September 1-7How important are temples to the Lord? When Joseph Smith was on his first mission to Missouri in the summer of 1831, only 17 months after the Church was organized, on August 3, 1831, he received a revelation about a temple to be built in Independence in Jackson County. (D&C 57:3). Then, on December 27, 1832 in Section 88 (v. 119), the Lord revealed that a temple was to be built in Kirtland. So, the Saints had been commanded to build two temples, one in Jackson County and one in Kirtland, but, honestly, in mortal eyes, it was a task that looked impossible.
Independence, Missouri, was to be the culmination of the Saints' dreams and revelations for the establishment of Zion in the last days. Many were obedient and gave everything they had to create Zion and others were disobedient and lacked Faith. A number of mistakes were made by the Saints and the Missourians. The results were tragic. What went wrong in Missouri? Was the prophet Joseph Smith wrong about the revelations he received? Why did the Lord send the Saints to Independence, if he knew they would fail? If the failure of the establishment of Zion was due to sin, what sins did the Saints commit that brought them such horrible troubles? As relations between the Saints and the Missourians soured, Jackson County leaders demanded a meeting. At the July 20th meeting, the Jackson County leaders gave the Saints a list of demands: 1) No more Mormonites could settle in Jackson County. 2) Those already in the county must sell their property and leave as soon as possible. 3) Printing of 'The Evening and the Morning Star' must stop immediately. 4) The church storehouse and shops must close as soon as possible. Not knowing exactly what to do and needing to seek the prophet's counsel, Bishop Edward Partridge asked for three month stay to communicate with the Prophet in Ohio. The Missouri leaders refused. In the end, they gave the Bishop fifteen minutes to decide to accept the terms. His unwillingness to obey the order led to him being tarred and feathered in front of the Independence courthouse. The expulsion of the Saints from Missouri had begun. Join Lynne Hilton Wilson and professor Janiece Johnson as they discuss the details behind this exciting and tragic period of Church History.

John Hamer makes the surprising argument that the Auditorium is, in fact, a Community of Christ temple—a claim even many RLDS members have never heard. Why does he say this? It ties back to the unfinished temple project of the Church of Christ (Temple Lot), also known as the Hedrickites. For a time, the two churches were essentially constructing rival temples side by side on the historic temple lot. Join us as we dive into this fascinating story! https://youtu.be/Ngfz0UTK5l8 John is the co-author of Scattering of the Saints: Schism Within Mormonism. Don't miss our other episodes with John Hamer! https://gospeltangents.com/people/john-hamer/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved The concept and construction of temples have been a central, yet often contentious, aspect of the Restoration movement. While the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) is well-known for its extensive temple building, other branches of the Restoration tradition have also grappled with their own unique visions and challenges regarding sacred spaces. Historian John Hamer sheds light on the fascinating, and sometimes fraught, history of temple competition and diverse practices among groups like the Community of Christ (formerly RLDS), the Hedrickites, Strangites, and Cutlerites. The Community of Christ's Dual Temple Vision For the Community of Christ, the idea of a "temple" has taken on multiple forms, leading to what some might see as competing sacred spaces. The Auditorium as a Temple: The Community of Christ Auditorium, located on the "greater Temple Lot" in Independence, Missouri, was envisioned by Fred M. Smith as a temple, though he used the modern term "auditorium". Construction began in 1929 during the Great Depression, incurring significant debt. This massive structure, designed for conferences, worship, training, learning, and church headquarters offices, aligned with Joseph Smith III's earlier vision for an Independence temple. Hamer explicitly states that the Auditorium is the temple for the reorganization, a fact often overlooked even within the Community of Christ itself. The Independence Temple: Despite the Auditorium's existence, Fred M. Smith's brother, W. Wallace Smith, who succeeded him as prophet, received revelations about the need to build a temple. This led to the construction of the architecturally magnificent "Spiral Temple," also known as the Community of Christ Temple. Its design incorporates the Fibonacci sequence, symbolizing divine ratios and connecting to ancient Greek civilization, and was a significant draw for Hamer to join the Community of Christ. Hamer suggests that the lack of institutional memory regarding the Auditorium's original purpose might have contributed to the decision to build a second temple. Hedrickites and the Battle for the Temple Lot The Church of Christ (Temple Lot), also know as the Hedrickites the earliest Restoration branch to return to Jackson County, Missouri. They hold a key portion of "the Temple Lot". This property was part of a much larger parcel Edward Partridge originally bought for a total of 24 temples. RLDS Aggression and Backfire: The RLDS Church made aggressive attempts to acquire this land through lawsuits and a "sneaky" plan for "free association". The idea was to absorb the tiny Temple Lot Church, which at the time had minimal active leadership. Otto Fetting/Competing Structures: This plan dramatically backfired when a thousand RLDS members, including Otto Fetting, transferred their membership to the Temple Lot Church. Otto Fetting then began receiving revelations to build a temple, which, strikingly, was designed as an Auditorium-like structure with assembly halls and offices, echoing the former RLDS members' understanding of temples. This created a direct architectural and spiritual competition with the Community of Christ's Auditorium. The Hedrickites believe they found cornerstones for a temple dedicated in th...
