Here is my JWHA recap 2025! I'll show photos and give my reactions to the award winners! Check it out! Don't miss our other Tangent Trips! https://gospeltangents.com/mormon_history/gt-trips/ Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved https://youtu.be/NL_LkWQBApk Fresh off the plane from Kansas City, I wanted to share a recap of my fantastic, albeit hectic, week at the John Whitmer Historical Association (JWHA) meetings in Independence. It's been a whirlwind of travel lately—from Atlanta to Canada and then straight to JWHA—but the experience was absolutely worth it. Honoring Legends and Celebrating New Works The awards ceremony was a major highlight, celebrating the brilliant minds in Mormon History. A truly special moment was seeing Mark Staker, this year's JWHA president, present Grant McMurray with a Lifetime Achievement Award. Grant, a former president of the Community of Christ and one of the founders of JWHA 50 years ago, was in high spirits despite being in a wheelchair, which I hadn't seen before. He joked that with a Lifetime Achievement Award, he didn't need to do anything else in his life, which got a good laugh from everyone. Congratulations are also in order for several other award winners: Matt Harris, the incoming JWHA president, deservedly won the Best Book Award for his incredible book, Second Class Saints. It was great to see him presented with the award. His mother attended the conference too! Jason Smith, who runs the JWHA podcast, received the Excellence in Leadership award. Cristina Gagliano (formerly Rosetti) won Best Biography for her book on Mormon fundamentalist Joseph White Musser. William Perez won for his article "Unholy Waters," and Ryan Davis won for his work on Mormon missionaries and popular music in Spain. Katie Rich and Heather Sundahl were recognized for their work on 50 Years of Exponent II. Katie Rich is clearly an impressive historian who has slipped under my radar, and I need to get her on the podcast soon!. JWHA Recap: Presentations, Pictures, and People The conference was packed with fascinating people and presentations. I had the opportunity to present with Mark Tensmeyer and Amanda Hendrix-Komoto on Joseph Smith's polygamy and the statistical question of how many children he should have had. We're hoping to get a group together for a follow-up discussion soon. Unfortunately, due to scheduling conflicts, I missed several presentations I was eager to see, including those by Kyle Beshears (my favorite Baptist pastor), my good friend Newell Bringhurst, Ganesh Cherian, and Jared Halverson. Kyle, an expert on James Strang, was even passing out hilarious Nintendo 64-style stickers of Strang. It was a joy to reconnect with so many friends and colleagues, including: My friend Matt Turner, who helped me with a walking tour of Independence a few years ago. Historians and authors like Alex Baugh, Brian Hales, Craig Foster, and Mark Scherer. Representatives from various restoration groups, which is what makes Whitmer so unique. I chatted with Wayne, a Seventy in the Bickertonite Church, and John Hajicek, who follows James Strang's legacy. Special Interview and a Look Ahead One of the most exciting parts of the trip was interviewing Stassi Cramm, the first female prophet of the Community of Christ. The interview took place this morning, and I'm hoping to edit and post it this weekend, so keep an eye out for that! I also had the pleasure of meeting other leaders from the Community of Christ, including Bunda Chibwe of the First Presidency. We also took a fascinating tour led by Matt Harris to Topeka, Kansas, to visit the elementary school of Linda Brown from the landmark Brown v. Board of Education Supreme Court case. Now a museum run by the National Park Service, it was a powerful experience to see the history firsthand. For those planning ahead, next year's JWHA conference will be in Council Bluffs, Iowa,

Our Mothers Knew It with Maria EckersleyA Creative Study of Come, Follow MeD&C [D&C 67-70]“Worth … the Riches of the Whole Earth”June 23 – June 29, 2025WEEK 26 SUMMARY=================In Doctrine and Covenants sections 67 to 70, the Lord addresses several key issues with early Church leaders. Section 67 encourages the brethren to have faith and not fear, promising that they can receive a spiritual witness of the revelations. Section 68 provides guidance on the duties of Church leaders and the importance of teaching children the gospel. Section 69 instructs John Whitmer to accompany Oliver Cowdery to Missouri to ensure the safe delivery of important Church documents. Finally, Section 70 establishes the Literary Firm, assigning stewardship over the publication of revelations and emphasizing the importance of consecration and equality among the members involved. These sections collectively emphasize faith, leadership responsibilities, and the management of Church resources.SPARK 1: DRAW NEAR UNTO ME================OBJECT LESSON: “You Shall See me and Know That I Am”: Two-Way MirrorSPARK 2: TRUE AND FAITHFUL===================================OBJECT LESSON: “Whatsoever They Shall Speak … Shall Be Scripture”: Understanding the Canon QuadSPARK 3: SOUL, HEART, AND HAND=============================OBJECT LESSON: “They Shall Also Teach Their Children”: Water Transfer ChallengeCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:06:07 QUICK GLANCE00:09:23 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:20:07 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:23:58 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:25:59 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:31:31 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:36:37 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:38:35 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:46:04 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:49:17 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:51:41 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.

