In this episode, we discuss a revelation to Orson Pratt (Nov 4, 1830) only weeks after his baptism. The episode uses Orson as a case study for how belief matures into knowledge, why the form of revelation matters, and how historical context sharpens spiritual reading. Gerrit shares a lesser known Orson Pratt recollection of conversion where he said that he first believed on others’ testimonies, acted on that belief, and only afterward received a powerful witness of the Holy Ghost that he could neither fully describe nor deny.
