WARD RADIO

This is a **touchy** conversation. Treat it that way.Latter-day Saints believe we have a Mother in Heaven. That part is real. What is *not* revealed is whether she is the Holy Ghost, whether there is one Mother or many, or how the Godhead is structured beyond what the scriptures already say.We are speculating. We say that out loud.In this episode:- Kwaku's case: divine wisdom / Sophia / feminine Spirit- The problem: the Holy Ghost is spoken of as “he” in scripture- President Oaks: “Heavenly Mother or Mothers” — we don't know- Chris Blythe's two practical rules from current Church culture: 1. Don't teach that Heavenly Mother *is* the Holy Ghost 2. Don't publicly pray to Heavenly Mother- A 1843 Franklin D. Richards note that the Holy Ghost is “in a state of probation” — contested, not canon- Elohim as plural, justice and mercy, masculine and feminine- The Monad, graduated intelligences, and why infinite-regress god-chains get ugly- Why stuffing Heavenly Mother into the Godhead to “give her a seat” may be the wrong instinct**Guardrails first.** Unity in the essentials. Liberty in the non-essentials. Reverence the whole way down.This is not a declaration of doctrine. If you clip it like it is, you missed the episode.#HeavenlyMother #HolyGhost #LatterDaySaints #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Cold open: dove, not falcon 1:30 – Green-room question: is the Holy Ghost Heavenly Mother? 2:30 – Kwaku: “If I had to pick…” 4:00 – Sophia, wisdom, and the jump to the Holy Ghost 4:50 – Oaks: Mother or Mothers — we don't know 5:20 – Scriptures call the Spirit “he” 6:20 – Fast-and-testimony energy 7:40 – Sophia in Proverbs 8 and Gnosticism 8:50 – Sponsor: Brother Joseph screening 9:00 – Chris's Sophia dream 10:20 – “I won't make Mother inferior to the Son” 10:40 – 1843 note: Holy Ghost in probation 12:00 – JSP revisions and “gospel fluff” concerns 13:00 – Is the Godhead even a hierarchy? 14:10 – One Heavenly Mother, or many? 15:10 – Elder Renlund / Gospel Topics: stick to what we know 16:10 – Two rules: don't teach she's the Holy Ghost; don't pray to her publicly 17:30 – Elohim is plural — is Mother in “the image of God”? 19:00 – Don't force her into the Godhead for representation points 19:40 – Ancient religions and feminine wisdom 20:30 – The Monad and “single to the glory of God” 22:00 – Graduated intelligences 24:20 – Spirit person ≠ lesser person 25:10 – Why an endless chain of Gods is terrifying 26:40 – What if a trusted messenger rebelled later?Become a member of this channel to get early access to videos and members only content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinSupport the channel by purchasing equipment to help make content through our Amazon Wish List (please write a limerick in the "gist notes" and we will read it on the show!): https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareTo order Ward Radio Branded "merch", please visit: https://www.wardradio.com/category/all-products For this and more, please visit: WardRadio.comNow go do your ministering!

