In this episode, we get to chat with Stephen Fleming, a well-known historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a bishop in California. Today Stephen shares a story that you veryyyyy likely have NEVER HEARD from the history of the LDS Church (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). Speaking of LDS history, we (as a church) focus on some key locations where the church grew but we rarely talk about the more remote places where the church also existed and thrived. Today, Stephen talks about the history of the church in those lesser-spoken-of places, such as New Jersey and Delaware. And the stories he shares are FASCINATING!! What did you learn from Stephen??
