On the day of episode 99's release, it's exactly 100 years since the death on 17 April 1925 of Godfrey Isaacs - Managing Director of the Marconi Company. More than that - new evidence shows that he came up with and championed the idea of the one BBC. For years, the British government (via the Post Office) has been credited with the plan for a singular British broadcaster. But lost meeting minutes have been rediscovered.... The academic who found these minutes - misplaced for decades - is David Prosser of the University of Bristol. He joins us to tell us about the 18 May 1922 meeting where Godfrey Isaacs proposed that the Marconi Company share patents and collaborate with its rivals to form one (British) Broadcasting Company. And Robert Godfrey - Isaacs' great-great-grandson - joins us to give new insights into the life of this under-heralded pioneer in the ways of wireless. Hear tales of the Marconi Scandal, Titanic, business wrangling, broadcasting innovation, battles with the press, and a life cut short. There's a lot to tell, so this is a longer episode than usual - sorry! Actually I'm not sorry... these chaps know their stuff, and it's an incredible tale. .

Historically, this section prepares Hyrum as a close ally to Joseph Smith, emphasizing the themes of preparation, revelation, and obedience in the missionary work of the early Church.SPARK 1: MISSED MIRACLES================OBJECT LESSON: “Satan Has Great Hold upon Their Hearts”: Hidden in Plain Sight SnakesQUESTIONS: - What do you think it means to have your mind become darkened? Do you think this happened immediately for Joseph or did it play out over time? What do you think would be the most challenging part of that loss for Joseph? - Where else do you see Satan use that tactic in scripture? When have you seen the adversary distort or diminish someone's perception of God's power? - How do you reconcile this with God's constant guardianship of our moral agency? SPARK 2: SPIRITUAL DYNAMITE===================================OBJECT LESSON: “I Will Establish My Church Among Them”: Exploding Dynamite BlocksEtsy Printable Link: [COMING SOON!]QUESTIONS: - Elder Renlund taught “The access to God's covenantal power and His covenantal love is through His Church. The combination of the Savior's gospel and His Church transforms our lives.”When have you seen that transformation firsthand? How has the unique combination of the Savior's gospel and His restored Church been transformational to you?When have you prayed for understanding and received an answer like Nephis? When have you seen the Lord's previously unknown purposes come into focus in your life? - Nephi was commanded to make the small plates for a “wise purpose,” but he did not understand it during his lifetime.

In "Joseph Smith—History" 1:27–65, Joseph Smith details his experiences from receiving the First Vision, his persecutions, youthful mistakes, and the visitations of the angel Moroni, who instructs him about the Book of Mormon plates. Moroni repeatedly visits Joseph, explaining the importance of the plates and the role Joseph is to play. Joseph faces persecution and challenges as he prepares to fulfill his divine calling and eventually gains possession of the plates, beginning the translation process with the help of others like Martin Harris, who confirms the authenticity of the characters with scholars. The narrative highlights Joseph's faith, trials, and the miraculous support he receives in his prophetic mission. SPARK 1:THE HEART OF HAGRID================OBJECT LESSON: “He Replied to Me That It Was of God”: Sustain Chain RelayEtsy Printable Link: [LINK SOON]QUESTIONS: - When have you felt truly sustained by someone else? - At first, Joseph fears Moroni, but it fades quickly.

Do you think it was significant that she was with him when he finally received the plates? - If God had promised to protect the plates, why was it necessary for Joseph to use so many different hiding techniques? Do you think that experience was a teaching tool of some kind? What might he have gained from it? What might Emma have gained?SPARK 3: PLANTED PROMISES=============================OBJECT LESSON: “The Hearts of the Children Shall Turn”: Spirit of Elijah SpinnersEtsy Printable Link: [LINK HERE]QUESTIONS: - When have you felt your heart turn towards your “fathers” or “children” significantly?

What is significant about his life or teachings that makes him particularly effective in this role? - In 2021, Elder Bednar connected these teachings about Elijah to Savior's invitation to “Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”9 How are sealing keys and temple covenants being connected to that invitation?CHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:03:25 QUICK GLANCE00:06:55 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:14:39 SPARK 1 OBJECT...