Revelation Dates: May – August, 1833 Revelation Places: Kirtland, Ohio Section 94 - Historical Background: Ever since January, 1833, Joseph Smith had been warning the church leaders in Jackson County, Missouri to stop disputing and quarrelling among themselves. Their sinful behavior was putting the whole cause of Zion at risk. As they did not repent, the threats of mobs increased. If the saints in Missouri were not worthy to build a temple on the dedicated lot in Zion, the Lord would build an interim temple in Kirtland. There were keys to be restored and endowments to be performed. Time was of the essence. Therefore, on May 6, 1833, Joseph received this revelation. Recap: The Kirtland saints are to begin laying out plans for the building of a temple. 3 lots are to be purchased for the project to build the temple, a printing house, and a residence for Hyrum Smith. The dimensions of the temple and printing shop are given. But they are commanded to not begin construction until the Lord gives approval. The Lord promises to come personally to the finished, dedicated temple as long as it remains clean and sacred. Section 95 - Historical Background: In December, 1832, the Lord had given divine directions for the building of houses of worship and for the school of the prophets. For over 6 months now, the Kirtland saints had not complied with this commandment. The Lord reprimands the saints for their lackluster effort in this matter. Recap: The Lord loves those whom He chastens. The saints have sinned by neglecting the building of the house of the Lord. Consequently, those who have been called and qualified to preach the gospel, go out unprepared and walk in the darkness at noon day. The Lord promises the saints that if they keep His commandments, He will give them power to build the temple, and He provides the temple dimensions and purposes. Section 96 - Historical Background: The day following the receipt of Section 95, a council of high priests discussed the purchasing of the lots commanded by the Lord. A property owned by Pete French, referred to as the French farm, was to be purchased. However, they couldn't decide how it should then be managed. Joseph, along with this council of High Priests, appeal to the Lord for help. Recap: The French farm will be administered by Bishop Newell K. Whitney. The farm is to be divided into lots, a portion for the temple, the printing house and various consecrated inheritances. The Lord then commanded John Johnson be admitted to the United Order and be provided a place of residence. Section 97 - Historical Background: By the summer of 1833, Jackson County was becoming a stage of crisis. Meanwhile, the work in Kirtland was progressing and the temple cornerstone had been laid. Joseph was very concerned for the saints in Missouri and inquired of the Lord for their sakes. By this time, due to severe persecution, the saints in Zion had been forced to sign an agreement to vacate Jackson County under a predetermined timeline (which was ultimately violated by the mobs). Recap: Threatening circumstances have caused the leaders of the church in Zion to become humble and meek. This state of humility allows the Lord to show mercy towards them. The Lord wants to bless His people but needs them to be honest, with broken hearts and contrite spirits. The saints are commanded to quickly build a modest temple, similar in design to what is being built in Kirtland, through the tithing of the saints. The Lord promises to visit this temple in glory, to be seen by all the pure in heart, as long as it is undefiled and worthy. But the Lord forewarns the people that if they do not do what they have been commanded, they will be visited with sore afflictions, plagues, and with sword and vengeance. [Note: All this could have been avoided had the saints repented quickly and had the zeal to build the temple as commanded.]

