And any man or woman that will do this and follow it in their lives, I will warrant them a good place hereafter. And I will ensure them to have less sorrow, ensure a great deal more knowledge, wisdom, joy and peace and comfort than they enjoy here. I do not care who they are or what country they live in.” – Brigham Young Standard of Truth Tour dates for the summer of 2025: ⁠https://standardoftruth.com/tours/⁠ Missouri/Nauvoo – June 22nd through June 28th Palmyra/Kirtland – August 3rd through August 9th [SOLD OUT] Sign up for our free monthly email: ⁠ ⁠https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com⁠ If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: ⁠⁠[email protected]
