Stories of the Restoration
United States
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 22 ม.ค. 2020
Hey everyone! I’m Tom Pettit. I love Church History and I love telling the stories because of the revealed truths, the clarity of God’s love for His children, and the inspiring stories of those early Saints that are so motivating to us today. But I don’t just tell the stories, I show how the stories of the past can help each of us draw closer to the Savior in our everyday lives! I decided to now share stories from Church history with you, and I often tell them from the sites where those stories actually took place. I’ll also share the fun and entertaining stories too. Stories I share come from the Sacred Grove, the Hill Cumorah, Fayette, Martin’s Cove, Nauvoo, the Susquehanna River, the Kirtland Temple, Carthage Jail, Adam-ondi-Ahman, and so many other wonderful and sacred places.

Beyond Come Follow Me: D&C 1
Doctrine and Covenants 1 was revealed at the John and Elsa Johnson Farm in Hiram, OH. Who are the Johnson's and why was Joseph in Hiram, OH? In this video, I'll give you the answers and the historical details that led up to D&C 1 being revealed. Knowing these details will help the Section come to life and you will see how relatable it is to our life today.

It is a new year and our attention now turns to Doctrine and Covenants and Church History. In this video, I describe the journey the Smith Family made to the Palmyra area, and how Moroni's journey was very similar.

Moroni recounts more Jaredite history with what seems to be one purpose: to plead with us to listen to the living prophet. He gives a stern warning to those that willfully choose to not follow the prophet. Tom Pettit

What can the Brother of Jared's experience in building boats teach us about our relationship with the Savior? So much! His pattern for receiving revelation, and then acting on it, is a perfect plan for us to follow as we navigate towards our own Promised Land.

Mormon passes the plates to his son Moroni. In doing so, he gives us one final message. Mormon will now take the plates and place them so Joseph Smith can one day be led to them. The Book of Mormon testifies of Jesus Christ and was written with us in mind! Tom Pettit

Mormon spent his life preparing the Book of Mormon for us. In these chapters we learn who Mormon was and what he experienced in his life which caused him to be anxious for us to learn from the Nephites. Tom Pettit

How can we find the Savior in our lives today? The Savior provides instruction and hope for those who choose to follow him. His promises and comfort which he gave to the the Nephites are still real today.