Before *A New Hope*, George Lucas wrote **five complete scripts**. They are not the movie you know...In the early drafts:- The heroes weren't Jedi. They were the **Dai Nogas**- The Force was the **Force of Others** — split into **Ashla** (good) and **Bogan** (evil)- A holy man called **the Skywalker** found the Force and trusted it to his **12 children**- Those children became the Jedi Bendu — *servants* of the Force- A padawan named **Darklightner** fell, taught Sith pirates, and the light went extinct- Draft 2 has Luke kill Darth Vader in a **five-minute duel on top of the Death Star**- Draft 3 opens with a fake scripture: *“In the time of greatest despair there shall come a savior… the son of the suns.”*Reid Moon owns all five drafts. We walk through the Christian / messianic scaffolding Lucas later sanded off — plus the original Obi-Wan line that never made the film, how these scripts survive at auction, and the one controversy the pages actually settle:Han shot first.#StarWars #WardRadio #GeorgeLucas### Chapter Markers0:00 – Intro 2:00 – Star Wars as the unofficial Mormon movie 2:40 – Five totally different scripts before filming 3:05 – Draft 1: Dai Nogas, King Kayos, Legions of Lettow 4:10 – How “Dianoga” became the trash-compactor monster 4:45 – Why the prequels wrecked Vader 7:05 – Draft 2: Jedi Bendu of Ashla 8:00 – Black Knights of the Sith 8:45 – The holy man called the Skywalker 9:30 – Ashla and Bogan 10:15 – He entrusted the Force to his 12 children 11:20 – Jedi means servant 12:20 – A Great Apostasy in the first scripts 12:50 – Sponsor: Brother Joseph screening 13:00 – Darklighter falls to the Bogan 13:50 – Luke kills Vader in five minutes on the Death Star 14:15 – Darklighter and Vader merge 15:20 – Draft 3 quotes “scripture”: Journal of the Whills 15:40 – “There shall come a savior… the son of the suns” 16:50 – Tatooine's two suns 17:30 – Dark Lords of the Sith 18:00 – Drafts 4–5: a galaxy far, far away / Luke Starkiller 18:50 – They went off-script 30% of the time 19:00 – The Obi-Wan vs. Vader line Lucas didn't want 20:05 – “A spoon perceives the taste of food” 21:00 – Did Obi-Wan give up the ghost? 22:10 – Why the religion got quieter 22:40 – Reading pre-famous George Lucas 25:20 – How Reid got all five drafts 27:10 – Named copies: Roger Christian, Anthony Daniels 29:20 – Disney can't yank these off the auction block 30:05 – Sharing the scripts with fans 31:30 – Han shot first.

Are Young Single Adult Wards helping people get married… or just teaching them how to stay single?In this episode we go after a question a lot of people are whispering:Should the Church dissolve YSA wards?We talk about:- Why early-2000s Mormon culture felt warmer — and why that energy is gone- Why so many YSA sacrament meetings feel cold, cliquey, and transactional- The “guys on one side, girls on the other” synagogue vibe- Elders Quorum getting shoved into kitchens, stages, and overflow closets- Utah dating TikToks and the collapse of asking people out- Ego, vanity, and “baddie culture” vs. actual friendliness- Why putting singles only with other singles can trap people in Peter Pan mode- A better model: keep records in family wards, keep singles *activities*, change the Sunday structure- The wild (half-serious) proposal for a stake-wide Sunday night YSA gathering with dinner- Why men checking out of dating is not just a “red pill” talking pointThis one is messy, funny, and uncomfortable on purpose. The point isn't to dunk on anyone. The point is that if the current system isn't producing friendship, discipleship, or marriages, it should be on the table.#YSA #LatterDaySaints #Dating #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – “I think we should dissolve YSA wards” 1:30 – Early 2000s Mormon culture vs. now 4:00 – Why YSA wards feel cold and unfriendly 6:00 – Separate seating and Elders Quorum in closets 8:30 – Utah dating TikToks: nobody likes anybody 10:20 – Ego culture and the rise of the “baddie” 11:10 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 12:00 – “Something inside them dies” 13:40 – Guys checking out of asking girls out 17:20 – Circular delusion in friend groups 19:00 – It's not wokeism — it's ego 21:00 – Conference talks vs. the actual YSA experience 23:00 – This is not a red-pill “women shouldn't vote” take 25:30 – Caste systems, young men, and historical blowback 28:00 – Human dignity over looks, money, and status 30:00 – Solution: put singles in family wards 32:00 – Trump bit: shutdown of YSA wards 33:50 – Keep singles activities, change Sunday worship 35:20 – Stake-wide Sunday night YSA meeting + dinner 38:50 – Men need to level up (gym, clothes, effort) 41:10 – Harley vs. Zara 43:00 – The one-year dating boycott idea 46:00 – “This is a bit… with some truth in it” 48:00 – Closing: come back together as equalsBecome a member of this channel to get early access to videos and members only content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinSupport the channel by purchasing equipment to help make content through our Amazon Wish List (please write a limerick in the "gist notes" and we will read it on the show!): https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareTo order Ward Radio Branded "merch", please visit: https://www.wardradio.com/category/all-products For this and more, please visit: WardRadio.comNow go do your ministering!

