Weekly Episodes
Brother Joseph Podcast
A weekly gathering dedicated to highlighting the noble characteristics, divine calling, and humanity of Joseph Smith Jr., approached with faith, reverence, and truth.
About the Show
Faith, Reverence, and Truth
Converted to the restored Gospel at the age of 26, producer and host Emanuel Zevallos joins forces with Kimberly Jo Smith, a respected author, historian, and direct descendant of Joseph Smith Jr., to bring forward a podcast rooted in faith, reverence, and truth.
Rather than chasing controversy or using click-driven narratives, our mission is simple: to honor the Prophet of the Restoration with integrity, depth, and clarity. We believe that understanding Joseph Smith requires both transparency and spiritual sensitivity.
Through thoughtful discussions, scriptural insights, and historical context, we aim to present a fuller picture, one that uplifts, educates, and invites the Spirit.
Each episode also contributes to a greater vision: the development of the upcoming television series, "Brother Joseph." These conversations help shape the heart, direction, and authenticity of that project. We also explore key biographies and historical works on Joseph Smith, while inviting trusted historians, scholars, and witnesses to share their insights, personal experiences, and testimonies.
