Jerry Grover walks in with a theory meant to end the shouting match.Joseph and Oliver said they used the **interpreters** the whole time. Emma, David Whitmer, and others talk about the **brown seer stone** after the 116 pages. Historians pick a side. Jerry’s riff: **maybe both were in the hat.**In this episode with Chris Blythe and Brad Whitbeck:- Interpreters first, curtain first — then the hat- Why the switch may have come from the lost 116 pages (skins over the face)- One interpreter stone + Joseph’s own stone- “Gift and power of God” covers both tools- What **Gazalem** might actually name- The brown stone is banded iron formation — not dinosaur gizzard- How a Wyoming-looking rock ended up 25 feet down in New York- Provenance: Oliver → Phineas Young fight → Brigham → the Church- Is *this* the stone, or one from the donated box?- Don Bradley and Jerry hunting the white seer stone in a developed hot spring- Why seminary “lied to me” is usually human error, not a conspiracyIf this kind of speculation shakes you, the episode says it out loud: **your faith was never supposed to live in the geology of one rock.**#SeerStone #BookOfMormon #JosephSmith #WardRadioGot it.

Ryan Wood read the Joseph Smith Papers as they came out. Buried in the Revelation Books — the same books printers used for the Doctrine and Covenants — is a song given by the gift of tongues in the **Adamic / “pure” language**, then translated into English.With **Dr. Christopher Blythe** (Joseph Smith Papers), Brad Whitbeck, Adam Whitbeck, and Kwaku:- The 1833 “Song by the Gift of Tongues”- Why it never made the published D&C (it’s basically a psalm)- David W.

Tonight Lisa Keller, community organizer from Idaho, joins Cardon Ellis and Brittany Ellis in the Ward Radio Wig-Wam to update us on the latest from Idaho!

Patrick Bet-David and Tony Robbins sat down to talk about America’s future — and walked straight into Mormon missions.Robbins: a **belief is a poor substitute for an experience.** PBD: send the kids out so they stop taking America for granted.This reaction episode is about why that only works when it’s undergirded by faith.- Not a weekend orphanage trip. Two years. Local currency. Local food. Local buses.- Language in six weeks — the clip even nods at how the FBI noticed- Why a secular “national service” still won’t do what Jews and Mormons do- Meaning in every relationship: premortal, mortal, eternal- Forgiveness as the thing that actually repairs a country- Stop acting like the underdog. The people building things keep saying the same line: *those Mormons figured it out.*Be loud. Be proud. They already want what you have.Original PBD / Robbins clip linked in the description.#TonyRobbins #PatrickBetDavid #LDSMission #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – PBD and Robbins: Mormons figured this out 2:20 – Missions, languages, and Nick Shirley 4:50 – “Belief is a poor substitute for experience” 8:35 – Why America can’t copy Jews and Mormons 11:30 – Meaning in every relationship 14:20 – Made to give, not just get 17:15 – Stop playing the underdog 20:30 – Sponsors + Brother Joseph Again screeningBecome a member of this channel to get early access to videos and members only content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinSupport the channel by purchasing equipment to help make content through our Amazon Wish List (please write a limerick in the "gist notes" and we will read it on the show!): https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareTo order Ward Radio Branded "merch", please visit: https://www.wardradio.com/category/all-products For this and more, please visit: WardRadio.comNow go do your ministering!

1869. The Salt Lake Temple is barely out of the ground. And the Saints are printing **First Nephi in a brand-new alphabet**.The **Deseret Alphabet** was Brigham Young’s phonetic rewrite of English — no silent letters, no exceptions. *Tough* is just **TUF**. Immigrants were supposed to learn English faster. Schoolchildren got primers. Apostles like Parley P. Pratt were on the committee.It flopped.English speakers didn’t want a new alphabet. Printing was expensive. Only **four** books were ever produced. Flooded basements wrecked a lot of the rest.The irony Reid Moon drops in this episode: **more people use the Deseret font today than ever used it in the 1800s.**Reid brings an original 1868–69 Deseret Reader into the studio — three witnesses page, pronunciation key, the real artifact — and walks through:- What the alphabet was *for* (schools, not Adamic code)- Why it wasn’t a Kirtland cipher- Why a complete Deseret Book of Mormon is still one of the most affordable 19th-century LDS collectibles- Two original readers heading to the Ward Radio merch storeA failed language. A real piece of Utah history.
