Episode 13 of Challenges explores of the most fundamental questions about Mormonism in this debate-style episode: Was Joseph Smith primarily motivated by worldly desires or a true prophetic calling? We present evidence from historical records, Joseph's own writings, and testimonies from his contemporaries. We analyze key aspects including treasure seeking, translation claims, financial decisions, polygamy, and the Danites. After carefully weighing all arguments, we reach a conclusion based solely on the evidence presented, while acknowledging the complexity and personal nature of this topic for many believers.
