Becoming Brigham Episode 13: Joseph, Joseph, Joseph!
Monday, 20 April, 2026
In this episode the hosts explore the final days of Joseph Smith’s life and how those events shaped both Emma Smith and Brigham Young. The episode also examines the decisions Brigham Young and the Twelve made after the martyrdom. With mobs threatening Nauvoo, the brethren chose to focus on finishing the temple while preparing to go west. John Wilson interviews Church historian Dr. Gerrit Dirkmaat who contrasts Joseph Smith’s passionate, dramatic personality and conversion experiences with Brigham Young’s more gradual, deliberate path to faith, and points out that once Brigham was converted, he never looked back. The post Becoming Brigham Episode 13: Joseph, Joseph, Joseph! first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.
