The conversation opens with Ryland recounting how the verse describing Jesus "standing on the right hand of God" is often used by Latter-day Saints as evidence against traditional Trinitarian concepts. The central question is simple yet deep: How can Jesus stand next to God if, by Trinitarian understanding, they're the same person?
In this fun and engaging episode of WARD RADIO, Cardon sits down with LDS rapper Fidatrix for a lighthearted yet meaningful conversation about music, faith, and culture.

Cardon, Brittany and Tikla dive into the conversation around the controversial topic of childhood baptism in the LDS Church, specifically focusing on whether baptizing children at eight is developmentally appropriate or a form of indoctrination.Cardon Ellis opens the discussion by referencing recent criticisms from ex-Mormon therapists who claim that an eight-year-old is too young to make such a significant decision— equating certain baptismal teachings to "emotional abuse." These critiques are unpacked and often met with skepticism by the hosts, who challenge the way terms like “trauma” and “abuse” are applied in this context.
Cardon and Joseph, who kicks off a free LDS Truth Claims series, drawing inspiration from Brett McDonald's lectures.

Cardon is joined by Adam and Madeline Packer for a candid conversation exploring how Adam used an Excel spreadsheet as part of his decision-making process when choosing his wife.The story launches with some classic Ward Radio banter and playful jokes, but quickly turns to Adam's unique approach to relationships. While taking an advanced Excel modeling class for his finance degree, Adam realized he could repurpose a weighted averages project—originally meant for evaluating job opportunities after college—to help him decide who to seriously pursue in his dating life. Factors he ranked included being strong in the gospel, desire for a temple marriage, family compatibility, and, openly, attractiveness (“hotness” getting a high weight on the spreadsheet!).

Cardon Ellis welcomes Rick McGee from Springfield, Missouri, to dive deep into why Missouri (especially its Mormon community) is experiencing rapid growth and renewed attention.Cardon opens with some humorous behind-the-scenes banter as the two get settled, setting the tone for a relaxed, candid conversation. The main catalyst for the discussion is the noticeable surge of Latter-day Saint (Mormon) families and professionals moving into Missouri, particularly triggered by the recent announcement of a third temple being built in Springfield. Rick explains that historically, waves of Mormons have moved to Missouri for spiritual reasons—inspired by the area's doctrinal significance in LDS history and prophecies related to Zion and Adam-ondi-Ahman—but lately, practical reasons like economics, job opportunities, and affordability are also major factors.

Are smart people less religious? Ward Radio host Cardon Ellis sits down with Jonah Barnes and Austin Falter to challenge one of the biggest modern myths—that intelligence and faith don't mix. Using real data from Ryan Burge's graphsaboutreligion.com, the team uncovers surprising trends showing that higher education often increases church attendance and belief across nearly every demographic, including within the Latter-day Saint community.With humor, insight, and hard facts, Cardon and his guests dig into why “smart” and “spiritual” aren't opposites—and why educated believers might just be leading the charge in faith and family. If you've ever wondered whether data supports devotion, this episode has the answers.

