Backstories On The Kirtland Temple

[@enjoythejourney-823]

Too fun!!! I just shared this with David Alexander to hear what he says! I love it! We are all Born Again, Charismatic, Evangelical, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints!!!

[@saragroves4103]

I'm fascinated with Brother Hewlett's recollection of the Kirtland Era! Though I live in Utah, for the past 3 years I was born and raised in Ohio, not far from the Kirkland area. When I learned of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter- day Saints (in the southern part of Ohio, I couldn't wait to visit Kirtland. With it only being a 4-5 hour drive, I made many trips to Kirtland! I remember all that he said about the major roads that we had to cross between the Newell K Whitney store and the Newell K Whitney home. I saw the change after the purchase. I remember the Steve Young incident. I had an opportunity to attend a Fast and Testimony meeting in the Kirtland Temple! My institute Instructor told about visiting the Newell K. Whitney store while it was being renovated after the Church's purchase! So many wonderful memories of that area! I remember the arsen fire of the Stake Center (number 10 of 10 arson fires in the area) and that the Family History portion of the building was not harmed! Carl Anderson came to our little Branch building in Xenia, Ohio to speak to us. Much later his son, Joel and his family moved into our ward and is now the Bishop of the fairly newly formed Beavercreek 2nd ward. I gave Joel a picture I took of his dad, Carl and President Benson at the ground breaking of the Hiram, Ohio Branch on the John Johnson farm! I treasure hearing Brother Hewett's remarks! Thank you for sharing!❤

My grandfather helped restore the Whitney store in the 80's.

[@speakingscripts]

Truly glorious. Life is glorious beyond description!

[@DONTLIMITGOD]

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EPISODE!

[@libertylady208]

Thanks for all the great content you provide. It really has enriched my days.

[@CwicShow]

Love hearing that.

[@lapiccolanonnina9801]

That was an awesome conversation! Thank you Greg and Hewlett!

[@lindanelsen1621]

Hi Gregg and John. I wanted to share a thought from a friend of mine. He was talking about enduring to the end. We've changed it to "enjoy" to the end!! And JOY represents Jesus, Others, Yourself. Thanks for such great content

[@speakingscripts]

This video should be added to the Standard Works!!! Keep 'em coming!!!!

[@BSRonly]

I love Kirtland. My daughter lives in Mentor so we've been there many times. Loved this show. Such good information. I've just recently found your show. Thank you.

[@annroe1088]

I know Don Brewer. II rented a house from him and lived in his ward at the time. I love the Brewer family. Thank you for this wonderful story.

[@palmdoggy155]

I loved him too! Great family!

[@mlg74]

This guy is right on. Loved listening to him. and now I want to buy some cardio miracle!

[@-Ibidugoodbye]

So great to hear the backstories. Karl Anderson was my sweet Stake President in the 70's. Had 3 brothers attending the Kirtland Ward when it burned down. Otherwise, lots of wonderful people and good memories ❤

[@Choralzap]

Going to listen to this one again! Thanks

[@stephengriffin4612]

Dear Greg, Maybe you recall that I am not LDS but I really enjoyed this episode. I had seen the program before and, as so many of your programs are so positive, even non-LDS folk, can appreciate the happy story and the telling of it. A poem that I know many LDS have read is Wordsworth's " Intimations of Immortality", in which Wordsworth speaks about a pre-existing life. The overall theme is that the further you get away from birth the initial gifts, trailing clouds of glory, diminish or darken, much like his loss of the poetic gift. It is a lovely poem, all should read it Steve

[@CwicShow]

thanks Steve!

[@juliabendixen2184]

What wonderful miracles to bring all this about and what a wonderful story . Thank you so much for sharing!

[@livinthedream4479]

Nice interview. I love the way John has all the right words to say to people about His beliefs. I get all tongue tied hen I try to explain it.

[@burlingtonbill1]

Exactly! But I get the sense that he has PRACTICED this introduction on 100's of people in his fundraising & public relations work ! It would come easier for any of us if we did that, as well.

[@l.chrisjones7775]

I just had a conversation with someone the other day who was raised in a traditional Christian faith of the Trinity. And he expressed himself he had a hard time believing that God the father, the son Jesus Chris, and the holy Ghost were one person. I explained what we believed as far as the nature of the godhead and it lined up with what he felt was right.

[@palmdoggy155]

Absolutely love this. I’ve heard every one of these stories. I have a signed copy of Don Brewers dream. I was a missionary there in 2000. Look how far we’ve come!!?

