Fantastic episode! I’ve been fascinated by James Strang since I first heard about him several years ago. This episode was very informative. Kudos to both of you and to Dr. Beshears for being a great example of respectful and friendly interfaith dialogue.
John Bennett was a Past Masonic Grand Master that Joseph Smith was manipulating to get "invited" into the hi-up (by invitation only) Masonic 33° degree level, that Joseph instituted as his Church endowment ritual two weeks after getting into the Masonic 33°. Joseph Smith's earlier Kirkland, Ohio temple endowment was nothing like the Nauvoo temple endowment. :.

My dad would go to the casino in Las Vegas and ask for a beer with a root in it. He would get the strangest looks. Fabulous episode guys.
Very cool!
Did any of you do a deep dive into Bennett? It sounds like he's the real "game of throne" want a be.
