"No Toil Nor Labor Fear": A Pioneer Day Special Episode

Mattathias Reads The World

Jared Forsyth joins me again to discuss the Mormon pioneer legacy, some of the ways we tell the story that cheapen their experience and set impossible expectations for us as we go through our own vale of tears, and some of the ways each of us has learned to honor them better and let their lived experience nourish and direct us. We reflect on Primary songs, Sunday school, Trek experiences, and end with the powerful pioneer anthem "Let Us Go" by the Mother of Mormon poetry, Eliza R. Snow.
