This week's episode is a recording of a recent talk I gave at the America Reforged conference hosted by Future of Christendom. In this talk on Natural Law, I look at the origins and history of the term, its usefulness, its weaknesses, and what its role should be in the future. The full video recording of my talk can be found at Future of Christendom.

I sit down with Bartlesville Mayor Jim Curd for a conversation about his re-election campaign, what continues to motivate him to serve, and his vision for making Bartlesville an even better place to live, work, and raise a family.

We also talk about the role his faith plays in his life and leadership, along with where his entrepreneurial drive came from and how his experience in business has shaped the way he approaches public service.

This episode is part 1 in a series going through the life of Joseph Smith.
Joseph Smith, Jr. founded what became known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (a.k.a. the Mormon church). As we walk through this natural born leader with aspects of his life shrouded in mystery to this day, let's answer the question: was Joseph Smith a true prophet or a poser?
In part 1 we look at brief summaries of the lives of some of Joseph Smith's family to see how their different personalities and beliefs shaped Joseph's own beliefs and experiences:
Asael Smith - grandfather
Jesse Smith - uncle
Joseph Smith, Sr. - father
Lucy Mack Smith - mother
