Summary

In this exciting episode of Come, Follow Church History with Doctor Lynne Hilton Wilson, Church historian and researcher Mark Staker joins Lynne for a deep dive into the world of spiritual gifts. Using historical context, personal experiences and scriptural references, Lynne and Mark help viewers understand what spiritual gifts are and how they are used. Find out if Joseph Smith just copied the religious practices of his colleagues or were his revelations different and unique? Does section 46 of the Doctrine and Covenants just copy 1st Corinthians 12? And why are the gifts of the spirit so mysterious? And upon what principles do they operate?