This one is raw.LDS Members Ugly Infighting Is Worse Than the Critics!Anonymous conservative LDS accounts — the Deseret Nation / “frogmo” corner of X — start calling LDS podcasters the “lowest form of latter-day life,” dunking on a year-old joke video, and treating humor like apostasy.That's not the gospel. That's infighting.In this episode we talk about:- Captain M'honri, Old Fox, and the anonymous pile-on- What #DesNat used to be — and what it turned into- The horseshoe: progmos embarrassed by the Church on the left, Protestant- LARPing zealots on the right- Why putting your real name on a take (even a bad one) is more Christian than hiding behind an avatar- Why this looks *terrible* to people outside the Church- Alma 4: contentions *among* the people of the Church becoming a stumbling block to everyone else- Peacemaking without becoming a doormat- An invitation to audit your own social media: light of the world, not saltiest of the earthChrist's pattern was “neither do I condemn thee… go and sin no more.” A lot of what passed for “defending the Church” this week was just pride with a scripture overlay.If you're tired of watching Saints devour Saints while the world watches, this is the episode.#LatterDaySaints #WardRadio #DesNatChapter Markers0:00 – Intro 1:10 – Minivan through the meetinghouse doors 2:20 – Anonymous comments hit Ward Radio 3:00 – “Lowest form of latter-day life” 3:50 – Captain M'honri and the Temple Square superhero post 5:20 – What #DesNat used to be 7:00 – Horseshoe effect: progmos and frogmos 9:50 – Anonymous accounts vs. people who put their name on it 10:40 – Why Jim Bennett gets more respect than cowards online 12:50 – Lions not sheep… and lemmings 14:35 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 15:30 – Is this a LARP account? 17:20 – Shame instead of correction 20:00 – How should Saints actually handle online conflict? 25:00 – Calling out behavior without becoming the mob 28:00 – Self-defense analogy vs. “our words are violence” 32:00 – Separate the person from the behavior 33:20 – Alma 4: contention *inside* the Church 35:00 – Pride as a stumbling block to outsiders 37:00 – Call to repentance is not the same as condemnation 39:00 – Counter-punch only… and still checking ourselves 41:00 – Wholesome cringe is not the enemy 43:00 – If you're attacking Brad Whitbeck and Jasmine Rappleye, you've lost the plot 45:00 – Consider the source 46:00 – The “unholy trinity of cringe” guy is also a nerd 48:00 – Invitation: audit your own social media 50:00 – Be the light, not the saltiest Saint online 52:00 – Anonymous isn't automatically evil — cruelty is Become a member of this channel to get early access to videos and members only content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinSupport the channel by purchasing equipment to help make content through our Amazon Wish List (please write a limerick in the "gist notes" and we will read it on the show!): https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareTo order Ward Radio Branded "merch", please visit: https://www.wardradio.com/category/all-products For this and more, please visit: WardRadio.comNow go do your ministering!

Someone is finally making a full-cast, immersive audio experience of the Book of Mormon — without changing a single word of the text.In this episode we sit down with KJ from 1830 Studios to hear the first proof-of-concept chapters of 1 Nephi.He walks us through:Why most Book of Mormon audio / dramatization projects get started and then dieHow he's building an immersive soundscape + original soundtrack around the actual scripture textThe production challenges (time, money, and scale)Plans to do the entire Book of Mormon + the narrative books of the Bible in the same “audio universe”And of course… we dream-cast the voice actors (yes, Trump as King Noah made the cut)The current chapters are free.

