Episode 7.14 Dr. Ben Park

We got to welcome Dr. Benjamin Park, author of American Zion, onto our show!  We greatly enjoyed having him on, and got to talk about being an historian, what it’s like to get access to the oldest of church records, what makes American Zion different from other histories and his perspective on researching the early and modern LDS church.  Thanks Ben!  You can find Dr. Park on YouTube, Instagram, FaceBook, and Tik Tok as @benjaminparkhistorian.