Revelation Date: May 6, 1833 Revelation Place: Kirtland, Ohio Section 93 - Historical Background: Many of the saints had migrated from Kirtland to Jackson County, Missouri, but there were still about 150 families remaining in Kirtland, Ohio. Still, the Lord wanted to establish a Stake there and organize the building of a temple. In anticipation of this, the Lord revealed to Joseph Smith one of the most profound revelations found in the Doctrine and Covenants, providing deep, spiritual truths the saints would need to know to appreciate the significance of the temple endowment. Recap: Every human being who keeps God's commandments shall see His face and shall receive the Father's fullness, grace for grace. Christ is the Firstborn, and was chosen in the beginning to be the Only Begotten of the Father, the Creator of all things and the Redeemer of mankind. Truth is defined as knowing the realities of the present, the past and as they always will be. In the beginning, all mankind were independent intelligences, or elements of light and truth, which are eternal and cannot be made. Each intelligence has agency to act for oneself. God selected those intelligences to become His children and they were given a Spirit body. He then prepared a plan for them to receive the fullness of His joy, which requires a temporal body. The glory of God is the host of intelligences who obey Him, obtaining exaltation, immortality and eternal life. We are thus commanded to set in order our house and teach our children light and truth. The First Presidency is rebuked and called to repentance. Satan is determined to destroy them, along with all of God's children. The First Presidency must repent, set their homes in order and hasten to complete the revising of the scriptures, the learning history, countries, kingdoms and the laws of God and man.
On February 21, 2022, 25-year-old Aaron Cody Fortner disappeared from Jackson County, North Carolina. At the time, he was staying at a property owned by his grandparents. He made a couple of phone calls to his grandparents in the early morning hours that seemed off, but they weren't sure what to make of it at the time. When Aaron's sister, Kourtney, spoke to her grandparents later that morning, they asked her if she had heard from him. She said she hadn't, and they proceeded to tell her about the phone calls. Kourtney was concerned enough to drive out and check on her brother. When she arrived, things didn't feel right. A door Aaron always kept locked for safety reasons was unlocked. Kourntey went inside, and Aaron was gone. One thing that stood out was that it was a mess. Just the day prior, their mother had visited, and everything was tidy.That left his family to wonder what happened between the time Aaron's mother last saw him and when he disappeared. Where could he have gone, and why did it seem like something had disrupted his world overnight? His family began calling Aaron's name, searching the surrounding area, and quickly contacted law enforcement to report him missing.More than three years have passed, and Aaron's loved ones are still searching. Along the way, they have uncovered strange and unsettling clues, but so far, none have led them to Aaron.If you have any information about the disappearance of Aaron Cody Fortner, please contact the Jackson County Sheriff's Office at (828) 586-8901 or the North Carolina State Bureau of Investigation's Western District at (828) 330-4700.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramTwitterPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This is a rebroadcast. The 1838 Mormon Missouri War remains a pivotal and often tragic chapter in Latter-day Saint history. We're revisiting an interview with Steven LeSueur, an esteemed historian and author of what is considered by many to be the definitive book on the conflict, "The 1838 Mormon War in Missouri.” LeSueur, who sadly passed away in July 2025, was remembered for his significant contributions to understanding this complex period. https://youtu.be/YGlNLnA9RIA Historian Behind the Book LeSueur, who lived in Arlington, Virginia, was not a full-time historian. He described his career primarily as a journalist, covering national defense issues, editing a technology magazine, and working as a freelance writer for businesses before his retirement. Despite this, his historical expertise was profound. His seminal book, published in 1987 by the University of Missouri Press, originated from his master's thesis in American history at George Mason University. His interest in Missouri history stemmed from early research work he did for Lamar Barrett at BYU in 1976-1977, immediately after graduating with his undergraduate history degree from BYU. This early work involved delving into diaries and letters to find references to "Adam's altar" (Adam-ondi-Ahman) and exploring various historical sites in Missouri. For his book, LeSueur conducted extensive research at the Library of Congress, Utah archives, and multiple trips to Missouri, even staying with prominent Community of Christ historian Bill Russell, who, along with Valeen Tippets Avery, reviewed his manuscript. LeSueur also lent his expertise to a documentary called "Trouble in Zion," where he was one of several "talking heads" discussing the Mormon experience in Missouri, sharing his interpretations of the events. Seeds of Conflict: Beyond Simple Blame LeSueur's approach to the Mormon Missouri War focuses on understanding how events unfolded, emphasizing a snowball effect of reactions rather than a grand conspiracy. While recognizing the immense suffering of the Mormons, he seeks to explain why Missourians reacted as they did. Key events & LeSueur's interpretations include: Jackson County Expulsion (1832): The Mormons were unjustly driven from Jackson County, having done nothing wrong. While a newspaper article about "Free People of Color" was a point of contention, LeSueur suggests Missourians' misinterpretation was likely driven by their deep-seated fear of anything perceived as attacking slavery, rather than solely as an excuse to expel Mormons. The Caldwell County Compromise (1836): After Mormons were driven from Jackson and found refuge in Clay County, Joseph Smith's plans for another military expedition prompted fearful Clay County citizens to propose creating a county exclusively for Mormons – Caldwell County. This was shepherded by Alexander Doniphan. The "Broken Agreement": Missourians largely believed that, in exchange for Caldwell County, Mormons had implicitly agreed to settle only there. LeSueur found no such agreement in Mormon sources, but Missourians, including Doniphan, clearly perceived it. For about a year and a half (late 1836 into 1838), relations were relatively peaceful, resting on this perceived agreement. Joseph Smith's Arrival and Mormon Expansion (March 1838): When Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon moved from Kirtland to Missouri, Far West (in Caldwell County) became the new gathering place, and plans for expansion beyond Caldwell into Davies (Adam-ondi-Ahman) and Carroll (Dewitt) counties began. This expansion, especially large-scale settlements, was seen by Missourians as breaking the agreement and triggered renewed protests. The Danites: This paramilitary organization was formed in June 1838, primarily by Samson Avard and others. Initially, their purpose was internal regulation, enforcing orthodoxy and the law of consecration among Mormons. They notably drove dissenters like Oliver Cowdery and the Whitmers from Fa...

Nearly 50 years ago, a Seattle juvenile court judge came up with the idea of using trained volunteers to appear in court to speak on behalf of abused and neglected children as a way to get more information about their individual cases. Today, nearly a thousand local Court Appointed Special Advocate programs exist in 49 states, including Oregon. CASA volunteers provide the court with regular updates about a child’s particular case and make recommendations about their placement, informed through monthly visits with the child and discussions with their teachers, counselors and others involved in their welfare. But meeting the growing need for CASAs in Oregon and the rest of the nation is getting tougher. In April, the national CASA organization announced the termination of federal grants totaling millions of dollars which would have been disbursed to state and local CASA programs. That’s in addition to the loss of a $1.7 million federal community project grant earmarked for Oregon’s 19 local CASA programs. Joining us to share their experiences are Amy Muñoz, who has been serving Jackson County as a CASA volunteer for seven years, and Rachel Robb, who was sworn in as a CASA volunteer serving Malheur County in January.

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [D&C 85-87]“Stand Ye in Holy Places”August 4 – August 10, 2025WEEK 32 SUMMARY=================Doctrine and Covenants sections 85–87, received between August and December 1832, were revealed to Joseph Smith during a formative period for the early Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, amidst challenges like persecution, internal dissension, and the organization of the growing church in Kirtland, Ohio, and Jackson County, Missouri. Section 85 addresses the importance of record-keeping and the consequences of unfaithfulness among those called to gather in Zion, emphasizing that only the obedient will receive their inheritance in the designated holy land. Section 86 interprets the parable of the wheat and tares, teaching that the righteous (wheat) will be gathered while the wicked (tares) will be destroyed at the Lord's coming, reinforcing the doctrine of divine judgment and the gathering of Israel. Section 87, a prophecy on war, foretells the American Civil War and other global conflicts, highlighting God's sovereignty over nations and the ultimate triumph of His kingdom, urging the Saints to prepare spiritually for turbulent times. These revelations provided doctrinal clarity and divine guidance for the early Saints navigating their role in establishing Zion amid external and internal trials.SPARK 1: PEACE BE STILL================OBJECT LESSON: “Thus Saith the Still Small Voice”: Haptics Phone AnalogySPARK 2: A HOUSE DIVIDED===================================OBJECT LESSON: “Let the Wheat and the Tares Grow Together”: Disappearing Tares TrickSPARK 3: STANDING STRONG=============================OBJECT LESSON: “Stand Ye in Holy Places”: Be Not Moved Battleship GamesCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:05:08 QUICK GLANCE00:08:46 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:19:12 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:24:02 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:25:57 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:33:37 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:38:28 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:40:19 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:49:46 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:55:03 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:57:16 WRAP UPLINKS=====WEB: https://www.gather.meckmom.comETSY: https://www.etsy.com/shop/meckmomINSTAGRAM: Instagram @meckmomlifePODCAST: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast...CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST DISCLAIMER=================================This podcast represents my own thoughts and opinions.

