WARD RADIO

In this powerful Ward Radio episode, we tackle a hard truth: as Latter-day Saints, we are not ready for the last days. Prophetic invitations from President Nelson and President Oaks are clear — we cannot survive spiritually without the constant, guiding influence of the Holy Spirit. But “warm and fuzzy” feelings during hymns or scripture study won't be enough.Guest  @GospelGuardianLDS  shares his personal calling to help members move beyond passive belief into active faith — the kind that receives revelation, acts on promptings, and performs miracles through the priesthood.Practical, line-upon-line steps to recognize and record how the Spirit communicates with youWhy most members struggle with faith and prayer — and what actually works to build it.This is a must-watch for anyone who wants to be spiritually prepared when the last days come.Drop a comment: Do you feel ready for the last days?

We went full investigative mode on Nick Shirley after his appearance on the PBD Podcast… and what we found is disturbing...From his suspicious childhood habits of sweeping driveways and planting trees, to his dangerous teenage behavior of telling people they have infinite worth, to his mission “service” in soup kitchens… the signs were all there.This is the cult of Nick Shirley — and we have the receipts.We also react to some wild clips from his PBD interview and drop an original song that perfectly captures the madness.Is Nick Shirley a wholesome citizen journalist… or the leader of a dangerous cult? You decide.Drop your thoughts in the comments:Is Nick Shirley actually in a cult?Should we make more “Mo Music” songs?#NickShirley #CultExposed #WardRadio #Mormon #LDS #PBDPodcastChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: The Most Anti-Woke University in the World01:08 - Introducing “The Cult of Nick Shirley”02:34 - Nick Shirley on Utah, Trump & Violent Protesters (PBD Clip)04:42 - “In Our Religion, Marriage Is Between a Man and a Woman”05:40 - Why Utah Feels Like a Cult to Non-Members07:10 - University of Utah Fans Are Unhinged (The Roast Begins)09:48 - Patrick Bet-David on Mormons Being Hard Workers10:53 - Tiny3D Temples Sponsor11:00 - The Big One: Nick Shirley's “Cult-Like” Childhood12:20 - The “Cult Behaviors” Montage (Service, Church, Testimony, etc.)14:14 - Original Song: “Highway to Hell” Mormon Parody16:13 - Full Song Performance + Lyrics Breakdown18:25 - Final Thoughts: Is Nick Shirley Actually Dangerous?19:18 - Outro + Audience QuestionsJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

We sat down with Latter-day Logic (the TikTok apologist crushing it in the live debate space) and he dropped pure logic bombs on why the restored gospel is the most rationally defensible theology on earth… and why the Book of Mormon is literally undebunkable.What happens when a sharp Latter-day Saint builds a 120-page Google Doc of answers and takes on atheists and mainstream Christians in civil TikTok live debates?You get Latter-day Logic.In this episode he explains exactly why The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has the most logically consistent, axiomatic theology of any Christian denomination — and why the Book of Mormon is functionally undebunkable.He breaks down:How he went from bystander to one of the go-to LDS voices in the TikTok apologetics sceneWhy mainstream Christian debaters often get cornered (and why atheists respect the LDS position more)0:00 - Intro & Shoutout to Dan Ropte (New Tripod!)1:45 - Why Latter-day Logic Started TikTok Apologetics4:15 - The Problems He Saw in Other Religious Livestreams6:30 - Building the 120-Page Answer Arsenal9:00 - Obsidian + Axiomatic Theology (Everything Connected)11:30 - Interconnected Beliefs vs Isolated Verses14:00 - Faith is Transformative (Marriage, Fatherhood, God)17:45 - Civil Debate Rules & Why One Guest at a Time20:30 - Real Results: Book of Mormons, Missionaries & Baptisms23:45 - Why the Book of Mormon is Undebunkable26:00 - Top 3 Reasons You Literally Can't Debunk the Book of Mormon29:15 - latterdaylogic.org + Personalized Faith Resources31:30 - Closing Thoughts & Where to Find Him#BookOfMormon #LatterdayLogic #LDSApologetics #Mormon #TikTokApologist #Undebunkable #WardRadio #ReligiousLogic #FaithAndReasonJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

The 9 Bible verses Christians misuse against Latter-day Saints the most — and how to actually respond with context, history, and logic.In this episode, apologists Gospel Guardian (Braden) and Brittany the Shadow join Ward Radio to tackle the repeat offenders:Revelation 22:18-19 – “Don't add to the Bible” (Book of Mormon attack)Galatians 1:8 – “Another angel preaching a different gospel” (Angel Moroni)John 10:30 – “I and the Father are one” (Trinity proof-text)1 John 5:7 – The Comma Johanneum (later interpolation added to support Trinity)Isaiah 43:10 – “No God formed before or after me” (plurality of gods)Hebrews 1:1-2 – God spoke by prophets… now by His Son (no modern prophets)Ephesians 2:8-9 – Saved by grace through faith, not worksMatthew 22:30 – “Neither marry nor given in marriage” in the resurrectionJohn 4:24 – “God is a Spirit”They explain why cherry-picking destroys meaning, why definitions matter (“gospel,” “one,” “works”), how the Trinity isn't explicitly taught in the Bible, and why the LDS position actually fits the full scriptural context better in almost every case.0:00 - Intro & Guests: Gospel Guardian + Brittany the Shadow1:45 - #1 Revelation 22:18-19 – “Don't Add to the Bible” (Book of Mormon)8:15 - #2 Galatians 1:8 – Another Angel / Different Gospel?

