    How Joseph Smith Designed the Perfect Government Structure (Restoration Revealed Episode 18)

    How Joseph Smith Designed the Perfect Government Structure (Restoration Revealed Episode 18) 0:00 Introduction - Church history in Kirtland 2:10 Joseph & Emma’s Kirtland home & D&C 102 4:27 John Johnson Inn & D&C 107 5:46 Conference Center with Maclane Heward 8:27 The Twelve Apostles and Melchizedek Priesthood 10:05 Additional quorums, offices, and organizations 12:43 Sustaining church leaders 16:03 Presidents of the Church 19:29 Conclusion - D&C 107 and blessings of the priesthood In this video, host Casey Griffiths dives into one of the most inspiring and practical elements of the restored Church of Jesus Christ—the power of councils and divinely guided Church government. Joined by special guest Maclane Heward, a professor at Brigham Young University, the discussion highlights how councils—from the highest quorums of the Church to the smallest ward leadership meetings—create a system where revelation, unity, and inspired decision-making can flourish. Instead of relying on one individual alone, the Lord’s pattern allows multiple voices, perspectives, and spiritual insights to work together for the good of His children. Maclane brings unique insights from both his academic background and his lived faith, showing how councils strengthen leaders, families, and communities alike. Together with Casey, he outlines how this structure prevents misuse of authority, encourages collaboration, and reflects the eternal principle that “in the multitude of counselors there is safety.” The two explore real-world examples of how councils bless not only the global Church but also local wards and stakes, helping members feel supported, heard, and uplifted in their discipleship. This uplifting conversation will leave you with a greater appreciation for how the Lord organizes His Church today. Whether you’re curious about how decisions are made in a worldwide church of millions, or you’re seeking to strengthen the role of councils in your own family and callings, Casey Griffiths and Maclane Heward provide inspiring perspectives that will deepen your faith. Watch to discover how the principle of councils is one of the Church’s greatest strengths in guiding God’s children safely through the complexities of modern life. ____________________________________________ *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.