A new wave of anti-Mormon content is recycling old claims that Joseph Smith was deeply involved with demons and occult rituals.In this episode we break down a recent video from the Catholic channel *Jesus and Whatnot* that argues Joseph Smith had more demonic encounters than any other religious figure. We examine:- The unreliable 1833 Hurlbut affidavits (black sheep sacrifice, toad spirit, etc.)- Why high demon interaction does **not** equal demonic inspiration (Jesus had far more)- How the same logic would disqualify biblical prophets- The accounts of Joseph Smith actually casting out demons that get conveniently left outThis is a clear example of how weak sources get recycled into confident-sounding attacks. We take the claims apart piece by piece.#JosephSmith #AntiMormon #Debunked #LatterDaySaints #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Intro: A new anti-Mormon trope is being born 1:30 – The Ethan Muse debate connection 3:00 – Optics in debates & looking “possessed” 5:00 – Double standards with other religious founders 8:00 – “Joseph Smith has the most encounters with demons” 9:10 – Replace “Joseph Smith” with “Jesus” and watch it fall apart 11:00 – The black sheep “demonic ritual” claim (Hurlbut affidavit) 14:00 – Why the sheep story is historically weak 16:00 – Doctor Philastus Hurlbut: the Mark Hofmann of his day 18:20 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 19:00 – The “toad spirit” / frog magic story 21:30 – Biblical prophets also had intense spiritual confrontations 23:00 – Job, Jacob wrestling the angel, and Saul on the road to Damascus 26:30 – The Harvey Whitlock “possession” during ordination 28:00 – Jesus' disciples also failed to cast out demons 30:00 – Joseph Smith successfully casting out demons (the part they leave out) 32:00 – Newel Knight's firsthand account of being healed 34:00 – “I'm just asking questions” energy 35:30 – Final thoughts: Gossip vs. real historyJoin 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 .

What if they're actually one of the strongest evidences that the Book of Mormon is real?In this episode we dig into:- Why Nephi and Jacob clearly disagree about the Lamanites- Why treating the Book of Mormon like a single, univocal voice is a mistake- How real people (and real prophets) have different perspectives- The difference between Greek “linear logic” and Hebrew “block logic”- Why perfect agreement would actually make the text look fake- Why Scripture Contradictions Are a Feature, Not a BugIf the authors of the Book of Mormon never disagreed, that would be suspicious.The tension is the point.#BookOfMormon #LatterDaySaints #Apologetics #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Intro: Are contradictions actually evidence? 1:50 – The skin color / Lamanite discussion that started it 2:45 – Nephi's prejudice vs. Jacob's defense of the Lamanites 3:30 – “The Book of Mormon doesn't say anything” — authors do 4:30 – Real people have different opinions 5:40 – Why total univocality would make scripture look fake 7:00 – Disagreement is what makes real texts (and real podcasts) interesting 9:00 – Sponsor: Tiny3D Temples 9:50 – Stop inventing Hebrew words to erase tension 11:40 – Andrew Cavin and the James vs. Paul disagreement 13:00 – Hebrew “block logic” vs. Greek linear logic 15:00 – Prince of Peace vs. “I came to bring a sword” 18:00 – Mystery vs. solving every problem 21:00 – Nephi and Jacob as the best example of authentic tension 22:20 – Closing thoughtsJoin 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 .

There's a massive hole in the New Testament that almost nobody talks about.In the Gospel of Luke, Jesus rises from the dead… and then basically disappears for 40 days with almost no explanation. Luke gives us only 211 words about the risen Lord's ministry before jumping to Acts.In this episode, we explore:What “Luke's Lacuna” actually isWhy Luke barely covers the 40 days after the resurrectionHow Joseph Smith connected those 40 days to temple ordinancesWhat early Christian and apocryphal texts say Jesus taught during this timeWhy this “missing” period might be one of the most important parts of the Savior's ministryIf you've ever wondered what Jesus was actually doing between His resurrection and ascension — this episode is for you.#LukesLacuna #40Days #TempleOrdinances #WardRadioChapter Markers / Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: What is Luke's Lacuna?01:40 - What “Lacuna” Means (The Big Hole)02:30 - Luke Wrote Both the Gospel and Acts04:12 - Stitching Luke + Acts Together (Removing John)05:04 - “Clothed With Power From on High” = Endowment06:56 - The 40 Days Are Basically Skipped08:05 - Word Count Comparison: Luke's Massive Gap09:24 - The Bountiful Gospel Fills the Hole10:16 - Jesus Commanded Them to Stay in the Temple11:56 - D&C 95: Joseph Smith Connects It to Temple Ordinances14:55 - Joseph Smith Said Christ Taught Temple Rituals to the Apostles16:43 - Apocryphal & Gnostic Texts About the 40 Days18:35 - The Didache: The Earliest Christian Document21:03 - Why These Texts Were Rejected23:46 - “Lacuna of Luca” (Live Song)27:48 - Final Thoughts & OutroJoin 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 .

