Examining the Vision of the Dead in the Spirit World (Restoration Revealed Episode 27)

In this episode of Restoration Revealed, host Casey Griffiths takes viewers deep into one of the most profound and hopeful revelations of the Latter-day Saint tradition—Doctrine and Covenants Section 138, President Joseph F. Smith’s remarkable Vision of the Spirit World. Recorded in 1918 during a time of personal loss and global upheaval, this vision offers a rare and vivid glimpse into what awaits God’s children beyond mortality. Casey leads viewers through the historical setting, the spiritual preparation of President Smith, and the breathtaking details of what he witnessed: the righteous dead gathered in anticipation, the organization of missionary work among the spirits, and the Savior’s empowering ministry that extends across the veil. This episode explores why having a detailed record of the Spirit World is so unique and significant—how it shapes Latter-day Saint beliefs about death, redemption, and the universal reach of Christ’s Atonement. With clarity and inspiration, Restoration Revealed brings this extraordinary revelation to life and helps viewers appreciate the scope of God’s plan for all His children. Join us for a thoughtful and uplifting journey into one of the Restoration’s most reassuring doctrines.

The Messiah and the Temple

Presentation given September 25 in Salt Lake about the Messiah and the Temple. During the presentation I also show what I have finished as of so far on the clothing of the High Priest. The video angle was not the best (and we sadly we did not get everything in the shot), but it gives the general message of why I decided to recreate the garments of the High Priest. Enjoy!
