The conversation then shifts to marriage, covering topics such as arranged marriages, courting, agency, and the importance of understanding patriarchal order and temple covenants. Hyrum and I explore scriptural perspectives on marriage, the role of parents and leadership, and the balance between guidance and personal agency in marital decisions. They also touched on the importance of joy, hard work, and covenant-keeping in marriage, drawing from personal experiences and historical figures like John Taylor and Joseph Smith. This episode concludes with reflections on the significance of covenants, temple theology, and the ongoing journey of understanding and living gospel principles.