Jeff Harmon (co-founder of Angel Studios) shares a fresh and powerful interpretation of one of the most debated verses in the Book of Mormon: 2 Nephi 25:23.By connecting it to Alma 24:11, Jeff shows that “all we can do” is actually repentance — not a long list of works. This changes how we understand grace, salvation, and what God actually asks of us.In this conversation we discuss:Why “after all we can do” has been misunderstoodHow Alma 24 defines the phrase for usRepentance as turning to Christ (not perfection)Why many Latter-day Saints conflate salvation with exaltationThe gift of repentanceThis is one of the cleanest, most insightful explanations of this verse we've heard.What do you think — does this change how you read 2 Nephi 25:23?#2Nephi2523 #BookOfMormon #Repentance #WardRadio #JeffHarmonChapter Markers / Timestamps (For ~28 minute video)00:00 - Intro: A Fresh Take on an Old Anti-Mormon Trope01:55 - Jeff Harmon's New Connection in 2 Nephi 25:2303:38 - “All We Can Do” as a Defined Term in the Book of Mormon04:58 - Alma 24:11 – The Key Verse That Defines the Phrase06:05 - “All We Can Do is Repent” – The Powerful Re-Reading07:42 - Repentance as Turning to Christ (Not Working Harder)10:38 - Why This Changes Everything About Grace13:23 - Avoiding the Trap of Conflating Salvation with Exaltation14:11 - Scripturalnotes Sponsor15:33 - Repentance as a Gift, Not a Burden17:48 - Deathbed Repentance and Turning to Christ19:11 - Wounded & Healed vs. Damned & Saved21:27 - Final Thoughts on This Fresh Perspective23:53 - Closing RemarksJoin 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 .

Latter-day Saints rank near the top when it comes to marrying within their faith — right behind Hindus and evangelicals.

In 1958, scholar Morton Smith discovered a letter in the Mar Saba monastery written by Clement of Alexandria. The letter claims that the Gospel of Mark originally contained secret teachings and temple rituals from Jesus that were later removed.This letter (often called the Mar Saba Letter or Secret Mark) suggests that Mark wrote a “more spiritual gospel” for those being perfected — one that included hierophantic (temple) teachings from the risen Christ during His 40-day ministry.In this episode, we explore:What the Mar Saba Letter actually saysWhy both secular scholars and many Christians rejected itHow it provides a framework for understanding other early Christian texts about the risen Lord's ministryWhy this matters for understanding temple rituals and the post-resurrection appearances of JesusCould the Mar Saba Letter be the key that unlocks the “missing ministry” of the risen Christ?#MarSabaLetter #SecretMark #TempleRituals #BookOfMormonChapter Markers / Timestamps (Very Accurate)00:00 - Intro: Secrets of Mark & the Missing 40-Day Ministry02:41 - What Is the Mar Saba Letter?04:39 - Why Manuscripts Became Necessary After the Apostles07:25 - Morton Smith Discovers the Letter at Mar Saba Monastery (1940s & 1960)09:43 - The Academic World's Hostile Reaction12:11 - What the Letter Actually Claims About the Gospel of Mark16:11 - “Hierophantic Teachings” — Secret Temple Rituals Removed from Mark21:26 - Why Both Scholars and Christians Rejected the Letter24:59 - Defense Against Forgery Claims (10 Things Morton Smith Would've Needed)29:39 - Could This Have Been Written by a Heretic?31:48 - The Letter Provides an “Alibi” for Other Apocryphal Texts35:56 - Joseph Smith Didn't Just Restore Texts — He Restored the Rituals41:35 - Final Question: What Specifically Should We Like About Secret Mark?Join 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 .

