Follow Him Podcast: Episode 10, Part 1–D&C 20-22 with guest Dr. Jordan Watkins | Our Turtle House

How do we define church? Is it an organized group? Is it people with a common idea? Listen to John Bytheway, Hank Smith, and Dr. Jordan Watkins as we learn how the Church was organized, how to define church, and are reminded to not argue with members of other religions. Learn how Joseph and Oliver develop the first “handbook,” why we shouldn’t conflate men with the priesthood, and we are reminded about this being a continual restoration.
