Today on the podcast David Patrick joins me as we have a discussion about the John Taylor Revelation #11 also known as the 1886 revelation. We start our conversation by David giving us a little background on how he came to be a Mormon Fundamentalist. From there we move into examining the life of John Taylor, as we discus Taylor’s background, his role in early Mormon history, and the significance of the revelation on plural marriage. We covered Taylor’s early ministry, his experiences in Nauvoo and Carthage, his near-fatal wounds during the martyrdom, and his leadership during the Utah period. David shared details from historical sources aboutTaylor’s character, his publishing and debating efforts, and his steadfast defense of plural marriage. They discussed the context and content of the 1886 revelation, its validation by the LDS Church, and its implications for understanding the “new and everlasting covenant.” The conversation alsoincluded personal stories about faith, family, and the challenges of living the fullness of the gospel, as well as reflections on youth, heritage, and the importance of personal revelation.

On this episode Josh Winchell joins me as we discuss Joseph Smith's Revelation #56, which compares Joseph to theprophet Ezekiel. Josh brings the historical context of Ezekiel's prophecies from 585 BC and discussed how Joseph Smith's revelation from 1842 mirrored Ezekiel's warnings to ancient Egypt. The conversation included background information about John D. Lee, who recorded Joseph's revelation, and compared the prophetic roles of both Daniel and Ezekiel in their respective time periods. We then move into what this means for us as Mormons and potential last days scenarios. We wrap it all up by talking about the need to stand where God plants you and to not rush in getting prepared and explain why we as disciples of Christ should not fear His return.

On this episode I sit down and have a conversation with Hyrum Blackmore, we start our conversation by talking aboutthe Blackmores family history and how they found their way into Mormon Fundamentalism, the evolution of their community in Canada, and the community's split from the FLDS under Warren Jeffs. We then discussed the challenges and changes that occurred during and after the split, including the impact on families and leadership structures. The conversation then shifts to marriage, covering topics such as arranged marriages, courting, agency, and the importance of understanding patriarchal order and temple covenants. Hyrum and I explore scriptural perspectives on marriage, the role of parents and leadership, and the balance between guidance and personal agency in marital decisions. They also touched on the importance of joy, hard work, and covenant-keeping in marriage, drawing from personal experiences and historical figures like John Taylor and Joseph Smith. This episode concludes with reflections on the significance of covenants, temple theology, and the ongoing journey of understanding and living gospel principles.

On this was an episode of the podcast I have Freeman Bird on to breakdown the Joseph Smith Revelation #33 in theRestored Version of the Scriptures. Feeman is a software engineer and new father who converted to Mormon fundamentalism. Freeman shared his religious journey, beginning with his childhood in the LDS Church, his parents' loss of faith following the publication of "Rough Stone Rolling" and Mormon Stories podcast, and his subsequent embrace of communism and Marxist ideology during his teenage years. He described how he eventually returned to religion through paganism and esoteric studies, ultimately finding his way to Christ. The conversation then transitioned to discussing Joseph Smith 33, an uncanonized revelation from the Restored Version of the Scriptures that deals withBook of Mormon geography, with Freeman providing historical context about the revelation's origins and its inclusion in the Restored Version of the Scriptures.

Its been tough week for some in Mormon Fundamentalism, with the passing of David Nielsen. I sat here this evening wondering what to do about the podcast this week. I thought about just posting an episode as normal, but that didn’t feel right. I thought about not posting anything, that too feltwrong. So, as I prayed to know what to do, I was given an idea. That is to re-release David’s last episode of the podcast he had done with me on Brotherhood. I was still not sure if that was correct so I reached out to a member of David’s family to ask him if he felt that would be proper because I didn’t want to do anything that would be improper or could cause hurt feelings to another. He was in agreement that re-releasing this episode would be a good thing. Now before I roll into this episode I just want to say a few things.

First, David was a friend, he was the first Fundamentalistto reach out after I started the podcast and encouraged me to keep going and that it was a worthwhile cause. I am not sure I can fully express how much that was needed at that time, to know that another Fundamentalist apart from some of my immediate friends thought it was a worthwhile pursuit. We worked together a little bit with some investigators that would make contact with our two different groups. He would call me or I would call him with a question about history or different ideas. We would be on the phone for an or so and I really enjoyed those talks we had. Above all I saw in David a man that wanted to live by the Spirit. In this podcast I left in the first two minutes where it comes shining through where David called me at just the right time and that wasthe reason for this particular episode of the podcast. I also recommend you pay attention to Davids last comments here on this episode because I think it will tell you exactly where some of his heart and passion was.

One last item here, perhaps the most important thing now,David has left behind a large family, and they are going to need some help. So I ask you the audience, if you have not already, please consider donating to the family by clicking on the link below and donating. By doing so you will be alleviating some of the burden of a family who is hurting.

Yesterday the Mormon Fundamentalist community suffered a loss with the passing of my friend David Nielsen. David was one of the first to reach out to me when he first heard the podcast and encouraged me to keep going telling me that what I was doing was of value. From there we became friends, all my interactions with David are ones that i will cherish. From the first time I met him I knew he was a really good man. David loved missionary work, as I had the opportunity to work with him from time to time with investigators that crossed the paths of our two different groups it became apparent that all he wanted was to bless people, and that is a rare thing in this world. With his passing I am sure he is on the other side of the veil right now probably involved in the work still. David helped a lot of people during this life and now we need to help his family. David has a large family on this side that are now separated from him, and we need to rally around them. That's why right now I am asking you to stop what you are doing and click the link in the description of this video and donate to his family to ease their financial burdens and let them focus on the hardest they have to do which is to grieve and begin to heal from this devastating loss. I know I have the best audience in podcasting ever; we are small in number, but we have punched above our weight in generosity, so let's continue that by clicking that link and donating. I love you guys and God Bless⁠⁠
