1:10 Nauvoo’s Red Brick store with Taunalyn Ford - Church Headquarters 4:00 D&C 132 revelation and William Clayton 6:50 Smith Family Homestead - Emma’s Faith journey 9:10 Answering questions about polygamy 12:25 Experiences of women and strengthening Faith 15:15 Heber & Vilate Kimball Home - Eternal Marriage 18:45 Salt Lake City Cemetery - Facing trials with Faith In this fascinating episode, host Casey Griffiths explores one of the most profound and challenging revelations of the Restoration — Joseph Smith’s teachings on Eternal and Plural Marriage in 1840s Nauvoo, Illinois. Special guest Taunalyn Ford, a historian and writer for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints specializing in women histories, brings insight and empathy into the everyday lives of the women who participated in plural marriage from Church History. Casey and Taunalyn uncover the truth behind the people, history, and events that shaped this sacred and complex chapter in Latter-day Saint history. Discover how early Church members wrestled with faith, family, and obedience as they sought to live principles revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith — doctrines that expanded the Saints’ understanding of eternal relationships, divine covenants, and the eternal potential of men and women. Join us as we look beyond controversy to the faith, sacrifice, and conviction of those who believed that marriage, sealed by divine authority, could last forever. *Donate to Scripture Central: https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/scripture-central/donations *Sign up for our email list: https://forms.aweber.com/form/87/2078810487.htm *Download our free scripture study tool, the ScripturePlus app: https://www.scriptureplus.org/ ____________________________________________ *The opinions expressed may represent the views of the individual creators or guests alone, and do not necessarily represent official positions of Scripture Central or of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. *This channel may make use of copyrighted material, the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

D&C 133-134 The Book of Abraham I Come Follow Church History I Lynne Hilton Wilson

With a warm and faithful perspective, Lynne explores the incredible doctrines revealed through this ancient record—truths about the divine nature of men and women, our premortal existence, and our eternal standing as beloved children of God. Lynne also highlights the groundbreaking research of Dr. John Gee, renowned Egyptologist at BYU, whose decades of study on hundreds of Egyptian facsimiles shed new light on Joseph Smith’s inspired translation. His work provides fascinating insights that support and enrich our understanding of how the Book of Abraham connects ancient symbols with eternal truths. *Donate to Scripture Central: https://form-renderer-app.donorperfect.io/give/scripture-central/donations *Sign up for our email list: https://forms.aweber.com/form/87/2078810487.htm *Download our free scripture study tool, the ScripturePlus app: https://www.scriptureplus.org/ ____________________________________________ *The opinions expressed may represent the views of the individual creators or guests alone, and do not necessarily represent official positions of Scripture Central or of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. *This channel may make use of copyrighted material, the use of which has not always been specifically authorized by the copyright owner.

Genesis 24-33 I Come Follow Me I Handmaidens, Harems and Female Heroes I Lynne Hilton Wilson

Handouts: https://scripturecentral.org/archive/books/book-chapter/genesis-24-33?searchId=0eb3e36bfb24dcd9bb1d1bece1531216b59539a8fde17ee80224af0653c92aa3-en-v=11fcd40 0:00 Title sequence 0:51 Background of Rebekah & Isaac 3:53 Sarah & Rebekah parallels & the miraculous engagement 9:00 Marriages of Rebekah/Isaac & Abraham/Keturah 13:20 Rebekah bears Jacob & Esau 16:43 Jacob receives Esau’s birthright 20:08 Marriages of Jacob/Rachel/Leah & Esau/Mahalath 25:29 The births of Israel’s 13 children In this episode, Dr. Lynne Hilton Wilson explores the rich Old Testament narratives surrounding the matriarchs of Israel, highlighting the faith, courage, and covenant loyalty of women in the Jacob cycle. Beginning with the well-known scene of Rebekah’s generosity in Book of Genesis—where she offers water not only to Abraham’s servant but to his camels—Dr. Wilson connects this act of selfless service to the covenant marriages that shape the house of Israel. The story then moves to Rachel and Leah, daughters of Laban, whose lives intertwine with Jacob’s through love, deception, longing, and divine promise. Through their marriages, and through the faithful contributions of Zilpah and Bilhah, the foundations of the twelve tribes are laid. Dr. Wilson carefully examines the births of Gad and Asher through Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, and reflects on the complex family dynamics that shaped Jacob’s household. She also addresses the wives of Esau and the contrasting covenant paths chosen by Jacob and his brother. With insight drawn from ancient context and Latter-day Saint theology, this episode brings forward the voices of these often-overlooked women—Rachel, Leah, Zilpah, Bilhah, Rebekah, and Esau’s wives—showing how their choices, sacrifices, and faith played a central role in God’s covenant story.
