Mormonism has always dreamed big and in this episode, we dive into one of its boldest and most disastrous dreams: the great gathering of Zion. Lindsay and Bryan pull apart the myth and the machinery behind Brigham Young’s plan to build a literal Kingdom of God in the American West, fueled by prophecies, poverty, and, let’s be honest, some absolutely unhinged logistics. From dusty English factories to the frostbitten plains of Wyoming, this episode traces how the doctrine of gathering transformed faith into migration, believers into settlers, and handcarts into spiritual test kits.