[@JLone55]

Mr Hewlett is an interesting guy. Not sure I’m following his charismatic evangelist take, but I I never knew the stories on Pres Benson, Steve Young, etc! Would love to know more stories like this. More restoration stories and/or a live stream from Kirtland could be cool!

[@mp112501]

Awesome stories. I am looking forward to returning to Kirtland

[@studerje]

Love stories like this!

[@marilynwatene1480]

When discussing the gospel with other faiths, I love to ask them if they believe in eternal life. I ask them what that means. Then I ask them, "If life is eternal, doesn't that follow that we were somewhere BEFORE we had our mortal earth experience"?

[@BarbieHitsBack]

I loved listening to this… two good men!

[@jacbox3889]

The man who made the 100 million offer is a collector of Church History from 1844 back. He has one of Emma Hymn books, which has a higher price than an original Book of Mormon. He has multiple original Nauvoo Sun Stones. That he was awarded after a lawsuit with the Church. I think he has something like 200,000 artifacts. Interesting guy. He is a Strangite and lives in Independance MO. You should interview him for the show.

[@daviddrysdale8882]

John Hajicek...

[@ClintThomsen]

I watched some videos he appeared in. Seems like a total jackwagon.

[@christinepinkston]

I lived in the Cleveland area for 8 years where my father In law worked with Karl Anderson and everything you said about him is accurate and I was so glad to “hear the rest of the story” thanks

[@JJBrown-lw1dv]

Great to hear this background.

[@bumpercoach]

yes... thank you for CORRECTING the tendency to say "D&C" when its only meant as a convenience for writing/printing NOT speaking when we should say "Doctrine and Covenants" So much great stuff in this much appreciated follow up

[@ClintThomsen]

I love it. An interfaith-oriented guy who isn’t afraid to defend the faith and draw clear distinctions.

[@Ryo_Dragon]

Who would that thought Steve Young help facilitate the Restoration of Kirkland. Thanks

[@debbienicholson8389]

I was raised in and live in Cleveland, TN. This is the birthplace and headquarters for the Church of God and Church of God of Prophecy. However, there's more Baptist here than anything. With all that said... since I was a young child (I'm 55yo now) I've had to explain our belief of the Godhead over and over and over...I'm in discussions now with some young men that go to Lee University (the Church of God's equivalent to BYU). If you ever need to exercise your ability to listen, explain, and react to people who are firm in their beliefs and challenge yours... come visit me here in SE Tennessee!! ❤ I LOVED this discussion! Thank you both!!

[@MLeib56]

You can tell Brother Hewlett LOVES missionary work. He comes to conclusions I've reached when I share my testimony.

[@BettyHorn]

Awesome guest! Thanks!

[@Lyndieloop]

We might not have coffee and donuts but we are an endless supply of cookies!

[@Randyw1111]

This dude can talk!

[@barb7014]

I love this so much! ❤

[@CwicShow]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@tinacarvalhoBodyandHealth]

All these details help the heart encourage the sellers see God's hand

[@robertthompson3447]

"where are they going to go?" Quick story from my mission: a certain family left the church for another church because "Tithing should not be requirement to go to the temple." I often wondered if their new church ever let them go to the temple. 😅

[@studerje]

27:03 I find this description very interesting.

[@dalanandrews166]

Ward Radio interviewed the individual who offered well over $100 million. Can't remember his name right now, but he belongs to the Strangite church. He has over one million church artifacts.

[@daviddrysdale8882]

His name is John Hajicek...

[@Ily779]

You seem like such a great person! 3rd Nephi when Christ visits the people in the America after his resurrection is my favorite. ❤️ I hope you’ll keep reading, this book will help give you peace. Best wishes!

[@shirleysmith9353]

He was a spirit body for three days after he was crucified, then he was resurrected and his spirit returned to his resurrected body.

[@davidwatts1791]

Which version/translation of the Bible is superior? Does he also think it is superior to the JST Bible?

[@CwicShow]

No, I wouldn't think so. But I often pull from the NIV myself to get some context. But I'll never leave the KJV.

[@ClintThomsen]

Wow, that cardio miracle is not cheap 😬

[@CwicShow]

It works because it’s the real stuff.

[@ClintThomsen]

@@CwicShow I get that. I’m gonna need to get a lot less healthy or a lot more wealthy for that to be a possibility. Those prices are outrageous.

