The overwhelming peculiarity is I was obsessed with the debates about The LDS on YT show Heart of The Matter.
Sean McCraney.
But I could not help from so many LDS members being so pure, and reconcile that.
So I decided to hear the other side.
Truman G. Madsens' well researched oratory skills, heralded with such zeal and Christ Like Humility, brought me to finally start reading The BofM.
Today, I set foot into the Church.
And I wept.
I am speechless !
What a lovely testament to the power of the word of God. Thank you for sharing your experience! I hope you find joy in your new journey. ♡
Love it, brother!
Thank you for your testimony brother!
Dean thank you for sharing, that brought joy to even my heart to hear that you come to church. That is good news. I am so grateful you did your research. Please don't stop looking for truth. Repentance and Truth of Our Savior Jesus Christ , that is the way we all had to find the truth by asking and searching. I pray that your journey end of Gospel of Jesus Christ and in the church will blossom to Greater Heights.
Your experience sounds awesome, Dean! I hope that today, a year later, you still feel the same delight and you still feel the Holy Ghost when you attend Church and read the Book of Mormon.
I knew his sister, Bridget McCraney, when I was young adult age. She was always a sweet and beautiful girl. She occasionally used to drive several miles out of her way to give me a ride home from Church when I didn’t have a car for many months. Years later, when, by happenstance, I learned of her brother, Sean, I felt really sorry for her! But I felt even sorrier for her parents, whom I met a few times. Imagine having a deep and sincere testimony of the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon and of the truthfulness of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and suffering with a son like Sean McCraney, who, being an apostate, doesn’t just quietly disagree with his parents and the doctrine of the Church, but that he also needs, somehow, to use tv and social media so that he can also be sure to lead others astray!! Wow! …I do hope he repents someday. It seems like, fortunately for him, when he finally does, his parents and siblings are the loving kind of people who will forgive him!
I have never heard these lectures before . I do love every minute listening.
I loved listening to these lectures as a missionary. They increased my love for Joseph Smith. Thanks for uploading.
That was me too. I remember going on long drives to get to the proselyting work for the day with these lectures playing on the car radio.
That is me as well. This was the water used to nurish the seeds of faith planted in a young missionary. Listening again brings back the same spirit.

@@utefan123, this is called turning your car into a classroom on wheels. You will be blessed and well rewarded for this.
I discovered these also on my mission. They are a my favourite lectures to listen to ❤ Thank you!!
Truman I really miss you. I count it a great honor that we are friends and I look forward to seeing you on the other side of the veil.
Since our study is the Doctrine and Covenants and Church history this year, I’m revisiting these lectures. They are great!
Praise to Jehovah who communed with the man 🙏
What I enjoy most about this series of lectures is the deeper detail and description of the people, events and era spoken about.
I so look forward to meeting Joseph.
Wonderful lecture, powerful truths, insightful comments by Truman Madsen, could listen to him all day!
I'm currently preparing to go on my mission. In the few months since July of this year (2023), I have learned so much. I have grown in mind and spirit, and I can't deny my experiences. I have discovered things that I never knew, my eyes have been opened to the wonders of God, and my testimony will endure to the end of my life.
So glad these are available. I enjoy listening to the insights and knowledge.
So well taught. The Spirit is so strong as he shares his testimony of the Prophet. I have come back for another round of these lectures. God is good!
That was truly incredible. Loved it so much. I love my Father in Heaven and my Saviour and Joseph are my heroes. The Holy Ghost! Where would I be without him.
I’m so thankful I am a part of this gospel of Jesus Christ
I had the pleasure to have bro. Madsen as my New Testament professor the Y. He was an awesome teacher.
That was excellent. When you read first hand accounts of Joseph Smith by those closest to him, you realize these conflicting stories of his character are not in keeping with what those who knew him best say. I take the courtroom approach - if it isn't a first hand account, it is hearsay and not admissible.
Well truth holder the evidences on the table even in a court of law. There are many writings that confirmed the evidence. I confirm Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God and no one else could denying it in a court of law. They have tried several different times try this case. How many more times will people put him on trial for the same charge. It doesn't matter how much time you spend slicing and dicing evidence , the truth will set you free. We have had too many people that have spent way too much time trying to destroy one man and one God and God to continue his mighty work Earth.
I first heard these in the late 80's. I will be referring to these lectures in the coming months.
Every time I think of the Prophet Joseph I sigh, am at a loss for words, and tears stream down my eyes. I am not yet LDS, but am wondering if I should be.
Epic having the resource of these videos on this channel.
HOSANNA HOSANNA PRAISE TO THE MAN
And, praise to our Savior and His Father!
Great to hear this again. Thank you.
43:11
Somewhere the prophet(Joseph Smith Jr.) says, "The one thing that the adversary cannot duplicate, is the witness and power of the Holy Ghost. When that is upon us there is assurance, even greater than sight."
-Truman G Madson (in Joseph Smith Lecture 1)
❤
Amen!
Christ's warning about false prophets did not state that ALL prophets would be false, for the system of prophets and apostles was to perpetuate (and did) after Christ’s departure - Mat. 17:15, 1 Cor. 12:27-28, Acts 13:1, Acts 11:28-30
Additionally, the warning of false prophets implies there would be true prophets otherwise he would of warned of any prophet.
I wish to clarify something just because Truman Madsen is a friend of mine doesn't add value to me as an individual let that be perfectly clear
Likeness 21:30
❤❤❤❤❤
31:50 other prophet's were physically weak after visiting with the Lord. Moses comes to mind.
