Episode 14 of Challenges explores how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has managed its historical narrative over time, from Joseph Smith's era of polygamy through the Mormon underground to modern correlation efforts. We examine how practices that began as protective measures during periods of persecution evolved into institutional approaches for maintaining unity and a positive public image. We consider how these historical patterns continue to influence the Church's relationship with its past today and what this reveals about institutional storytelling more broadly.
