Brigham Young and the LDS Church pt. 1

About this episode

The episode explores the early life of Brigham Young and the history of the LDS Church and its founder, Joseph Smith.

Mormons Beware: You're in for a scare! Jon details the early years of Brigham's life before his journey to leader of the LDS Church. We also cover a brief history of Joseph Smith and his writing of the Book of Mormon, which is pretty darn silly tbh. Stay tuned for part two next week.
