In this episode we talk in depth about Willard Chase's affidavit of 1833, in which he recounts a story about Joseph Smith fighting a toad protecting the Golden Plates, which shapeshifts into a human being, and beats him up severely. It's a story of silver mines and gold treasure that might have been conduits to a bigger picture of the divine. Watch as Heidi struggles to keep Thomas from joining Mormonism, but in turn ends up giving praising Joseph Smith for perhaps the first time ever!

Will Thomas become a Mormon? Who knows! Watch this episode to find out!
