Every Stone a Sermon: Contemplating the incomprehensible future of the Salt Lake Temple

During the 2002 Winter Olympic Games, as news crews from around the world gathered near the Salt Lake Temple, Shaun Stahle reflected on Brigham Young’s prophecy that “the fame of this House” would spread across the earth. That vision has been fulfilled—and continues to unfold.

Built with calloused hands and faith as solid as granite, the Salt Lake Temple has stood as a sentinel for generations, guarding a growing Church. Its construction, spanning 40 years, is a story of sacrifice, perseverance, and prophetic vision. Today, as the temple undergoes a monumental renovation, its future seems as awe-inspiring as its past.

Join Shaun as he recounts key moments from the temple’s history, explores the courage of prophets who guided its transformation, and shares insights that make every stone feel like a sermon waiting to be heard.
