Elder William Brewster was my 14th GGF…Stephen Hopkins 11th GGF …..Isaac Allerton ..13th GGF…

William Brewster, Thomas Rogers and Stephen Hopkins were some of my 12th great grandfather's. Family skuttlebutt was we were descendents of Mary Allerton - that folklore was bandied about for decades and I believed it until I set out to prove it. I still haven't found any evidence of Mary Allerton but found the others (and evidence of a lot of intermarrying between 1st and 2nd cousins on the Hopkins line too). 😳 I could have lived my whole life without that knowledge and been very happy to not know that. 🤢 I met a beautiful young man in high school when I was 16 years old. Our connection was strengthened by the fact we had both had moved 3000 miles away from home in Massachusetts where we were both born to Arizona; we'll be married 40 years in October. We recently discovered he too is a descent of Stephen Hopkins (and also Richard Warren) making us very distantly related. 😳 We share no DNA thankfully, but I would never have married someone even distantly related 400 years in the past had I known. You just never know who you are marrying really because after 2 DNA tests and an exhausting application process to the General Descends of the Mayflower Society later I've come to this conclusion: every person on this planet is distantly related, you just have to look back far enough in the family tree to find the connection. So ... howdy cousins! 👋

His Daughter Patience was my 9th great grandmother

My 10th Great Grandfather

A wonderful person also my GREATGRAND FATHER

Has this talk been written/transcribed? Does anyone know where I can find it?

He is my 11th Grate Grandfather

I attended one of the Institution’s classes back in the late 1980’s. I found it a complete waste of money as, they instead of teaching how to run a campaign, they instead taught dirty tricks/spying on your opponent.

Greg Murphy is an insurrectionalist who thinks a person should only have religious freedom if they happen to have very similar beliefs in the same God he does. Everything he does and says shows his opposition to the US and the Constitution.

Thank you for taking time to Commemorate the 400th Anniversary of the Pilgrims! Thank you for helping us renew our Covenant with God by showing our gratitude for those who have gone before and the opportunity to Pledge our Gratitude and Allegiance to God. I loved the quote from F. W. Boreham you shared: "When a wrong wants righting, or a work wants doing, or a truth wants preaching, or a continent wants opening, God sends a baby into the world to do it...." When you shared this, I couldn't help but think about how God our Father sent His own Beloved Son, Jesus Christ as a baby. So too does God send all His Children. Hense, we can see how Vital building and raising Families in Zion (for all those who righteously desire to follow God) can be!

I wish Church wards would quit teaching bland, generalized messages of "gratitude" annually in Nov. sacrament meetings, and instead recommend talks on how America was founded (1620), and how it was able to be the place where the Gospel was restored, as alluded to by Elder Callister. Pres. Hinckley gave several talks (not in GC) on the sacred trust and debt we owe to our pilgrim fathers, comparing their dedication to religious liberty with that of our early Church forefathers. (He, as I, found we had Mayflower descendants, which drives all this home even more poignantly.) There are a lot of parallels in the pilgrims' gradual journey from England to Plymouth Rock and the Saints' long "trek" from Palmyra to Utah. We should be highlighting them and learning from them.

It’s impossible to not recognize God’s hand in bringing about our country and its constitution. I’m grateful to God and the imperfect man willing to follow Him.

Can the church please bring back schools!

Rep. Virginia Foxx, a North Carolina Republican with an influential post on the House Committee on Oversight and Reform, has spent her Congressional career advocating against the legalization of marijuana - while also loading up on hundreds of thousands of dollars in marijuana-industry stocks ahead of crucial votes on key federal decriminalization measures, Salon has learned. Are a two faced politician??

This is freedom of Christianity, not freedom of *religion*. I am not surprised. Fairness is irrelevant in a Christian's eyes after all.

William Brewster is my 12 grand father

That's a message which the left worked hard to remove from our schools and they will fight to keep it that way.

Genocides' . of the true Americans . Mayflower massacre

I hate the Mayflower and everything that came from it.