Confused about which church to join, 14-year-old Joseph was inspired by James 1:5 and prayed for guidance. In the spring of 1820, he experienced a vision where Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ appeared to him in a grove of trees. They instructed him not to join any of the existing churches. Despite facing ridicule and persecution for sharing his vision, Joseph remained firm in his conviction, knowing he had received divine guidance.SPARK 1: THEY KNEW IT NOT================OBJECT LESSON: “I Reflected on It Again and Again”: Fruits of the Spirit SticksQUESTIONS: Joseph writes this record to combat the “evil-disposed and designing persons” who are attacking the Church.

Do you see parallels between Joseph's experience and the Burning Bush? Does the Sacred Grove add new light to your understanding of Moses or Enoch's call to be prophets?In verse 26, Joseph is told to “continue as I was until further directed.” Why not have Joseph stay close to a church until Moroni comes a few years later? He's a teenage boy, wouldn't some church be better than none? Why not?Joseph compares himself to Paul, who also saw a light and heard a voice. Do you think Paul's death also struck a chord with Joseph? Could that be why he says so little to his mother that day about his experience?SPARK 3: CANCER OF CONTENTION=======================OBJECT LESSON: “They Draw Near unto Me with Their Lips”: Hypocrisy Marshmallow ShootersQUESTIONS: In verse 14, Joseph talks about having “anxieties” and stepping into unknown territory.

The section establishes the divine authority by which Joseph Smith and others have been called to share these revelations.

The revelations reveal God's purpose to guide and prepare His people for His second coming, ensuring that no one can hide from His decrees and that His commandments will be fulfilled.

He invites readers to ponder the mercies of God throughout history and to ask God, with real intent, if the Book of Mormon is true, promising that by the power of the Holy Ghost, they can know its truth. Moroni emphasizes the importance of spiritual gifts given by the Spirit, such as faith, healing, and prophecy, and encourages everyone to seek these gifts with faith and belief in Christ.

Is there comfort in believing his powers are limited somehow? Are these all the same power? How can we tell them apart?Moroni 10:30 | What constitutes an evil gift? What does that term refer to?

Mormon's letters to Moroni include counsel and expressions of his deep love for him, emphasizing the need to endure in faith, even amid difficult circumstances. Throughout these chapters, themes of love, obedience, and resilience during adversity are prominent.Moroni 7:12-13 | What's the difference between inviting and enticing? How do you see the adversary using those tactics? How does the Lord use them to help us use our agency for good?Moroni 8:3 | Why does Mormon use this title for Christ here? We don't often think of the Christ child as powerful. Is there a connection to his teachings about children in the rest of the chapter?Moroni 9 | If past feeling is the far end of the spectrum, what is on the other end? What does this term teach you about the character and nature of God?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:00 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:06:38 SPARK 1: IN THE SPACE OF NOT MANY YEARS00:17:23 SPARK 2: MARTHA MOMENTS00:29:23 SPARK 3: MEEK & MILD00:38:49 QUESTIONS00:42:45 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [ETHER 12-15] Insights“By Faith All Things Are Fulfilled”November 25 – December 1, 2024LINK TO THE CREATIVE VIDEO FOR ETHER 12-15https://youtu.be/PNQhTwo6djUWEEK 48: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:Ether 12-15 details a period of intense conflict and prophecy in the Jaredite civilization. Ether, the prophet, emphasizes the importance of faith, illustrating how it precedes miracles and is crucial for spiritual strength, referencing past prophets like Alma and Moroni. Despite Ether's warnings, the people embrace wickedness, leading to widespread wars. Coriantumr, a pivotal king, sees prophetic visions of his people's annihilation if they do not repent. As battles intensify, with leaders like Shared and Shiz rising against him, Coriantumr grapples with relentless warfare and personal injuries. Ultimately, Ether's prophecies come to pass as the Jaredite civilization collapses due to internal turmoil, leaving Coriantumr as the last survivor, fulfilling God's word that another group—the Nephites—would inhabit the land. These chapters highlight the consequences of pride and the power of faith.Ether 12:12 | How do you define a miracle? How do we balance seeking and expecting miracles, as President Nelson invited us to do, and patiently allowing the Lord's will to be done?Ether 13:1-14 | Why does Ether bother telling them “all things” if they are so wicked? Why not just write them down for future generations who will appreciate them? Is there power in prophesying even if no one heeds your words? Ether 13:1,31, 14:12 | Why is this the consequence God chooses for Coriantumr? Is this a fitting end for someone who caused so much destruction or is God in relentless pursuit of him?CHAPTERS=========00:00:13 INSIGHTS INTRODUCTION00:02:26 INSIGHTS CHAPTER SUMMARY00:09:25 SPARK 1: PARTING THE LAYERED VEIL00:19:58 SPARK 2: HOW WEAK THINGS BECOME STRONG00:30:47 SPARK 3: ETHER'S ARK OF 100:42:14 QUESTIONS00:46:08 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