[@comocardio]

About a dollar fifty a serving is outrageous for 50 plus ingredients , plant and organic, replacing most supplements people are taking? Bottled water is 7 dollars at the airport, 2-3dollars at Gas station, smoothies 7-10 dollars, big gulps 2 dollars. Quality is quality, check the number of servings per package and do the math, it is a great value. We also have a referral program to reduce cost. The price of poor quality in any purchase does not compare with real value that gets real results. One’s life and health should be a high priority. Money back guarantee, most products don’t offer that type of use it for a couple of months, consume it all, then decide. Thousands are thrilled with the product.

[@wayneorr6748]

They need to protect. The Nauvoo temple

[@helenstephens7553]

we have a echo

[@wayneorr6748]

Hat did Christ do with his body when he returned to a non form something? I can’t wrap my mind around it.

[@elainekoeppel7250]

This will be why when we get to heaven God will say that they never knew HIM or that HE never knew them

[@rconger24]

Can you convince me that *_you_* know Him? What are your fruits that we should follow *_you_* ?

[@lindamartinez7006]

Read doctrine and covenants 117

[@rachelthacker9030]

The $100M offer came from John Hajicek, a Strang-ite.

[@lindamartinez7006]

I thought only Joseph Smith and Sidney Rigdon saw god and Jesus ??

[@dianemiller6540]

I’m reading Karl Ricks Anderson’s book, The Savior in Kirtland and am blown away by the number of personal accounts of divine manifestations that happened in Kirtland. Not just Sidney Rigdon with Joseph - seeing the Savior and God the Father.

[@dianemiller6540]

Also - if you would like to see Brother Karl Ricks Anderson talk about The Savior in Kirtland, there’s a video on KZbin on Doctrine and Covenants Central that you can watch. It’s great!

[@TheyWereInOne]

The the video by Karl Anderson, The Savior in Kirtland, he tells the following: kzbin.info/www/bejne/hqusZaWVidBsrdE • Joseph saw the Savior in vision 11 times, more than anywhere else on record. • The Father and the Son appeared 7 times in vision to Joseph Smith. • 23 others saw the Savior that were documented. • Secondary witnesses of over 200 people who didn’t see the Savior, but sat in the room where others saw the Savior and felt the glory

[@longfellowmarketing4192]

Thanks for this, fascinating info on Kirkland! Your guest was fascinating (and the ultimate Boomer … meant positively 😉) and had a lot of good information. He truly understands Protestant Evangelicalism. His knowledge of the Creeds, the Trinity and (pre-Protestant) church history, however, is just, well, just awful. He can’t even get the name of the “Apostle’s” creed straight. He should learn something about Orthodoxy and also about (christian) church history. Christian history pre-dates Luther by 1500 years and Catholics by a 1000. Anyone LDS who researches Orthodoxy will find it strangely foreign but also strangely familiar. Thanks again for your amazing channel, Greg!

[@comocardio]

Just a freelance guest. Certainly not a historian on pre-Protestant events specifically, just a generalist on the Restoration , and a fierce advocate of spiritual gifts in our time, power in the Priesthood, and fr some reason fortunate to assist in small ways in some of the latter day fundraising efforts. Now very involved with our Evangelical Christian brothers and sisters . The ones I deal with, are extraordinary examples in many ways .

[@longfellowmarketing4192]

You’re a good man, brother Hewlett, and God is obviously using you in many great ways. Thanks for educating us on Kirkland!

[@davidwatts1791]

Or neither priesthood is authentic. Both cannot be authentic, either might be authentic, or neither can be authentic.

[@spinners5460]

Big echo…..

[@CwicShow]

Not sure where that is coming from. I didn't notice this while recording.

[@livinthedream4479]

It’s just John’s microphone is so good. Not really an echo.

[@elainekoeppel7250]

Because they don’t know how to pray to God

[@rconger24]

Have you in person ever seen them pray?

[@WatticusGameTime]

President Benson removed the "curse"... Fascinating story. I am surprised the Prophets don't use their power and authority to perform such miracles more often... Seems dubious at best... Sorry, but i dont buy it. Thanks Greg for allowing him to share his stories. I'm certain there are lots of true parts in his recollections. Curse removal is a bit of a whopper for me to bite on. 😂

[@rconger24]

Would you have them impose their own wills or have them wait for the will of God?

[@nancylowe2692]

Great program! And I want to try CardioMiracle!❤❤❤
