Summary
On this episode, we record from NAUVOO during the John Whitmer Historical Association conference. We talk with historians William Shepherd, Joseph Geisner, and H. Michael Marquardt about the Council of Fifty and the Hodge murders, the subjects these historians have been researching most recently. After that, I offer my own musings wrapping up the conference with a few headlines which have come out in the Mormon community recently. Thanks to everybody who made the JWHA conference a resounding success and such a pleasure to attend this year!

| 0:06.0 | I pledge my life all that I may have. |
| 0:11.0 | I will strive to the utmost of my ability to be what you would want me to be. |
| 0:17.0 | It's time to find the truth. |
| 0:19.0 | And having set our hand to the plow, we will never look back until this work is finished. |
| 0:32.6 | Where is the church going? |
| 0:33.6 | I have faith that the Constitution will be saved as prophesied by Joseph Smith. |
| 0:43.2 | But it will not be saved in Washington. |
| 0:46.6 | It will be saved by enlightened members of this church. |
| 0:51.2 | The explicit tag is there for a reason. |
| 0:53.2 | So if you get offended of what's said, |

| 1:49.0 | that airs on October 12th. Without out of the way, this week's episode is something very special, |
| 1:56.3 | and I'm really excited to share it with everybody who's listening right now. Before we get into the meat of today's episode, let me tell you a little bit about it to provide context for what you're about to hear. |
| 2:07.5 | I've spent this previous weekend at the John Whitmer Historical Association Conference. |
