Between worldly worries, juggling Church responsibilities, and managing societal expectations, many Latter-day Saints are tired.

Understanding these, we are in a better position than ever to teach our children about prophets and why they can trust them. We also find ourselves better able to address questions about living prophets.

Though these two men grew up in close proximity to each other, they didn’t meet until Brigham was in his 30s. Their first meeting, which involved speaking in tongues and led to Joseph prophesying that one day Brigham would “preside over this Church,” proved to be a harbinger of their future relationship. But these two giants of the Restoration, indeed of the American West, didn’t always see eye to eye, though their friendship never faltered.

The relationship between early Mormons and the US was marked by anxiety and hostility. Nineteenth-century Latter-day Saints looked forward to apocalyptic events that would unseat corrupt governments across the globe. Mormons envisioned divine deliverance by way of plagues, natural disasters, foreign invasions, American Indian raids, slave uprisings, or civil war unleashed on American people.