“Fairy smut” (spicy fantasy romance novels like A Court of Thorns and Roses) has become extremely popular, including among some Relief Society sisters. But is it harmless fun, or is it shaping expectations in unhealthy ways?In this episode, we discuss:Why some women are drawn to these booksThe real-world impact spicy romance can have on relationships (from someone who investigated sexual assault cases for 15 years)A new tool called BookRata that rates books across multiple categories (sexuality, violence, language, worldview, wellness, etc.)How to make informed decisions about what you read without being overly prudish or overly permissiveBookRata works like VidAngel for books — it doesn't censor content, but it gives you clear, transparent ratings so you can decide what's appropriate for you or your family.What's your take — is fairy smut harmless escapism, or is there reason for caution?#FairySmut #BookRata #LDS #ReliefSocietyChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: “My Spouse Reads Fairy Smut”02:08 - What Exactly Is “Fairy Smut”?04:51 - Why Some Women Are Reading It06:10 - A Former NCIS Agent's Perspective on Spicy Romance09:02 - Introducing BookRata (Like VidAngel for Books)11:50 - How BookRata Rates Books (AI + Transparency)15:24 - Can You Filter by Age, Genre, or Content Level?17:13 - Romance vs. Smut — Where's the Line?19:52 - Should Parents Use This for Their Kids?21:41 - Can This Tool Help Schools and Libraries?24:44 - Final Thoughts: Balance Between Prudishness and PerversionJoin 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 current chapter heading for Moroni chapter 2 says these events happened around AD 401–421. We think that's incorrect.In this episode, we make the case that Moroni chapter 2 is not Moroni speaking in the 5th century. Instead, it is a direct record of Jesus Christ speaking to His twelve Nephite disciples during His post-resurrection ministry at Bountiful (around 33–34 AD).We explore:Why the chapter heading date is likely wrongHow this passage matches the style of early Christian texts about the risen Lord's ministryWhy the sacrament prayers we use today come directly from the resurrected JesusWhat this means for how we understand Moroni's additions at the end of the Book of MormonWhen you bless the sacrament on Sunday, you're repeating words first spoken by the risen Savior to His disciples in the Americas.What do you think — should the chapter heading be updated?#BookOfMormon #Moroni2 #Sacrament #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: Another Chapter Heading Might Be Wrong02:01 - Previous Chapter Heading Corrections (Abraham 3 & Moses)03:03 - How Early Christian Texts Introduce the Risen Christ's Words05:48 - Moroni Chapter 2 in the Original Manuscript07:34 - The Current Chapter Heading Says ~AD 40108:34 - Why This Should Be Dated to ~33–34 AD09:30 - This Is Jesus Speaking, Not Moroni11:03 - The Sacrament Prayers Come From the Risen Lord13:50 - Moroni Inserted This Because It Was Too Important to Leave Out15:53 - Should We Also Quote This When Ordaining Priests?18:18 - Final Thoughts on Updating the Chapter HeadingJoin 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 .

What if the Three Nephites weren't just ancient disciples… but beings from another world?In 1940, a Dutch man named Udo Wartena claimed he had a close encounter with visitors from another planet while living in rural Montana.According to his account, the beings:Looked like regular menTraveled in a large disc-shaped craftSaid they “mingle with your people” and “give help where needed”Refused to discuss Jesus Christ or religionIn this episode, we explore the strange parallels between Wartena's story and the Three Nephites from the Book of Mormon — immortal beings who minister among people, gather information, and offer help without interfering with free agency.Could some UFO encounters actually be the Three Nephites (or similar beings) at work? We discuss the theory, the implications, and why this story feels oddly familiar to Latter-day Saints.What do you think — were these visitors aliens, or something else entirely?#ThreeNephites #UFO #BookOfMormon #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: UFOs, Aliens & A Wild Theory01:35 - Personal Family UFO Story (Project Blue Book)03:05 - The Udo Wartena 1940 Montana Encounter04:42 - He Gets Invited Onto the Craft05:33 - “We Mingle With Your People and Give Help Where Needed”06:08 - Connection to the Three Nephites07:22 - They Refused to Talk About Jesus Christ09:34 - Parallels With Jesus' Instructions (“Tell No One”)11:50 - “Do You Hold the Priesthood?” (The Question They Left Out)14:45 - Why Haven't We Found Alien Life?17:44 - The Fine-Tuning of the Universe as Evidence for God19:53 - Final Thoughts: Aliens or Ministering Beings?Join 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 .

