    The Most Bad-A LDS Pioneer in American History: John Moses Browning

    Did you know that by 1900, a staggering three-quarters of all U.S. sporting guns in production involved the designs of just ONE man?Meet John Moses Browning—arguably the most prolific, yet humble, genius in American history. From inventing the iconic Colt 1911 (the U.S. Army's sidearm of choice for 75 years) to designing the heavy machine guns that armed every single American fighter and bomber in World War II, Browning’s legacy is woven into the very fabric of global history.In this episode, we dive deep into the unbelievable life of John Moses Browning. We cover his wild childhood in Ogden, Utah, where at just 10 years old he and his little brother built a working musket from scrap metal to hunt sage hens. We explore his deep faith as a Latter-day Saint pioneer, including his extraordinary mission to Georgia where he literally walked into a shop and saw his own invention on the shelf! Plus, we look at the catastrophic business decision Winchester made that changed firearm manufacturing forever.Whether you are a firearm enthusiast, a history buff, or love stories of American innovation and faith, this episode is for you!👇 Leave your favorite John Browning story in the comments below!

    The Man Who Died for Your Bible: The William Tyndale Story

    The Forbidden Bible: How William Tyndale Changed the World ForeverWhat if reading the Bible in your own language was a crime punishable by death? In this episode, we dive deep into the harrowing and inspiring story of William Tyndale, the man who gave his life so that even a "plow boy" could know the scriptures better than the clergy.We trace the timeline from St. Jerome’s Latin Vulgate to John Wycliffe’s handwritten translations, and finally to Tyndale’s revolutionary work. Tyndale didn't just translate from other versions; he went back to the original Greek and Hebrew, giving us the foundation for over 80% of the King James Version we read today.Join us as we discuss: The secret smuggling of "pocket Bibles" into England. Why the authorities were so afraid of the "common" language. The emotional sacrifice of Tyndale’s martyrdom and his final prayer for the King of England. How this quest for religious liberty paved the way for the U.S. Constitution and the Restoration of the Gospel through Joseph Smith.As we approach the 250th anniversary of the United States and the 200th anniversary of the Church, we reflect on the divine hand that moved through these "brave people" to ensure we have the word of God today.Celebrating the 250 years of the US:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/manual/celebrating-freedom-and-agency/01?lang=engElder D.

    Ruth & Boaz: A Story of Faithful Love

    We go through this fantastic story. We love this. Check out the episode and then go read Ruth for yourself. Comment with your thoughts on Ruth. LIKE SUBSCRIBE SHARE! Thank you for your support!!! Keep being #fearless in your study!In the days when the judges ruled, a famine drives Naomi and her husband Elimelech from Bethlehem in Judah to the land of Moab. Tragedy strikes: Elimelech dies, and years later both of their sons also pass away, leaving Naomi widowed and childless with her two Moabite daughters-in-law, Orpah and Ruth.When Naomi hears that the Lord has visited His people with food, she decides to return home. Orpah stays in Moab, but Ruth makes one of the most beautiful declarations of loyalty in Scripture: “Entreat me not to leave thee… for whither thou goest, I will go; and where thou lodgest, I will lodge: thy people shall be my people, and thy God my God” (Ruth 1:16).The two widows arrive in Bethlehem at the beginning of the barley harvest. Ruth, seeking to provide for them, gleans in the fields and providentially comes to the portion belonging to Boaz—a wealthy and honorable kinsman of Elimelech. Boaz notices Ruth’s diligence, kindness, and devotion to Naomi, and he protects and blesses her.Following Naomi’s wise counsel, Ruth boldly approaches Boaz at the threshing floor and asks him to act as kinsman-redeemer. After a closer relative declines, Boaz willingly redeems the family line, marries Ruth, and restores Naomi’s hope. Their son Obed becomes the grandfather of King David—placing Ruth, a Moabite outsider, directly in the royal lineage that leads to the Messiah, Jesus Christ.#jesuschrist #ruth #viral #new #episode #love #boaz #highpriest #bible #study #scripture #fearless #naomi #faithful #redemption

    Why LDS Women Stopped Healing Blessings – Forgotten History

    We are #fearless as we dive into this topic of women and healing in church history. Shout out to our missionary friends for sending us this topic! In this powerful episode, we uncover the remarkable history of women in the early Latter-day Saint Church who exercised the gifts of healing through faith. From New Testament foundations in Mark 16 and 1 Corinthians 12 to Joseph Smith’s direct counsel to the Relief Society, discover how pioneer sisters served as true ministering angels.Joseph Smith taught in 1842 that there was "no sin" in women laying hands on the sick when done in faith. We share inspiring accounts, including the diary of Maryanne Burnham Freeze and Zina Young’s legacy of over hundreds of documented healings and blessings.We also explore the 20th-century shift, the 1946 instructions, and what this history teaches us about priesthood authority versus the power of faith today — including insights from President Dallin H. Oaks on the fullness of the priesthood requiring righteous men and women.🔑 Key Topics:• Scriptural gifts of healing for all believers• Joseph Smith’s teachings to the Relief Society• Washings, anointings & confinement blessings• The transition in Church practice• Women’s spiritual gifts in the ongoing RestorationPlease LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and SHARE with someone who needs to hear this history!#LDS #ReliefSociety #ChurchHistory #FaithHealing #JosephSmith #LatterDaySaints #WomenInTheChurch #Restoration #fearless #faith #healed #mormon #history #women #gender #priesthood #viral #new #episode #newepisode #dallinhoaks #prophet #oaks #josephsmith Research:Journal of Mormon History:https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=&httpsredir=1&article=1064&context=mormonhistoryZina D.H.

    Convert and Come Back Story: Our Fearless Journey to Faith

    In this episode, we open up about our individual and shared paths from routine religion and skepticism to a deep, active conviction in our faith. We dive into how we moved past unanswered questions and "convenience-based" religion to find a spiritual home that finally makes sense.In this episode, we discuss:A Glimpse into Our Chaos: Before getting into the deep stuff, we share a quick life update—from raising 28 chicks and 10 ducks to growing giant pumpkins and our never-ending home remodel. Nikki’s Path from Atheism: How a childhood in the Lutheran church led to years of agnosticism and atheism, viewing the Bible as a work of fiction, until a powerful, physical spiritual experience while running changed everything. Ethan's Come Back: Growing up LDS without real conviction, Ethan shares his struggles with "saving doctrine" vs. his interest in biblical stories with unanswered questions, and how he navigated a previous temple marriage and divorce before finding his own testimony. The Power of Context: The impact of Jordan Peterson’s  @JordanBPeterson  Bible series and the "Stick of Joseph"  @thestickofjoseph   @WARDRADIO  in helping us understand Hebrew context, archaeology, and the significance of metal plates. The Urgent Temple Prompting: The incredible simultaneous feeling and urgent need to get to the temple, followed immediately by a missionary visit that gave us the details on church and when to show up on Sunday. Covenants and Spiritual Attacks: We reflect on the spiritual opposition we faced during the baptism and sealing process and the peace we found in finally making sacred covenants together.
