Episode #82: The Life & Ministry Of Joseph W. Musser Part 1 W/Michael Ness

So, I have to tell you I am super excited for theses next two episodes. This week and next week I will be releasing episodes about a man who in my estimation might be considered the godfather of 95% of Mormon Fundamentalism, Joseph W Musser. I have on Michael Ness who has done some amazing research and knows his stuff on Musser. On this part 1 on Musser, we discuss Musser’s early life as a boy, including his interactions with pioneer era leaders of the LDS Church, the role and example his father played in his life, his entering into plural marriage post-manifesto, and his 1909 disciplinary council. Along the way in this conversation, you will become a witness through Musser of a time in the LDS Church where the fulness of the Gospel was trying to be lived while enemies of the fulness are applying pressure both within and without the LDS Church. As the events that would forever alter the course of the LDS Church are taking place Brother Musser is right in the middle of it all. On this episode not only will you come to a better understanding of Brother Musser but also the Mormon Fundamentalist Movement as a whole.
