All right, Brian.

So we're going to start.

This is Brian Hale's author of Joseph Smith's polygamy by Greg Coford Books, kind of part

four in a discussion about polygamy.

This is going to be a quick one.

It needs to be done in about 25 minutes or less.

And what we're going to try and do is just summarize.

And Brian, what I want to do is put away the history as a tool sort of to defend a

case.

And what I want to add, you know, it's so it's not like we're not going to be able to

bring any history in, but it's not the point of this last discussion.

I want you to bring in your emotion.

I want to bring in your spirit spiritual side.

And I'm not saying that those were absent before, but what I now want to do is just

have sort of a heart to heart summary of how you view polygamy from a faithful perspective.

And all guide it by just asking some questions, but let's just try and do a back and forth.

Does that make sense?
