Episode Details

Step into the spiritual heart of Mormon history as the oldest temple in the movement, Kirtland’s sacred stone, reclaims its spotlight. Once Joseph Smith’s vision took flight, this Ohio landmark—now owned by the LDS Church after a historic $192.5M purchase—is sparking renewed pilgrimages from believers who call it their “Holy Land.” As the church prepares to unveil its newest U.S. temple nearby, echoing Kirtland’s iconic cupola, the past and present converge in reverence. Visitors like Pauline and Shae Anderson find deep connection here—the birthplace of all Latter-day Saint temples—and both faiths honor its enduring legacy as a bridge between generations.
