When Heaven hands you a second chance at life, what legacy will you protect for your bloodline?

This Sunday on Latter-Day Lights, hosts Scott and Alisha welcome Joseph Smith Skeen to the show. As a direct descendant of Hyrum Smith, Joe unveils how near-death and a second chance at life became the spark that led him to safeguard his ancestor’s relics—from Alvin’s toolbox that once cradled the gold plates, to Hyrum’s bullet-scarred pocket watch, and even Civil War rifles used at Carthage.

Now an author of devotional books drawn from decades of faith-driven experiences, Joe weaves God’s calling, family heirlooms, and profound revelations into a testimony that proves the Lord can preserve hearts and history all at once.

Tune in to Joe’s story to discover how tangible relics and personal miracles intertwine, leaving you with fresh resolve to trace, treasure, and testify to the sacred narratives in your own family for generations to come.
