In this episode Jared, Elijah, and Ashley sit down for a quieter, more emotional conversation centered on Doctrine & Covenants 135 — the announcement of the martyrdom of Joseph and Hyrum Smith.
The three of them talk about why Joseph Smith matters to them personally: Ashley shares some powerful family history and what she’s learned from the Prophet Joseph about being cheerful in hard things; Jared opens up about how the Book of Mormon carried him through the darkest seasons of his life; and Elijah reflects on the things Joseph did that he knows he couldn’t have done himself and his admiration for him because of those things.
It’s simple and genuine this week, and we hope it leaves you thinking about your own gratitude for the Prophet Joseph Smith, especially heading into Thanksgiving week.