David Hocking has put together several Annotated Scriptures. We'll discuss his latest book, which is sort of an Annotated Doctrine & Covenants. It is called "The Revelations of Joseph Smith." We'll also discuss his previous books, and dive into revelations on the coming forth of the Book of Mormon & the Church of Christ. Check out our conversation... https://youtu.be/JjvC2RZtJrM Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission David Hocking, described as a "scripture publisher" and editor, who is known for reformatting traditional scriptural texts to help readers engage with them more smoothly. By taking the existing text and applying specific elements and styles, Hocking aims to guide the reader and provide additional context and research. His books are often described as a "studied" version of the scripture. Hocking's process involves doing research on words or phrases that appeal to him, highlighting them in a gold color, and then providing additional information in a golden shaded box at the bottom of the page. His journey in scripture publishing began in the '90s when he started reformatting the Book of Mormon for his own use. This eventually led to the Annotated Edition of the Book of Mormon, which incorporated research, including information from the Heartland perspective. This book has been quite successful, with close to 40,000 copies sold and is available through Deseret Book. Following the Book of Mormon, Hocking worked on the Book of Jasher. He clarified that "Jasher" is a title, "Sephur Hayasher," meaning "the book of the upright," and the proper spelling should be Yashar. Interestingly, he notes that there are excerpts of the Book of Jasher in the Book of Mormon, brought over on the plates of brass. This led to a brief discussion on the language of the Book of Mormon, suggesting that Nephi likely learned Demotic Egyptian, a condensed, script-like form, in addition to Hebrew, and that "reformed Egyptian" might refer to a reformed Demotic Egyptian. He also touched on the difference between the Anthon Transcript (described by Martin Harris) and the Caracters Document in John Whitmer's handwriting (which the Church has recently acquired). He noted that handwriting analysis, specifically looking at the cursive "D" with a flourish common in German script, can help identify scribes like John Whitmer in early documents, including sections of the Book of Mormon original manuscript and the Revelation books. He also offered a perspective on the two sets of witnesses (three spiritual, eight physical) and the possibility they saw different sets of plates (the plates in the stone box vs. plates in a repository, potentially the small plates used to replace the lost Book of Lehi pages)10. Other books Hocking has edited include the Book of Isaiah, undertaken as part of the "11th commandment" to diligently search Isaiah. He sent a copy to Dr. Avraham Gileadi, a prominent LDS Isaiah scholar, who liked it. (Incidentally, the host mentioned NT Wright would be speaking on Isaiah in Houston, Texas). Hocking also worked on the Joseph Smith Translation (JST) of the New Testament. For this, he put Joseph Smith's contributions in brackets, using the 1867 first edition text. He mentioned that the Church itself is likely to release a fully done version of the JST in the coming years. He has a new version of his JST New Testament coming out soon as a red-letter edition. He noted that while red-letter Bibles (where the words of Christ are in red) are common elsewhere, they are less familiar in Utah. Another critical project was the Book of Enoch, which he believes explains why Enoch is an important figure and why the Lord referred to him in Moses 6 & 7 and D&C 107. He suggests that Joseph Smith himself became a modern-day Enoch, teaching and building a city of righteousness/Zion. Hocking's latest book,

It also highlights the importance of spiritual gifts and encourages seeking them for the benefit of all. In D&C 47, John Whitmer is called to keep a historical record of the Church, signify the importance of documentation and record-keeping. Lastly, D&C 48 instructs the saints on acquiring land in Ohio as they gather in the area, reinforcing the importance of unity and preparation in building the Church community.SPARK 1: A DELICATE WEAVE================OBJECT LESSON: “That All May Be Profited Thereby”: Spiritual Gifts LoomEtsy Printable Link: [COMING SOON]SPARK 2: THINGS AS THEY REALLY ARE===================================OBJECT LESSON: “To Others The Discerning of Spirits ”: Blanket GameSPARK 3: FOR THE PRESENT TIME=============================OBJECT LESSON: “Write and Keep a Regular History”: High and Low JournalsCHAPTERS=========00:00:14 INTRO00:003:26 QUICK GLANCE00:06:59 SPARK 1 INSIGHTS00:15:51 SPARK 1 OBJECT LESSON00:19:48 SPARK 1 QUESTIONS00:21:59 SPARK 2 INSIGHTS00:30:54 SPARK 2 OBJECT LESSON00:36:52 SPARK 2 QUESTIONS00:39:57 SPARK 3 INSIGHTS00:47:56 SPARK 3 OBJECT LESSON00:52:04 SPARK 3 QUESTIONS00:54:32 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.
