Compilation: The story of the Mormon Church episodes 1-3 Get $20 off your first order at http://cometeer.com/johnnyharris I’ve made three mini docs about the history of the LDS church, a lot of people were finding them in isolation so we decided to put them together. Check out all my sources for this video here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1j3_N2gXrSHflYDlVMZKtx-iMmp3pIKFm9wJeGR22tQg/edit?usp=sharing I've been on a years-long journey to understand the Mormon Church I grew up in. This compilation begins with the organization's origins in upstate New York, explains the wild story of how the Mormons created Utah, and ends with how the church became an almost $300 billion global empire. This is the story of both a unique religious institution, and of my own experience being shaped by that system and wrestling with its teachings.
