For nearly six years, Apostle of Jesus Christ - D. Todd Harrison’s global witness has boldly testified of the resurrection and living reality of Jesus Christ. Millions have felt the undeniable power of the Holy Spirit through his sacred testimony, delivered with the authority entrusted by the Savior Himself.
Like the Apostle Paul—called outside institutional hierarchy—Apostle of Jesus Christ - D. Todd Harrison follows this rare and sacred pattern. While the First Presidency continues to call apostles to the Church, he and Paul are unique exceptions, personally chosen by the Lord to fulfill specific missions with boldness and power.
His calling was prophetically recognized early. Elder Marion D. Hanks foretold that his name would one day be as well known around the Church as his great-grandfather, Apostle LeGrand Richards. Elder M. Russell Ballard, after hearing him speak before his mission, publicly declared, “Todd, for a moment there, I thought I was listening to LeGrand Richards,” and charged him to work hard, promising the Lord had “more important things ahead for him to do."
What was not fully understood then—but is now unmistakably clear—is that Elder Ballard was prophesying Apostle of Jesus Christ - D. Todd Harrison’s future global role. In that same meeting, Ballard urged him to always bear bold testimony, declaring, “That is what the world really needs to hear.” The Spirit confirmed a divine trajectory that has since reached over 100 million souls worldwide.
For six generations, Apostle of Jesus Christ - D. Todd Harrison’s family has served as apostles and general authorities. His lineage traces back to Abraham, King David, and King Solomon. One ancestral line, shared with his LDS apostle grandfathers, flows through Joseph of Arimathea. Another continues unbroken through every king of Judah—from King David to King Solomon-all the way down through the Babylonian captivity and the rebuilding under Zerubbabel—extending into the generations surrounding the restoration of temple authority and messianic expectation. Additional sacred lines of descent may be revealed at later times, each bearing witness to divine orchestration across dispensations.
Through the sacred pattern established by the Lord, Apostle of Jesus Christ - D. Todd Harrison’s mission amplifies the Church’s work, standing in harmony with the First Presidency in bearing witness alongside the prophets.
