Dive into the heart of America's unraveling mysteries in this explosive episode, where investigative journalism meets unfiltered truth. We kick off with a jaw-dropping revelation from Blaze Media's Steve Baker and Joseph Hanneman, who claim to have cracked the January 6 pipe bomber case using cutting-edge forensic gait analysis—pinning it on a high-level government insider with a stunning 94% match. A federal source's reaction? "Holy F— she's one of us!" But that's just the opener: witness arrests outside an ICE detention center in Illinois, Elon Musk's chilling prophecy that AI will soon rule humanity (and we'd better make it "friendly"), investigators uncovering 100 blank ballots in a Sacramento homeless encampment, and Mel Gibson's raw take on the Church's moral decay.Shift gears into Fun Friday mode as we roast the absurdities of power gone wrong. Discover how illegal aliens are infiltrating U.S. elections—from Minnesota's Democrat State Rep. Kaohly Vang Her, who admitted her status yet clinched the St. Paul mayorship, to Kansas Mayor Jose Ceballos, a non-citizen voting in federal races since 2022. Then, get inspired by a no-holds-barred Pennsylvania man dismantling his local township commission with fiery precision, setting the ultimate blueprint for citizen pushback against bureaucratic overreach. We spotlight New Hampshire's transgender Rep. Stacie Laughton's guilty plea on child exploitation charges, complete with a campaign photo alongside supporters, highlighting the hypocrisy in progressive ranks.Wrap up with our Liberal Block and Irony Overload, where the left's meltdowns take center stage: a convert to Islam whining about "true oppression," a pastor's bizarre endorsement, and a gun-control rant dripping with ignorance. Laugh at the EU President's protest hypocrisy as a demonstrator gets hauled away mid-speech on "freedom," swastika vandalism in New York tied to an unlikely suspect, and a brutal softball collision that ends a corporate game like the World Series. This episode isn't just commentary—it's a wake-up call to the chaos, corruption, and comedy in today's America. Tune in for the laughs, the outrage, and the unvarnished facts that demand action.

We dissect the "historic" joint prayer between King Charles III (Defender of the Faith) and Pope Leo, questioning if this reunion between the Anglican and Catholic churches is genuine progress or pure PR. This high-level, symbolic unity is exposed as political maneuvering and a calculated business decision by institutions desperately trying to shore up market share and relevance as membership declines. We note the irony that while they discuss unity, centuries of doctrinal conflict and the issue of vast church wealth remain unaddressed.News Source:live: King Charles pray with Pope Leo in historic visit to VaticanBy Joshua McElligey for ReutersOctober 23rd, 2025

Division and disagreement can be found almost anywhere we look nowadays—but the Church is called to be different. Dr. Tony Evans talks about how to find the unity and harmony God intended for His people.

We are back today with part 21 of our Joseph Smith Podcast series with Dr. John Turner, discussing his new book Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet.In this episode, we explore one of the most fascinating and consequential moments in early Latter-day Saint history –the Kirtland Bank Scandal. Chapter 18 titled “Follies” (1836-1837), captures a turbulent period when Joseph SMith and the Saints in Kirtland, Ohio, faced financial ruin, internal dissent, and the unraveling of faith and community.We trace how the ambitious completion of the Kirtland Temple left the Saints deep in debt and how Joseph Smith's attempt to solve these financial woes through the creation of the Kirtland Safety Society Bank (or “anti” Bank) spiraled into one of the earliest crises of the Restoration. Against the backdrop of President ANdrew Jackson's anti-bank crusade and the Panic of 1837, the Saints' experiment with banking, prophecy, and faith would test their loyalty, their leadership, and their limits.The story unfolds through dramatic events: Joseph and Sidney hiding from sheriffs, treasure-digging expeditions to Salem in search of divine relief from debt, and the chaotic collapse of confidence in the unchartered “anti-bank.” We discuss how this episode intertwined religious revelation and financial desperation – and how it triggered what became the largest apostasy in early church history.Please purchase the book ⁠here⁠.To support this series please donate ⁠here⁠. One half of all donations will go to Dr. Turner for as long as he is participating in the series.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

“Did Moses write the Torah?” This episode dives into the authorship of the first five books of the Bible, while also addressing diverse topics such as the morality of self-flagellation among saints, the Catholic understanding of the Greek term Logizomai in Romans 4:5, and the implications of consuming a host that has miraculously transformed. Join the Catholic Answers Live Club Newsletter Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Questions Covered: 02:16 – Did Moses write the first five books of the bible? 14:10 – Is self-flagellation self harm? And were saints who did it committing a sin? 24:22 – Regarding the Greek term Logizomai in Romans 4:5. What’s the Catholic understanding of it? 35:56 – Is it wrong to consume a host that has miraculously been turned into actual flesh? 45:20 – I responded to the protestants’ objection to joining Catholicism due to scandal by saying: there will always be bad actors when humans are involved and Jesus founded the Church so Satan will target it. Is this a good response?

A lot of people are looking at the election results and asking, "How bad is this going to get?" But what happened on Election Day revealed something deeper than political wins and losses—it exposed the real battle lines being drawn in America's spiritual and cultural war. I break down what shifted, why the Left is gaining momentum, and what it means for the Church as we move into this next season. Once you see the bigger picture, you'll understand why this is not the moment to back off, but to stand firm with clarity, courage, and conviction.   Podcast Episode 1930: What Happened on Election Day and How Bad Is It For Us? | don't miss this!