Reporting this video for hate speech against the irreligious

So Tad, why did 2 apostles attack the only President who tried to adhere to God’s law in 40 years?

Inhofe and Lankford need to resign if they stand with the other GOP Senators on January 6, 2020. They are displaying disgusting behavior in regard to the Constitution.

Excellent talk!! the world needs to learn the lessons in this talk. I'm sorry that so many citizens of our country have been dooped into believing that our country is evil because our founding fathers were not perfect. I always thought, "What if I or you were called by God to do some great thing? What if I accomplished that great thing, and then someone tried to discredit it because they new me in HIgh School and remembered how goofy I was, or remembered that when I was younger I didn't always live Gospel standards.

Thank you Elder Callister, inspired and beautifully explained. Many of today's rights are because of our past recognized mistakes. If we erase our history, we deprive future generations of the opportunity to learn from our past. And if we remove God and religion from our society, we remove the very Foundation upon which our country and constitution was and is built.

is it possible to put all those ideas in a child friendly format? I feel like my kids NEED to have these thoughts, but how do I put them there? I doubt they would sit and listen to this...

A wonderful and powerful reminder that we need God in the public square!

Tad R Callister is brilliant. What a contribution he has made in defending truth. This is beautiful. Is it written out for our use?

Fun fact: per the Founding Fathers and confirmed in the Tripoli Treaty, America was NEVER established or intended to be established as a Christian nation. Nor a nation that as a whole subscribes to any other faith. Everyone has the freedom of religion to practice the faith of their choosing, or the freedom from religion to not practice one at all.

On my father's side, I am a direct descendant of the captain of the Mayflower Captain Jones. He did not remain in Plymouth however, on my mothers side, I am related to a passenger who did remain and settle in America. I am grateful for my brave ancestors who left everything for the hope of a free land to worship freely. I pray we will indeed be a natrion under God... I pray for this with all my heart and soul. I also pray God will hear the prayers of the righteous here in America, even if they be the minority currently. An interesting side note: on my father's side, my relatives continued to fight for freedom in America by serving as senators and judges.

Thank you so much for sharing all these moments of history from our founding fathers!! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸♥️

ITS TIME It’s TIME eMail these Traitors and let them know “We the People” are still here…….. www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm?State=CA

I was blesses by this video. Reminded me of a class that I had taken in Bible college many years ago. Thanks for the inspiration!!!!

What babies have been born this year of 2020, and how will God use them to bless his children all over the world?

I wasn't born in America, so to hear and get this amazing reminder about being an American, gives me a strong sense of joy and responsibility to defend our liberties we enjoy here.

Amen.

que bueno hna the bendiciones a su hna hno no conoco esoero conoserla

Preach👏👏👏

That's my Mission President

I love this so much!

I owe so much to my ancestors for blessings I now enjoy

Thank you for sharing! I live in an area being flooded by US citizens seeking religious freedom and a righteous area to raise their children. Ten minutes away, across a certain state border, there are hundreds of single family homes for sale. Into this state, a house goes on the market and it's gone in a day, for over the value. Refugees flooding in from religious and government oppression.

God's work will not be frustrated, only the work of men will.

💖💖💖

Wonderful talk. I agree with the principles taught in it. But to be clear, the phrase, "In God we trust" was added in 1956 and the words, "...under God..." were added in 1954. Both were done in response to the Atheist philosophy of the Soviets. They were inspired by the Cold War. To conflate them with the words of the Founding Fathers is not academically accurate.

YES!!! This video should be required for all seminary students next year when they are studying D&C! When I taught D&C a few years ago, I was SHOCKED by the lies our children are being taught in high school. Our founders were inspired and prepared by God to bring forth freedom for Heavenly Father's children and a nation of liberty so the Gospel of Jesus Christ could be restored.

Solid as always, thank you Tad Callister!!! What a beautiful talk and what courageous men and women behind the Mayflower Promise channel. Thank you!!

The more I hear this man the more I love and respect him.

Truth is spoken here!

Fabulous!!! Thank you ❤️

Thank you ❤️ Elder Callister!
