What can the struggles of early Saints teach us about faith and perseverance today? Dr. Matthew Godfrey explores the 1834 Zion’s Camp expedition and D&C 102-103, providing historical insights on the expulsion from Missouri, the creation of the Kirtland High Council, and the call to redeem Zion, while also drawing powerful modern parallels about unanswered prayers, prophetic counsel, and enduring faith.