Matt Fradd of The Daily Wire finally breaks his silence on the major backlash following multiple anti-Mormon episodes and articles that were released in a single week.In this response, Fradd explains:As a Catholic apologist, his mission is to defend and promote Catholicism — not to be a conservative political commentator — so he will continue critiquing other faiths, including Mormonism, but the volume and timing made it look like a coordinated attack.He clarifies that the Daily Wire is a large company where things sometimes “fall through the cracks,” and this was not a deliberate company-wide campaign against Mormons.The Ward Radio hosts react:They appreciate Fradd's honesty and see it as a step toward reconciliation.They note that Fradd's core arguments against Mormonism remain unchanged, but the presentation issue was the main problem.Discussion on whether this response is sufficient and what it means for the future relationship between The Daily Wire and the Latter-day Saint community.This is a significant moment in the ongoing conversation between Catholic apologists, The Daily Wire, and Latter-day Saints.#MattFradd #DailyWire #MormonControversy #LDS #CatholicApologeticsChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: Matt Fradd Finally Speaks on the Mormon Controversy01:00 - Matt Fradd on the Backlash from Angry Mormons02:15 - Why Multiple Episodes Were Released in One Day03:45 - Matt Fradd: “Daily Wire Was Wrong to Do That”05:10 - Matt Fradd as a Catholic Apologist (Not a Conservative Activist)06:50 - Hosts React: Is This a Real Apology?08:30 - The Importance of Presentation vs Intent10:45 - Daily Wire's Broader Relationship with Latter-day Saints13:20 - Why This Response Matters for Reconciliation15:40 - Hosts' Final Thoughts & Takeaways18:10 - Matt Fradd's Palate Cleanser: A Beautiful Catholic Moment20:55 - Closing RemarksJoin 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 .

Today we invite guest, Jacob Hansen, back into the studio to ask one poignant question..." What the heck are we even doing? Let's Talk.

O.k. This is gonna be a TON of FUN! Kwaku El jumps in and sounds off about Kyle McKay, Karmelo Anthony, and Chud the Builder.

O.k. This is gonna be a TON of FUN! Luke Hanson (with a little bit of help from his friends...and the Book of Mormon) just HYPER-MOGGED an anti-Mormon apologist and it was AWESOME! We join together to react!

One of the most common anti-Mormon arguments is “God is a spirit” from John 4:24. Many use this verse to claim that God cannot have a body.In this episode, we break down:The context of John 4:24 (Jesus speaking to the Samaritan woman)What the Greek actually says (“God is spirit” is qualitative)Why 1 Corinthians 15:45 proves it's not mutually exclusiveHow to respond with a strong, clear sound biteThis is one of the cleanest and most effective ways to answer this particular objection.What's your go-to response when someone quotes “God is a spirit”?#GodIsASpirit #John424 #AntiMormon #WardRadioChapter Markers / Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: The “God is a Spirit” Argument01:01 - Common Anti-Mormon Claim from John 4:2402:04 - Context: Jesus Talking to the Samaritan Woman03:16 - What Does “God is Spirit” Actually Mean in Greek?05:07 - Qualitative vs. Literal Interpretation07:35 - 1 Corinthians 15:45 – Jesus is Called a “Quickening Spirit”08:41 - Sound Bite Response: It's Not Mutually Exclusive11:07 - How to Answer the Claim Effectively13:57 - Final Thoughts on Worshiping in Spirit and TruthJoin 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 .

