So here's a question.

In the midst of all the challenges, trials, privations, and difficulties

the Saints experience in Missouri, how is it that when the church really needed the leadership

of the Prophet Joseph, God allowed him to be put in an obscure and remote jail, ironically

called Liberty? Why would God do that? This is the kingdom of God

on the earth. Isn't the God of the universe watching out for his chosen prophet? Let's explore

that question today. Hello, dear listeners, and welcome to Meridian Magazine's Come Follow Me podcast.

This is Scott and Maureen Proctor, and we are so happy to be with you again.

We're going to be talking about Liberty Jail today, and it's a place we go every year,

so we know the things that happened here really well.

Before we get started, I want to remind

you that our Come Follow Me Old Testament calendar is now available and it is gorgeous. It is the

perfect Christmas gift for everybody on your list because it not only helps people keep track of

the Come Follow Me lesson assignments,

but it is like hanging an Old Testament photograph on your wall that changes with the season.

Through this calendar and Scott's stunning photography, you are invited into the ancient

world of the Old Testament. Give them to your friends, your neighbors,

your family members. This is an easy and meaningful way to quickly purchase some of the difficult

Christmas gifts that you have to give. And don't be stopped by the fact that you can't fit one of

these calendars into a standard-sized Christmas stocking. You can just set it to the side.

See the calendar at Latterday Saintmag.com forward slash 2026. That's Latterdayst.magg.com

forward slash 2026. You'll be glad you took a look.
