Do you mind listing the scriptures again where the Book of Mormon sites how they saw God from the brass plates record. I couldn’t find it in the Show notes.
Thanks so much I love your Podcast and recommend it to all

I also came to the show notes to look for that. Just commenting for emphasis.
I am so very grateful for y’all’s sacrifice of time and sharing of the collective knowledge and insight -it meets a deep need of mine.
I do have one concern which has been worrying me on occasion while listening: y’all reinforce an unspoken, degrading, toxic message which the Church is trying to correct: that Youth are less capable of great deeds, great Spirituality, and great effect on the world. I know y’all abhor that message. On the contrary, y’all are deliberate in building up the individual and shining a light on the great store of power in each human.
The specific is this: Periodically in podcasts, y’all pause and focus on the young age Joseph was when he received, translated, wrote, or did any deed. This automatically reinforces the counter message that Youth are expected to not have these qualities.
I understand your actual stated message: that it is near impossible for a person who did not have the benefit of years of study and access to libraries of scholastic learning to have produced such Works. I am not requesting that y’all remove that message -it would be counterproductive to spend precious time striving to censure your lessons to address every listeners’ concerns. I just want to provide info of an unsaid message in case it may get of benefit.
Rusty, thanks for the feedback. We certainly do not want any of our youth to ever think that they cannot access the powers of heaven. To the contrary, the Lord and his spirit are available to all. Thanks for listening and for your evaluation of this work.