Both were struck by Helmuth's courage: a teenager risking his life to spread the truth, despite knowing the consequences could be fatal. Ella's favorite moment was Helmuth's bold testimony before the people's court, where he declares he's not being executed for doing wrong but for telling the truth, leaving viewers in awe of his moral clarity and conviction.
Cardon sits down with Elder TikTok to explore what's drawing young people toward—and pushing them away from—the Mormon church in today's digital age.
Cardon is joined by Austin and Brittany with their guests, BYU students Carly, Joe and Drew. They tackle one of the most persistent questions and stereotypes surrounding Brigham Young University (BYU): Is BYU really "this way"?The conversation kicks off with a playful analysis of a viral campus interview video titled “Utah Mormons are Different,” where BYU students are asked tongue-in-cheek questions about dating, marriage, and BYU culture. They react to answers that seem to play into stereotypes, like needing to convert and get married in the temple to "pull" a Mormon, RMs (returned missionaries) pursuing recent high school graduates, and the much-memed BYU engagement timeline ("my neighbors dated for a week before getting engaged").
Cardon and Jonah Barnes dive deep into scripture, scholarship, and the culture of LDS academia.The discussion begins playfully as Jonah explores chiasmus—a poetic structure in ancient texts—within the Book of Moses. He highlights a striking pattern between Adam and Eve's statements after the Fall, jokingly calling it their “epic rap battle.” Adam's partial chiasmus is countered by Eve's bold, complete one, centering the doctrine of the “fortunate fall.” Jonah notes this insight hasn't appeared in scholarly literature, making the discovery all the more thrilling.
Cardon Ellis is joined by Ella Katzenbach, who put together both an article and a video on the topic, capturing authentic responses from fellow students on campus. This episode centers around the immediate student reactions at BYU to the passing of President Russell M. Nelson, the late prophet and leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The conversation opens with Cardon and Ella discussing the news of President Nelson's death, which sadly was overshadowed in broader media by a tragic shooting in Michigan that same day. Despite this, Ella was able to gauge campus sentiment and conduct interviews with several students.
Most Latter-day Saints think they know what the Pearl of Great Price is—but what if we've all been misunderstanding it? Cardon sits down with Jonah Barnes, author of Lost Gems of Genesis, to uncover the overlooked origins, revelations, and hidden depth of one of the Church's most fascinating volumes of scripture. Jonah reveals that the Pearl of Great Price isn't one continuous text, but a compilation of distinct revelations—given to Joseph Smith, Moses, and Adam at different times. He clears up major misconceptions about the so-called Joseph Smith Translation of Genesis, explaining why it's not really a “translation” at all. The conversation dives into: The real story behind the Pearl of Great Price's compilation, how the “lost 116 pages” might connect to Genesis material, why Joseph Smith's revelations show unmatched originality, and yes—why Jonah calls the Pearl of Great Price the “Oops, All Berries” of scripture. Whether you're a lifelong member or just curious about the foundations of Latter-day Saint belief, this episode will change how you read the scriptures forever.
Cardon is joined by Ella Katzenback and guest Leah Tomlinson to dive deep into how Gen Z students at Brigham Young University (BYU) are rethinking marriage, children, and family size in today's world.While large families have long been a celebrated part of Latter-day Saint (LDS) culture, shifting priorities and economic pressures are shaping new perspectives. Many students now prioritize financial stability and career readiness before considering marriage or kids, reflecting a growing sense of caution and pragmatism. Some women describe prioritizing finding a spouse over academic or professional ambitions, while men share the heavy economic pressures they feel to be providers before marrying.Our conversation highlights the tension between faith-driven ideals and real-world financial challenges, including the rising costs of raising children and the expectation of dual incomes in modern households. At the same time, BYU students share a genuine fondness for family and siblings, with many still aspiring to raise four to six children—though often fewer than the generations before them.Blending personal interviews, cultural reflection, and religious insight, this episode explores the unique crossroads where faith, finances, and modern values meet. While the traditional LDS vision of large families is evolving, the desire for family life remains strong, hopeful, and deeply tied to faith.
Cardon and BYU student Ella Kotzenbach reflect on the profound impact of Charlie Kirk's assassination on the BYU and UVU communities.With on-the-ground student interviews from Haley, Maya McGavic, Ethan Clark, and Reese Schmidt, this episode captures the raw emotions, grief, and spiritual searching that swept across both campuses. From candlelight vigils to spontaneous gatherings at temple grounds, students share how this tragedy reshaped conversations, friendships, and faith journeys. Many describe the campus atmosphere shifting from its usual energy to one of reverence, silence, and unity. Beyond the politics, Cardon and Ella highlight how Kirk's message of integrating faith into daily life left a lasting mark on Gen Z students, sparking reflection and even bringing some back to church. This episode is a portrait of a generation facing grief, grappling with belief, and choosing love and faith as a response to tragedy.

