Summary

I mean, maybe, we don’t know. In this episode, we respond to a listener’s email about whether we choose our families in the premortal existence or are assigned them in a more random way. Gerrit references a talk by Brigham Young, a dream by Mosiah Hancock, and the documentary film Saturday’s Warrior.
