Join host Lynne Hilton Wilson and expert guest Steven Harper as they explore one of the most miraculous and thrilling chapters in Latter-day Saint history—the dedication of the Kirtland Temple in 1836. Often called a modern “Day of Pentecost,” this sacred event was filled with spiritual outpourings, visions, and manifestations that confirmed the hand of God in the lives of the early Saints. Lynne and Steven dive into the rich history of how the temple came to be, the sacrifices made by the Saints, and the joy they experienced as heaven and earth seemed to meet within its walls.

From angels appearing and the Savior Himself being seen, to the rushing of spiritual power that many compared to the day of Pentecost in the New Testament, this conversation brings to life the extraordinary events surrounding the opening of the first temple in this dispensation. With Lynne’s engaging questions and Steven’s deep expertise, viewers will gain not only historical understanding but also spiritual appreciation for why the Kirtland Temple remains a cornerstone of faith and miracles in the story of the Restoration.
