132 includes many troubling threats of destruction toward women. We'll look at the purpose and tone of these threats and compare them to the rest of scripture and what we know of the nature of God.

In God’s eyes are women people or property? Section 132 repeatedly refers to women as property. Is that consistent with the rest of scripture? What can we learn from Eve and other women in scripture? Is there a way to reconcile these two perspectives? Why does it matter?

Composer Janeen Brady (I Lived in Heaven, I'm a Mormon, When I Grow Up I Want to be a Mother) has written hundreds of songs for children, sold over 15 million albums, and raised a large family. She is also only two generations removed from LDS polygamy. In this fascinating interview she shares her history, insights, wisdom and experiences. We also discuss some of the painful stories from her polygamist ancestors, particularly that of Ann Mariah Bowen Call. You won’t want to miss this one.

Many still believe this story and use it as a justification for Joseph’s polygamy. Where did this story come from? And does it hold up to scrutiny and what we know of God and the gospel of Jesus Christ?

Correction: This story was actually about my 8th baby. My first 6 were at the hospital, 7th was a homebirth, and babies 8-11 were unassisted homebirths.

A very personal episode. Our unique baptismal covenants are more important, inspired, and specific than I ever knew. They deserve our focus. As we come to better understand them and their inspired order, we can learn to better implement them and fulfill the covenants we make as disciples of Christ. (A sidetrack from our usual topic -- next week we'll get back to polygamy.)

Mosiah 18: 5-10

We look in depth at the story of Jacob and his wives, Leah, Rachel, Bilhah, and Zilpah. What were their experiences? Is polygamy a blessing or a curse? Why was Jacob a polygamist? And what was the real reason Jacob (and Abraham) were not condemned for their polygamy?

Genesis 28 - 33
