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

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!❤

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!!!

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.

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 ❤

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!!

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

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.

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.

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!

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

ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS EPISODE!

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"?

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

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

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.

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.

Going to listen to this one again! Thanks

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!!?

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

I loved listening to this… two good men!

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

Awesome stories. I am looking forward to returning to Kirtland

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

Love stories like this!

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

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

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

I love this so much! ❤

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

Great to hear this background.

This dude can talk!

"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. 😅

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.

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

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

Awesome guest! Thanks!

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!

27:03 I find this description very interesting.

They need to protect. The Nauvoo temple

Wow, that cardio miracle is not cheap 😬

we have a echo

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

Since Brigham was the very one that prepared the Temple ordinances and Endowment ceremony as directed by Joseph, and kept them from being lost -- can I believe Brigham's doctrine that in the creation Jehovah and Michael were RESURRECTED Beings from a previous earth, and that Michael was the Father of spirits for this earth, Jesus being his firstborn Spirit? Or is it apostasy to believe doctrines that Brigham taught that later apostles rejected and changed?

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!

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

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

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

Read doctrine and covenants 117

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

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

Big echo…..

Because they don’t know how to pray to God

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. 😂

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