Cardon and co-host Austin sit down with Drew Scarborough, Joseph Gambot, and Kwaku L. to unpack a timely question: Why do young people in the Church need apologetics now more than ever? Joe shares how he nearly lost his faith after a flood of anti-LDS content online—but found his way back through honest, bold apologetics. Drew opens up about drifting into megachurch culture in Texas before rediscovering a personal walk with God. Together with Cardon, Austin, and Kwaku, they explore why intellectual answers AND emotional connection matter for faith today.From hidden faith crises at BYU to the cultural pull of megachurches, this is a candid, powerful look at why apologetics isn't about “winning debates”—it's about building resilient testimonies and keeping the next generation anchored.
The Book of Abraham is one of the most controversial parts of Latter-day Saint scripture. Critics claim Joseph Smith couldn't have translated it, the facsimiles don't match, and there's no evidence supporting his account. Egyptologist Kerry Muhlestein joins Cardon to break it all down.Together, they tackle the top 3 “killer arguments” against the Book of Abraham and explain why they don't hold up. From missing papyri to facsimiles and evidence that actually supports Joseph Smith, Kerry shows that the situation is far more nuanced than the sound bites suggest.This episode dives deep but stays practical and real — blending humor, faith, and scholarship to help you see the Book of Abraham with fresh perspective.
Cardon together with Jonah and Austin dive into the unforgettable moments and key messages from the recent "Make Babies and Grow a Garden" General Conference talks. They explore why the phrase “have babies and grow a garden” is trending as the new “touch grass” in conservative LDS circles, and unpack Rasband's deep dive on the origins and spiritual significance of the Family Proclamation. The discussion also highlights Dallin H. Oaks and President Nelson's strong stance on family, marriage, and birth rates—along with their powerful calls to action.The hosts share how these talks encouraged listeners to live more deliberately through simple, meaningful choices like camping, gardening, turning off screens, and prioritizing family productivity. You'll also hear personal reactions to the talks, including stories, memorable quotes, and tips for grandparents and families to stay engaged.
Cardon sits down with Egyptologist Kerry Muhlestein to unpack the myths, assumptions, and lazy learning that dominate conversations about the Book of Abraham. Together, they challenge the sound-bite culture that treats skepticism as “objective” and faith as “biased,” showing how both sides often rely on unproven assumptions.Kerry explains why secondary sources and quick takes fall short, how Joseph Smith's idea of “translation” was broader than critics assume, and why ancient texts resist simple, one-size-fits-all answers. The discussion tackles papyrus theories, scholarly blind spots, and the need for honest engagement with scripture itself—not just internet arguments.At its heart, this episode is about moving past surface-level debates to a deeper, more nuanced search for truth. Kerry's scholarship and Cardon's lively questioning create a compelling, accessible conversation that will challenge believers and critics alike to rethink what they thought they knew about the Book of Abraham.
Cardon sits down with Egyptologist Kerry Muhlestein to explore the “Top 10 Reasons to Believe in the Book of Abraham.” Their conversation moves beyond defensive apologetics into a thoughtful, candid, and sometimes lighthearted discussion of why the Book of Abraham deserves to be read as both an authentic ancient text and a source of profound spiritual truth.Kerry shares insights from years of scholarship, showing how historical details, linguistic patterns, and archaeological discoveries align with Joseph Smith's translation. Just as importantly, he explains how the Book of Abraham continues to inspire personal revelation, deepen understanding of God's covenant with His children, and connect ancient faith with modern discipleship.Rather than treating the text as a controversy, this episode highlights the richness of the Book of Abraham, the doctrinal depth it offers, and the lived spiritual experiences that testify of its divine origin. It's an invitation not just to study the evidence, but to encounter God through the words of Abraham himself.
Is selling LDS-themed products really “priestcraft,” or just another double standard in our culture? Cardon and co-host Austin, together with David Love, and the guys from No Unhallowed Hand dive into the controversy with humor and honesty—tackling everything from tiny 3D temples to LDS socks, and why creative labor in the church often gets undervalued. This episode asks the real question: are faith-based entrepreneurs building culture, or crossing a line?
The LDS Church in Tanzania just went from decades of stagnation to explosive growth.
Cardon Ellis from Ward Radio joins me on my first joint "walk." We stepped out from the FAIR conference (a great conference and organization) for a few minutes to discuss the Q&A with Church Comms Director, Aaron Sherinian. We talk about some of the ridiculous statements from LDX (online community), discernment between an act and the person, and the background that led to so many people asking the question on his stance on The Family Proclamation to begin with. Also important, the reaction by a loud minority of online trolls against FAIR and even Aaron Sherinian is disappointing. First, FAIR is an incredible organization that I fully support. Scott has done a fantastic job running that organization. Second, please more fully separate the person from the act and focus on the act, not the person. I don't bring these things up to look for a scapegoat or create a witch hunt. But for some, they can't help themselves. I am about the actual issues. In almost all cases, I bring up the event without bringing up a name. Obviously, in this case, that is not possible. Website- cwicmedia.com
