Standard of Truth

S5E9 Missionary Madness and Brigham Young’s Leadership


Listen Later

In this episode, we dig into the ever-growing missionary litenership and announce a March Madness-style contest to see which mission can get the most missionaries listening to the podcast.

Gerrit unpacks why sustaining President Nelson is essential to the restored gospel and comparisons to early Latter-day Saints following Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, explaining why revelation through a living prophet is the foundation of our faith—not just scripture or past teachings.

Richard and Gerrit also discuss Brigham Young’s leadership style and whether apostles were afraid to speak their minds in the 19th century.
