Summary

Imagine growing up hearing the stories of Emma Hale Smith, Phoebe Carter, the Whitmers, Brigham Young, and Brother Joseph. This week’s guest, Dr. Susan Easton Black, didn’t grow up hearing fairy tales but true stories of bravery, faithfulness, betrayal, and courage. Dr. Black teaches us how the Lord taught His People that Zion and the Church were more than a place they visited on Sundays, how they received the command to “gather to the Ohio,” and how Joseph continued his New Translation of the Bible. Do we sacrifice as willingly for the Lord as our earliest Saints as we study Doctrine and Covenants 37-40?

0:34.0	You are talented and amazing. In fact, I was someone to ask me the other day what it's like to
0:39.2	do this with you. And I said, if you were to told me, see I was 12 years old when I heard you speak.
0:44.1	And if you would have said to me that one day, you young man are going to do a podcast with John
0:51.1	by the way. You know what I would have said? I would have said, what's a podcast? That's what I
0:56.1	would have said. And I would have said, that's amazing. John, this is just such a treat. Every week we
1:02.8	get to talk with one of the church's top minds and we have another chance this week. Tell us who's
1:10.0	with us. Oh, I'm genuinely, I mean, it's always it's always customary to say it's good to be here,
1:16.0	but I am so excited to be here with sister Susan Eastern Black joining us today. I told my wife,
