episode Bear River Massacre Converted to Miracle (Restoration Revealed Episode 29) cover

Description

In this powerful episode of Restoration Revealed, host Casey Griffiths explores the tragic events of the Bear River Massacre, which took place near Preston in January 1863. Often overlooked in American history, this little-known battle stands as the deadliest single massacre of Native Americans in United States history. As U.S. soldiers clashed with Northwestern Shoshone men, women, and children along the frozen banks of the Bear River, hundreds lost their lives in a devastating confrontation that forever changed the region. Casey carefully walks viewers through the historical context, the causes of rising tensions, and the heartbreaking human cost of the tragedy. Yet from this profound sorrow emerged an unexpected story of faith and reconciliation. In the years that followed, several Shoshone chiefs reported powerful dreams and spiritual manifestations of the Great Spirit that guided them toward peace and ultimately toward membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Their conversions became a remarkable chapter of healing and spiritual transformation born from unimaginable loss. This episode thoughtfully gives voice to both the tragedy and the hope that followed—revealing how faith, revelation, and redemption can arise even from one of the darkest moments in American history.

Genesis 37-41 I Come Follow Me I Handmaidens, Harems and Valiant Women I Lynne Hilton Wilson

Handouts: https://scripturecentral.org/archive/books/book-chapter/genesis-37-41?searchId=0eb3e36bfb24dcd9bb1d1bece1531216b59539a8fde17ee80224af0653c92aa3-en-v=11fcd40 0:00 Intro - Title Sequence 0:52 Dinah (Gen 34) 3:50 Simeon and Levi slay many 6:15 Daughters of the Land (Gen 34) 7:59 Daughters of Jacob (Gen 37) 9:38 Wife of Judah (Gen 38) 12:34 Tamar (Gen 38) 16:05 Potiphar's wife (Gen 39) 18:17 Asenath & her posterity (Gen 41) In this episode of Handmaidens, Harems, and Heroines, Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the rich and often complicated stories of women in Genesis 37–41, shining a thoughtful Latter-day Saint lens on narratives that are frequently overshadowed by the story of Joseph. Dr. Wilson brings depth and cultural insight to the account of Dinah, whose story in Genesis 34 echoes into the later family tensions surrounding Joseph; Tamar, whose courageous and calculated actions in Genesis 38 preserve covenant lineage; and Potiphar’s wife, a powerful yet unnamed Egyptian woman whose encounter with Joseph in Genesis 39 raises questions about power, agency, morality, and voice. With careful attention to ancient Near Eastern context and covenant theology, this episode highlights how these women—whether victims, heroines, or antagonists—play essential roles in moving the Abrahamic story forward. Dr. Wilson invites viewers to look beyond surface readings and consider issues of honor, inheritance, justice, and faith in a patriarchal world. As Joseph rises from slavery to leadership in Egypt, the stories of these women remind us that God’s purposes unfold through complex human experiences—and that even the most difficult narratives in Genesis offer profound spiritual lessons for modern disciples.
