Listen: Nathan Pacheco Reveals the Elder Holland Quote That Led Him to Pursue a Career in Music

On September 12, 2004, Nathan Pacheco wasn’t a Billboard chart-topping artist. He hadn’t yet been on tour with Yanni or performed with the Tabernacle Choir on Temple Square. In 2004, he was just a senior at Brigham Young University who had a dream of pursuing a career in music.

They also discuss the historicity of “Jane and Emma” and whether it is okay to fictionalize history in film.

Are You Blown Away by Church History?

I remember the first time I learned many of the challenging aspects of church history. The Mountain Meadows massacre, details of polygamy, problems with the Book of Abraham, multiple accounts of the first vision, and etc. I felt doubt stirring in my mind and heart. It was painful, but short lived. I’ll explain more about this later. On reflection, I realized that I had made some assumptions about the church and church leaders that were flat out wrong.

Start Your Engines!

Every great road trip has a destination, whether known or unknown. For us, the destination is Joseph Smith, the Prophet of the Restoration. But how we get there, and what we learn along the way, is different for everyone.