The text highlights moral lessons on the consequences of rejecting the Lord's guidance and the recurring theme of repentance and redemption. Despite times of righteousness, the Jaredites often fall back into chaos, foreshadowing future trials for their civilization.Ether 6:12 | What are tender mercies to you? When have you seen them? How did you recognize them? Did your mortal mind try to reconcile them? How did you get past those feelings and find divinity in them?Ether 8:7-10 | How does Satan use good motives to do tempt us to do sinful things? How do we guard against this?

Sadly, the unity begins to unravel when pride creeps back in among the people and false teachings lure hearts away from the truth. 3 Nephi 27:25-26 | How does it comfort you to know the Father is the recorder for your life? How would that knowledge impact your prayers? How does D&C 137:9 help you understand this verse?3 Nephi 28:1-10 | If this asking to tarry on the earth was such a good choice for the 3 Nephites, why don't we have more people choosing it in scriptural history? What makes these three (and other translated beings) distinct from ministering angels?4 Nephi 1:3 | These people weren't in bondage before Christ's coming. How were they “made free”?

Interestingly, so much of His sermon was focused on their covenant connection to the House of Israel and the blessings of Abraham. After hearing that same focus from so many at General Conference, the words in these chapters feel more pertinent than ever. 3 Nephi 21:9 | Why is there a distinction between the words great and marvelous? What does the word marvelous add to greatness? Where have you seen both of these adjectives demonstrated in the Restored Church?3 Nephi 24:11 | What does the adversary try to devour"? Why is this a fitting title? Does 2 Nephi 27:3 add any additional understanding? How does the Savior's teachings to the woman at the well apply to this concept?3 Nephi 26:9 | Are there doctrinal concepts or ideas you have had to accept on faith?

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeBook of Mormon [3 NEPHI 17-19]] Insights“Behold, My Joy Is Full”October 7 – October 13, 2024WEEK 41: SUMMARY=================Lesson Summary:This week we come to know the character of the Savior in beautiful intimate ways. First, he'll respond to the earnest, unspoken pleas of the people by healing their wounds and blessing their families. Next, He'll show His love for the people by giving the divine mandate to remember Him through the sacrament ordinance. Finally, His watch care is evident when He calls and authorizes the twelve to carry on His work long after He departs. This study is compelling after hearing our own apostles witness of the Savior over conference weekend.3 Nephi 17:1 | Alma 40:8 says time only is measured unto men. Why is God bound by it? Why can't the Savior just time travel and spend as much time with them as he needs? How do Doctrine and Covenants 38:2 and Doctrine and Covenants 130:7 help you understand this verse?3 Nephi 18:36-39 | Why does everyone see him when he comes but only the apostles see Him leave? What does the cloud represent? 3 Nephi 18:35 | Why is it expedient that Jesus goes to the Father?

Jesus will teach those ready to live a higher law and become perfected through Him. He'll teach the Beatitudes, ask them to examine their intentions, and remind them of prophecy about His other sheep. It's a power-packed week of study! 3 Nephi 11-16 | Elder Holland said “Refuse to accept the world for what it appears to be. Shine the brightness of your hope on it and make it what it ought to be.” How do you see this type of determination and tenacious hope in the Savior this week? Can hope actually change the landscape of your lif or does it just make you view it differently?14:13-14 | There are many reasons why the gate of baptism is strait and narrow. One of my favorites I found in 2 Nephi 9:41. That verse openem my eyes to a new understanding about the relationship that is initiated. Why do you think the gate is strait and narrow?3 Nephi 15:17-18 | Pride and doubt limit revelation for the Children of Israel in Jesus' time. How have you seen it limit revelation in your life?
