"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonald
https://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com

What if two of the most “revolutionary revelations” in Church History are two that we often overlook? Brother Thom Reed unpacks the Articles of Faith and Official Declaration 1 as bold, future-shaping revelations, from Joseph Smith’s visionary inclusiveness (with a surprise rap) to Wilford Woodruff’s courageous end to plural marriage to preserve temples and covenants.

"Let Zion in Her Beauty Rise" by Marshall McDonald
https://www.marshallmcdonaldmusic.com

Dr. Lori Motzkus Wilkinson unites the grief-born power of Doctrine and Covenants 138 with the forgotten writings of early Relief Society voices, showing how Joseph F. Smith’s vision overturned the “curse of Eve,” affirms women as among the “great and noble ones,” and issues a hope-filled call to temple and family history work.
