Becoming Brigham Episode 11: In Search of a Prophet

In this episode our hosts dive deeper into Brigham Young’s dramatic first meeting with the Prophet Joseph Smith, and highlight a surprising detail: Brigham was not immediately welcomed into Joseph’s inner circle or invited to stay in Kirtland. Our hosts also explore Brigham’s remarkable humility, obedience, and his lifelong, deeply personal devotion to Joseph. Provocative questions addressed: Did Joseph Smith prophesy that Brigham Young would one day lead the Church—and how did that affect Brigham? Why didn’t Joseph immediately bring this impressive new convert into his inner circle, even after such a powerful spiritual experience?
