In "Beyond Come Follow Me", I tell the Church history stories that relate to this week's Come Follow Me lessons. Knowing what was going on in Church history at the time, and what Joseph was praying for, can really help the revelations come to life, and help them become applicable to our own lives.

In this week’s episode of Beyond Come Follow Me, I share the interesting background story of how the document came about, and how it further proves the blessing of having a living prophet. Plus, I share the stories of the Saints leaving Nauvoo and heading West.