On a day www.fox4kc.com reports that if the Royals leave it will be Mayor Q's fault, we learn that Frank White has blown it again for Jackson County. If/when the Royals and Chiefs leave the sports complex, it will definitely be more of a Frank White problem than the mayor. In a recent letter to the governor, White offers to cut off the Royals completely AND lower the money the Chiefs get from a 3/8 cent sales tax. Between he two of them, it has to be over in Jackson County. I met a friend yesterday, not a conservative, and we had a chatty waiter. What happened when the waiter asked what I do for a living was an eye opening moment for the young man, if only he wanted to open his eyes.

The Kansas economy is ranked third to the bottom of states in the country, the first lady is helping Trump with his Russia policy and Lambert Field in St. Louis had a waiting line out the door almost to I-70 yesterday. In sports, the Big Dumper wins the home run derby, the Royals have the easiest schedule in the league the rest of the way and Fox Sports 1 fires almost everybody. Then, our Final Final is buyer beware if you're trying to become an extra on the set of Ted Lasso filming in KC.

Revelation Dates: March – April, 1832 Revelation Places: Hiram Ohio and Jackson County, Missouri Section 81 - Historical Background: This revelation was given originally to a relatively unknown person named Jesse Gause, to be a counsellor to Joseph Smith in the Presidency of the High Priesthood. However, Gause was unfaithful so he was replaced by Fredrick G. Williams. This Presidency was a forerunner to the “First Presidency” which was formally organized a year later, on March 18, 1833. When these revelations were published in 1835, section 81 was changed to omit the name of Jesse Gause and replace it with Frederick G. Williams. This section is more relevant to the calling of counsellor to the Prophet, his duties and the designation of priesthood keys to the First Presidency, than it is to an individual at the time the revelation was given; hence the name change to Gause's replacement, Frederick G. Williams. Recap: Frederick G. Williams to be called as a High Priest and counsellor to Joseph Smith in the Presidency of the High Priesthood, which Presidency shares the keys to the kingdom. Pray always, proclaim the gospel, promote Jesus Christ, be faithful, strengthen the weak. Section 82 - Historical Background: The mobs were so troublesome, that Joseph and Sidney left Hiram Ohio and travelled to Independence, Missouri where Joseph was joyfully welcomed by the saints in Zion. On April 26, 1832, Joseph held a church conference where he was sustained as the President of the High Priesthood. During the conference, Joseph received this revelation. Recap: The congregation is commanded to repent, for where much is given much is required. The Lord explains that the people ask for revelations and receive them, but then trample on their new knowledge. The Lord is bound to bless them when they are obedient, but when they are disobedient they have no promise. Zion must strengthen and enlarge her stakes. Every family leader is to be given a stewardship to improve the welfare of family and church. The Law of Consecration is a permanent and everlasting law of God. Make friends with your enemies and let God be their judge. Section 83 - Historical Background: After closing church conference in Independence, Joseph went to visit the settlement of the Colesville saints. They rejoiced with Joseph and expressed great love and support. Returning to Independence, Joseph received this revelation dealing with the responsibility in the church over women, children and the poor. Recap: All faithful women of the church have claim on their husband to provide for their needs. If the woman becomes unfaithful, she will not be included in the congregation, but she will still have legal rights to her stewardship. All children have claim upon their parents until they are of age. The bishop's storehouse will provide for the needs of widows, orphans and the poor.
