Joseph Smith and Treasure Digging | Ep. 1575 | LDS Discussions Ep. 01

Over the last decade the Mormon Church has officially admitted that Joseph Smith and his family believed in and practiced treasure-seeking using folk magic and occult methods. However, many people overlook how these illegal and disreputable practices are closely related to the stories that Joseph would tell later, including the creation of the Book of Mormon. In this episode, Mike from LDS Discussions talks to us about Joseph Smith's treasure digging and how it relates to the Book of Mormon story and the Church as a whole.
