S2 E9. Elder LeGrand R. Curtis Jr: When more is more: How context enhances our understanding of church history Choosing Faith

    • Christianity

The church of jesus christ of latter-day saints has a wondrous, inspiring, and sometimes puzzling history. While there are numerous miraculous events which testify of the restored gospel, and are the core pillars of many saints’ testimonies, other events can be more challenging to wrap our heads around.

No one understands the complexities of history better than Elder LeGrand Curtis Jr, the current Church historian and recorder, who joins me today to explore how reading stories of  saints from the past can actually strengthen, rather than shake, our faith.
