She shares her journey of struggling with the stories of polygamy and working to discover truth, both about polygamy and Joseph Smith. Enjoy!

Please consider supporting this podcast: Venmo: @Michelle-Stone-24 https://www.patreon.com/132Problems The current church narrative found in the gospel topics essays is problematic. It is far from comprehensive or transparent, but beyond that, it is not consistent with past church teachings, the historical sources, the scriptures, or many current church teachings and statements from recent leaders. Yet, despite the fact that the things claimed in the essays have not been spoken by leaders, taught in general conference, and certainly not accepted as church doctrine, some claim that church members in good standing may not publicly disagree with them. Let's look at some of the problems with that claim, and just a few of the problems with the narrative -- namely, the claim that reasons for polygamy were never given and that polygamy was not taught to be necessary for exaltation.

Mark Hofmann, Mormonism's forger and bomber, is perhaps the most infamous member of the church. He also happens to be my cousin. My oldest sister joins me to discuss her experiences growing up with him, and our perspectives on him and his wonderful family. More importantly, she shares her own experiences and revelations about mothering children who go different ways.
