Episode notes

Nancy McCurdy, a 17-year-old girl from Nauvoo, Illinois, came to the church. Her family didn't want her in seminary because she smelled like cigarettes. Nancy stood up after hearing everybody and told them: "I'm going to join this church" She leaves her home; goes to Nauvoo where she meets the Prophet Joseph. That's how I come into the church because Nancy was willing to listen to humble testimony.

Dr. Scott Woodward explores Paul being the Lord’s messenger as the people become members of the new covenant and how the new congregations breach the various cultural and personal differences to become one people.