This is one of the most intense and sobering episodes we've ever done.Using “canonical event synthesis,” we combine multiple scriptures (Parable of the 10 Virgins, Matthew 7, Luke 13, Revelation 13 & 17, Daniel 11, D&C 45, and more) to paint a clearer picture of the last days.The conclusion is heavy:Many (possibly most) Latter-day Saints will be deceived by a false Christ.The “5 foolish virgins” represent covenant members who fall for the deception.Satan's “mistress” is the portion of the Church that turns away.We also discuss current world events, the potential division of America, and — most importantly — how to actually avoid being deceived.This episode will challenge you. Watch with the Spirit.What do you think — is this interpretation possible?#LastDays #10Virgins #Antichrist #WardRadio #BookOfMormonChapter Markers00:00 - Intro: Satan Has a Mistress03:16 - The Parable of the 10 Virgins – Key Details We Usually Miss05:58 - “Lord, Lord” – The Language of the Veil07:57 - Why Were the 5 Foolish Virgins Unprepared?10:34 - The Bridegroom Tarries – The Second Coming Will Be Later Than Expected11:45 - Matthew 7: “Lord, Lord” and Workers of Iniquity14:19 - The Sermon on the Mount as an Encoded Endowment18:54 - Luke 13 – Additional Details About the Same Event23:08 - Luke 12 – What's on the Other Side of the Door?25:39 - Revelation 19 & 22 – The Righteous vs. the Rejected29:08 - Murder, Sexual Sin & the Unpardonable Sin33:37 - 2 Nephi 9:41 – Jesus Christ Himself Stands at the Veil36:22 - Matthew 22 – The Man Without a Wedding Garment40:26 - The Invitees Become the Murderers42:21 - Luke 14 – Complacency & the Curse of Proximity to Temples44:15 - Satan's 5-Phase Plan to Get Latter-day Saints to Worship Him47:48 - Jacob 5 & the Purging of the Church50:34 - Genesis 7 (Noah) – Another Account of the Same Event57:35 - Matthew 24:37 – “As It Was in the Days of Noah”59:23 - The Missing Piece: Why the 5 Foolish Virgins Ran Out of Oil01:00:53 - D&C 45:56-57 – They Were Deceived01:02:07 - The Big Reveal: Satan's Mistress01:03:43 - Matthew 24 – False Christs & False Prophets01:10:17 - The Antichrist in the Book of Mormon & New Testament01:12:44 - 2 Thessalonians 2 (JST) – The Man of Sin01:19:31 - A Falling Away First – Not Just the Great Apostasy01:23:55 - Revelation 13 – The Beast & the False Prophet01:31:54 - 1 Nephi 14 – The Church of the Lamb vs. the Church of the Devil01:34:34 - Revelation 17 – The Beast That Was, Is Not, Yet Is01:39:05 - Daniel 11 – The Eight Kings Prophecy01:46:24 - Current Events: Iran, the U.S. & the “Ram” Prophecy01:52:20 - The Division of America Into Four Parts?01:56:34 - The 7th & 8th Kings – How Close Are We?02:02:32 - The Antichrist Establishes His Own Church02:04:58 - How to Not Be Deceived (The Only Real Protection)02:10:40 - Final Warning & Closing ThoughtsJoin 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#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide

Jeremy Boreing of The Daily Wire dropped a surprisingly sharp take while discussing aliens and Christian theology. He pointed out the irony that many Christians seem more willing to accept the existence of extraterrestrials than to grapple with the idea that “really nice Mormons” might be saved.Jeremy's Hot Take is Blowing Christian's Minds!In this episode, we break down:What Jeremy Boreing actually saidWhy his comment resonated with so many Latter-day SaintsThe current state of The Daily Wire's relationship with Mormons (Ben Shapiro, Michael Knowles, Matt Walsh, etc.)How this fits into the broader conversation about Christian nationalism and religious inclusionSometimes the best defense of our faith comes from unexpected places.#JeremyBoreing #DailyWire #Mormon #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: Jeremy Boreing's Viral Comment on Mormons01:08 - The Clip: Boreing on Aliens vs. “Really Nice Mormons”04:03 - Breaking Down What He Actually Said06:08 - Why This Comment Hit Different for Latter-day Saints07:05 - The Current Daily Wire Roster on Mormons08:04 - Ben Shapiro = Good, Matt Walsh = Not Great09:33 - Jeremy Boreing's Positive Shift Toward Mormons10:11 - Michael Knowles and Andrew Klavan's Stances11:33 - New Developments: More Latter-day Saints on Daily Wire Shows?12:57 - Final Thoughts: Unexpected AlliesJoin 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 .

Pastor Doug Wilson, a prominent Christian nationalist and spiritual advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, told the Salt Lake Tribune that in his ideal Christian republic, only “Orthodox Christians” should hold public office — and he's unsure whether Latter-day Saints should even be allowed to vote.In this episode, we break down:Doug Wilson's comments on Mormons voting and holding officeHis vision for a “Christian Republic”Why this rhetoric is gaining traction in certain circlesHow the Salt Lake Tribune framed the storyWhat this means for religious freedom and political participationWhen prominent voices start openly questioning whether members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints should have the right to vote, it's worth paying attention.#ChristianNationalism #DougWilson #ReligiousFreedom #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: Doug Wilson on Mormons Voting & Holding Office02:29 - Who Is Doug Wilson?