He lived the Gospel for 30 days... then decided to get baptized! We're learning everything we can about "Chris the Casual"!In this raw and inspiring Ward Radio live stream, Cardon Ellis and Brittany the Shadow welcome Chris the Casual (Chris Ross) — a former self-described Satanist who had a life-changing encounter with LDS missionaries and is now preparing for baptism in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.Chris shares his unfiltered journey: meeting missionaries while waiting for his fiancé, initially mocking the Church, feeling the Spirit, deleting his critical videos, committing to serious study, and taking the 30-day “live like a Mormon” challenge (including going cold turkey on his beloved Reese's iced coffee!). He opens up about his honest doctrinal questions around Heavenly Mother and the nature of God, his deep love for the temple, and how the Church's teachings align more with the Bible than he expected. He also talks about the profound positive changes in his life and his current path toward baptism after marriage.This is a must-watch for investigators, new members, and anyone who loves powerful stories of faith.Timestamps / Chapter Markers:00:00 – Welcome & Introducing Chris the Casual02:25 – Chris Tells His Origin Story (Tennessee, Fiancé & Satanist Past)04:00 – What “Satanist” Actually Meant to Him06:15 – Feeling the Spirit & Returning to Church07:33 – The 30-Day “Live Like a Mormon” Challenge09:54 – Cardon Shares His Mission Invitation Story11:35 – How the Journey Has Been Received (Antis & Cookies)15:22 – Brittany Asks: What Was the Most Challenging Part?15:36 – Giving Up Coffee Cold Turkey (Reese's Iced Coffee!)16:08 – Chris's Religious Background Growing Up20:16 – Anti-Mormon Rabbit Holes & “Magic Underwear” Questions22:13 – Word of Wisdom Struggle & Setting a Baptismal Date23:32 – Biggest Doctrinal Hangups: Heavenly Mother & God of Flesh and Bone25:54 – Still Iffy but Prioritizing Following Christ36:59 – What He Loves Most: Temples & Their Biblical Connection40:55 – Family & Fiancé's Reactions to His Changes48:29 – Current Status: Wants Baptism After Marriage (Hoping for July)53:58 – Super Chats Begin (Location, Name Origin, etc.)58:58 – His Experience in the Ward Radio Discord01:03:47 – What Finally Convinced Him to Want to Join01:07:51 – One Thing He Wishes the Church Would Change (Energy Drinks)01:15:33 – Final Thoughts: Follow the SpiritCheck out Chris the Casual on YouTube for more of his journey!wardradio.com#WardRadio #LDS #Mormon #ConversionStory #Investigator #BookofMormon #Temple #LatterDaySaint

The Department of War changed our classification! Is this a Good or a Bad thing?The Department of Defense recently updated its religious preference list for military chaplains and removed the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints from the generic “Christian” category, giving it its own separate designation.In this episode, Cardon Ellis is joined by Kwaku L and Luke Hansen to break down what actually happened and whether this is an insult or a positive development.They discuss:Why the LDS Church was separated while groups like Jehovah's Witnesses remained under “Christian”How this change could actually help secure dedicated LDS chaplainsReactions from Michael Knowles and Senator Mike LeeWhether Latter-day Saints should even want to be grouped under the broad “Christian” labelThe deeper question of religious identity in government systemsCHAPTERS:0:00 - Intro with Kwaku L and Luke Hansen3:30 - The DoD Removes LDS from Christian List9:00 - Why Are Jehovah's Witnesses Still Listed as Christian?14:00 - The Real Benefit: Dedicated LDS Chaplains20:30 - Is This an Insult or Recognition of Our Identity?27:00 - Michael Knowles & Senator Mike Lee React33:00 - “We're Not Protestant 2.0”40:00 - Tangent: William Clayton Journals Leak48:00 - Super Chats Begin58:00 - Should We Even Want to Be Called “Christian”?1:08:00 - Going on the Offensive with Religious Identity1:18:00 - Final Thoughts & Closing

In this episode the Ward Radio crew reacts to a clip Senator Mike Lee posted just hours ago from Elder Neal A. Maxwell's October 10, 1978 BYU Devotional “Meeting the Challenges of Today.”Maxwell delivers one of the most clear-eyed diagnoses of our time: we are entering “a period of incredible ironies” where a maximum effort will be made to establish irreligion as the state religion — a new form of paganism that uses the very freedoms of Western civilization to shrink freedom while rejecting our rich Judeo-Christian heritage.The hosts break down:How secularism is succeeding in virtually establishing unbeliefThe paradox of tolerance and why religion is being relabeled as “harm”This 1978 talk feels like it was written for right now.Drop your thoughts in the comments — is this the prophetic warning our generation needs?CHAPTERS (copy and paste these directly into YouTube):text0:00 - Intro: Sen.