I like your integrity for not doing the lessons for us but giving us context. This is how it should be done imho.
I look forward to studying the Doctrine and Covenants, with you, this year.
Your lessons are better than Sunday school
I expect we are now seeing and going to see more calamities for people and nations this year and each year until all is fulfilled to complete this Age of Gentiles.
I love your teaching of the Church History & how it relates to the Doctrine & Covenants!! I am so grateful to our Heavenly Father & our Savior, Jesus Christ for leading & guiding me to be Baptized, & Confirmed a Member of Christ's one & only true Church on the earth!! I just celebrated 29 years as a Member on 12/24/24!! Thank you again Brother Petit!! May you & your family enjoy a Healthy, Happy New Year & beyond!! Thank you!!
Thank you!!
I am super excited to hear your church history stories that bring the D&C alive. You are a great teacher.
At 20:48 you say 2021. You meant to say 2025.
At 18:24, You mention one of the calamities of 2020 as the covid pandemic. No, it was a plandemic designed by our own government to use gain of function research to develop a bioweapon to destroy and weaken your immune system, to kill and maim and depopulate the planet.
If your the restored church how come we christians can answer your questians but you mormons can,t answer a true christians questians. The books of mormon have all been discredited. You do secret rituals jesus does miracles in the open.Your temple is only supposed the be in Indepenace Mi. Your also revising the book of mormon when JSJ said it is the most perfect book ever written. Jesus said their will be many who will come in my don,t believe them.
At 14:20 you say that Section 1 is a preference to the D&C. No, it is a preface.
I went here with you on a church history tour❤️❤️
I ‘ve been looking forward to hearing what you had to say and teach . You did not disappoint . Thank you so much. I always learn so much for you. I love church history and your insights. 😊
I am a descendant of the Johnson family through my mother.
Liked and followed.. Anything additional for the present day come follow me course?
Great start brother. Thank you the historical context, my favorite information that brings scriptures and doctrine to life. Just a recommendation. Each of the stories / parts of your posting I think would be more powerful broken up into short postings, so we receive more postings from you, but each posting has it's own header and I think you will have more clicks. I think a lot of people pass up the posting on TH-cam because when it is more than a few minutes they think, I can't listen now, maybe I'll listen later. I personally click more and listen more to short postings from the same channels. Thanks for all your work, really great!
Compared to others...this one is REALLY short. Most are over an hour. I agree with your thinking tho.
Thank You for your testimony and teaching.
Thank You.
Bother Tom, thank you so much!!! LOVE the stories from our gospel. Happy New Year! From Maryland.
I love all your videos and lessons! Thank you very much!
Thank you, Tom. My wife and I look forward to ALL your lessons, week by week.
Thank you sOOOOOO much! I love your videos they are so edifying! Happy New Year to you and your family! (watching from France)
Tom, I appreciate how you have worked so hard to gain your knowledge and testimony. It's so easy and beneficial to just listen to you. Thank you! ❤
Brother Pettit , Tambora also played a part in positioning the Smith family.
Moroni survived during the 36 years of wandering because he had the U&T on his body and he could see the dangers.
Unfortunately, in the Restoration Proclamation under the description of the Book of Mormon translation, there is no mention of the Urim and Thummim which was the only instrument of translation.
Tom, I’ve always been fascinated by the entire area and I can’t help but think there’s deeper significance about the area in general. What are the odds that two of the major civilizations from this continent would both “end” in the same place? That they’d both “irrigate” the same land with their blood? And that they’d “cry from the dust” in the same place?
A significant future battle will take place at the same Ramah/Cumorah area.
I love listening to your videos. I learn so much!!!!!!!! thank you
I've been watching your videos and being blessed ever since your first Church history/Doctrine and Covenants series. You're a blessing! I've learned so much and the stories and insights you've shared have helped deepen my testimony and ignite a love for church history! Many blessings to you and your family this coming year!
I love your videos! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. God bless.

This is amazing . Thank you very much .
I enjoy your Church History stories. I'm always learning. I'm wondering where I can find the information about Moroni dedicating the temple grounds. Thank you
You are amazing. I am so grateful for you. When you first created the D&C videos, it made me understand and love the church, gospel and the D&C even more. Thank you thank you for blessing our lives!
Thank you Brother Pitted I am so looking foward for this year. thank you. 🤗
I enjoy learning from you emencely. You have such a pation for the history of our faith. And for the teachings of Jesus Christ. I look forward to learning more from you. Thank you for your willingness to make these videos.
I got typhoid on my mission. I feel for Joseph and his sister who got it. I thought I was going to die.
I’m excited for this years study of the D&C.
Dear Brother Petit, thank you so much for your message, it was an answer to a prayer for me today, a tender mercy.
I love your lessons. Bless you for teaching me.
Thank you for a great beginning to a new year of gospel study
I always listen and love,the profound,church history,
Happy New Year!! Thank you for your time and sharing with us love from down under Melbourne Australia 🦘😊
I love this channel. You bring church history to life! Thank you!
It was great I appreciate you sharing these stories with us. I have to pray for patience even though my prayers and the inspiration that comes helps my understanding. It is always a miracle the way the Lord works for each of us even though we don't understand. It's kind of like to me the Lord tells the Holy Ghost, watch this, I'm going to send down some confusion for a little bit, it leaves them scratching thire heads, like okay what's next Heavenly Father😅 we will have them zig zag to different places and then we will bless them beyond their understanding. Will you have the faith and patience to wait until the time is right. There would be many times that I try to hurry the blessing but I think the Lord would say well let's teach him a lesson impatience.
Happy New Year. Thanks. Your efforts are appreciated. God Bless you and your family.
Thank you for sharing your testimony and knowledge!
Thank you love church history 😊
Something that really worked. The restoration of the church of Jesus Christ of latter day Saints!
This is my favorite of your stories with church history!