Some rage-bait goes so hard it just ends up being funny...

In this episode, Cardon Ellis, Jonah Barnes and Ryland critically analyze the trajectory of the "Mormon Stories" podcast, led by John Dehlin, combining statistical data with cultural commentary and personal insights.

In this quick and entertaining Ward Radio Angel Studios Special, host Cardon Ellis chats with director Tanner Christensen and legendary cinematographer/father T.C. Christensen about their inspiring documentary Standout: The Ben Kjar Story.Ben was born with Crouzon Syndrome and faced surgeries, bullying, and limitations — but he chose to stand out. He became a 3-time state wrestling champion, UVU's first NCAA All-American, and a world champion in Greco-Roman wrestling.Tanner and T.C. share father-son banter, how they turned a true story into a dramatic narrative documentary (not a slow wildlife film), the real challenges of being LDS filmmakers, brutal ward feedback, “prophet without honor” moments, and the powerful message: you weren't born to blend in — choose to stand out.Funny, honest, and uplifting in just 13 minutes!Watch the full movie Standout on Angel Studios now!#StandoutMovie #BenKjar #TannerChristensen #TCChristensen #WardRadio #AngelStudios #LDSFilmmakers #InspiringStoryChapter Markers (Timestamps):00:00 Welcome & Intro to the Q&A00:15 Who's the Better Filmmaker?

In this inspiring full episode from Ward Radio at Angel Studios, Cardon Ellis sits down with Tanner Christensen, Brad Witbeck, and T.C. Christensen to discuss the powerful new documentary:Standout: The Ben Kjar Story.Born with Crouzon Syndrome—a rare craniofacial condition—doctors told Ben his life would be limited by surgeries, bullying, and differences. Instead, with incredible family support and faith, he defied the odds to become a 3-time high school state champion, Utah Valley University's first NCAA All-American wrestler, and a world champion in Greco-Roman wrestling.This conversation dives deep into the making of the film, the real-life triumphs and challenges, the power of community (especially in Latter-day Saint culture), and why this story transcends any one faith—it's about choosing to stand out rather than blend in.

In this hilarious and insightful Ward Radio episode, Cardon Ellis sits down with filmmaker Barrett Bergen (director of the new Mormon comedy short Java Jive) and James Hall to unpack the future of Latter-day Saint comedy.Why is so much "Mormon humor" either too insider for outsiders or overly sanitized? How can we create comedy that's authentically LDS yet universally funny — like Jewish comedians have mastered for generations? They discuss ditching the "cringe" and shame around everyday faith quirks (like coffee on a date), embracing confidence in our identity, and why self-deprecating humor earns respect.Plus: Clips and breakdown of Java Jive — a future missionary on a date with a non-member, forbidden fruit (coffee) on the menu, and the hilarious fallout. A must-watch for anyone who loves clean comedy, LDS culture, or wants better Mormon media.If you've ever felt awkward explaining the Word of Wisdom or wondered why ex-Mormon voices stay obsessed, this episode nails it.#MormonComedy #LatterDaySaints #JavaJive #LDSHumor #ChristianComedy #WordOfWisdom #BookOfMormon00:00 Intro: The Cringe of Trying Too Hard to Be "Normal"00:45 Why Mormon Comedy Matters & Cultural Confidence01:40 Guest Introduction: Barrett Bergen & Java Jive Overview02:45 The Legacy of LDS Comedy — What's Missing?04:10 Learning from Jewish Comedy: Authentic Yet Universal Humor05:50 Breaking Down Java Jive Scenes — Coffee Date Awkwardness07:30 The Real Absurdity: Self-Loathing vs. Owning Your Faith09:20 Missionary Moments, Ex-Mormon Identity & Social Fabric12:00 Advice for Creators: Be Bold, Be You15:30 Hollywood Experiences & Everyone Has Their "Crazy"18:45 Film Breakdown Continued: Lies, Escalation & Comedy Timing22:10 Shame in LDS Culture vs. Embracing Identity26:00 Pluralism, Nuance & Lasting Testimonies30:15 More Java Jive Clips & Audience Reactions35:40 The Power of Self-Deprecating Humor & Respect39:20 Future of Mormon Media & Bold Storytelling43:50 Final Thoughts: Own It Because You Can't Escape It46:30 Closing Reflections & Call to ActionJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

In this episode of Ward Radio, host Cardon Ellis sits down with guest Dalton Williams from Unashamed Truth 116 to dig deep into the lesser-known meanings behind the iconic Psalm 23. The conversation kicks off with Dalton Williams sharing how, despite the Psalm's popularity across Christian traditions and its frequent use even in military history, most people overlook its rich, practical symbolism rooted in real-world shepherding.

This lively episode of Ward Radio dives into the playful and sometimes serious comparisons between Mormonism and Star Wars, exploring the so-called "Mormon Jedi Conspiracy Theories." Hosted by Cardon Ellis with guests Brittany the Shadow and Austin Falter of Small and Simple Screens, the discussion ranges from speculative connections to Mormon doctrine and culture, as well as personal anecdotes and community reactions.