A hardened heart isn't limited to those living in sin—even Jesus' closest followers weren't immune. When Jesus' disciples saw Him walking on water, they were amazed because their hearts were hardened (Mark 6:45–52). Learn how distractions, worry, and misplaced priorities can dull your spiritual sensitivity—and how meditating on God's Word and walking in faith can awaken your heart to His miraculous power.

Today we're joined by Carol Lynn Pearson—poet, playwright, and author of The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy.With extraordinary honesty, clarity, and compassion, Carol Lynn shares her deeply personal perspective on this chapter of our history and why she believes polygamy was a great mistake—one that continues to “haunt the hearts and heaven” of many Latter-day Saints today.In this episode, we learn how she holds this belief alongside a deep devotion to her faith. She shares how it's shaped her understanding of prophetic authority, and why she feels we can honor our past without being bound by it.Carol Lynn believes it's time we stop letting polygamy burden our spirits, our relationships, or our view of God. With both tenderness and conviction, she calls us to help the human family “cross the plains of patriarchy into the land of partnership.”Her faith, strength, and spiritual integrity continue to inspire us, and we're so grateful for the wisdom she brings to this conversation.Quick note—during the conversation, we mention some Come, Follow Me curriculum for children originally included in this week's lesson. Since recording, the Church has made important revisions to that material, which we would've highlighted had they been available at the time.You can find Carol Lynn's book The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy on Bookshop.org or on Amazon. This episode is part of a five-part series on polygamy. We invite you to listen to all five episodes for a range of perspectives and voices on this important topic.

Welcome to Ask Paul Tripp, a weekly podcast from Paul Tripp Ministries where pastor and best-selling author Dr. Paul David Tripp answers your questions, connecting the transforming power of Jesus Christ to everyday life.This week, Paul responds to a question from Ron about the role of the Holy Spirit. Ron noticed that many worship songs invite the Holy Spirit to “come” or “draw near,” but he's confused - if believers already have the indwelling Holy Spirit, why do we sing that way?If you have a question you'd like to ask Paul, you can email ask@paultripp.com or submit it online at PaulTripp.com/AskSunday Matters: 52 Devotionals to Prepare Your Heart For ChurchPaulTripp.com/Sunday

How Daily Habits Transformed His 36-Year Marriage: Harvey's Story Marriage is holy work. Maybe you're reading this today because you're hoping your marriage will change. Maybe you're reading this because you've prayed, "Lord, please help my marriage," when really you mean "Lord, please help my spouse!" I hope this blog and episode will make you feel both comforted and inspired — that you'll be reminded your marriage can change, not by grand gestures or perfect communication, but by small, faithful, daily habits of love. This is what Harvey discovered as well. That it wasn't grand gestures or big sweeping shifts that changed his marriage, but small, daily, consistent habits that brought it God's love, peace, and patience into his marriage. Changing Your Priorities: When Hard Work is Leading to Disconnect Harvey and his wife have been married nearly 37 years. Together, they raised four kids and built a life on their dairy farm. For decades, he worked two full-time jobs—teaching high school by day and farming by night. He says, "Every day was between 12 to 16 hours. My wife was incredibly supportive, but I just wasn't there emotionally." Maybe you can relate. Life's responsibilities pile up, and before you know it, years have passed. You're functioning—but not really connecting. Despite his faith and commitment, Harvey admits that emotional and spiritual intimacy were missing. He wanted closeness, but didn't know how to get there. A Different Kind of Prayer—and a Different Kind of Growth After retiring from teaching, Harvey finally had space to seek help. He'd been listening to our podcast for years and decided it was time to join Masculinity Reclaimed, our men's program. The first surprise? It wasn't about changing his wife! It was about learning to love her the way Christ loves the Church. He started with one habit: daily time with God. Reading Scripture. Praying. Reflecting. And eventually, he began praying with his wife in the mornings—a completely new rhythm in their 36 years together. That quiet time, over coffee and prayer, became a beautiful and cherished time for emotional connection. The Turning Point: Accepting Your Wife as She Is Halfway through the program, Harvey realized that for years, he had been looking at his wife through the lens of what she wasn't. She wasn't this, she wasn't that... But when he stopped trying to change her and started accepting her for who she is, the woman he fell in love with, the woman she had always been, rather than who he hoped she might someday become–everything began to shift. That acceptance made her feel safe. Seen. Loved. And when a woman feels safe, her heart opens. His wife began to blossom before his very eyes and the connection Harvey had longed for finally began to grow. The Habits That Build a Marriage Here's the truth: marriage is a system of habits. Paul says, if you're married, you will have trouble. (1 Corinthians 7:28) You'll have to think about how to please your spouse. (1 Corinthians 7:34) Are you in the habit of thinking about your spouse? Are you in the habit of considering them and putting them first? Are you in the habit of encouraging, loving, praying, and serving them? It's not always easy work — but it is good work. Every word, every look, every morning prayer can help build connection. That's why transformation doesn't happen overnight. It happens in the daily choices. Final Thoughts Friends, you don't have to wait to start changing your marriage. Harvey shared with us, "I wish I had learned these things earlier in my marriage." We want that for you as well!  You don't have to wait to retire or for your kids to be out of the house. You don't have to wait to be a certain age or have been married a certain number of years. You can start investing in your marriage now, today, to say that the next 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 years of marriage were incredible. That is what we want for you. And we know, that no matter where your marriage is at right now, it can change. Just ask Harvey. We are rooting for you and we know that we serve a God who makes all things new– and that includes marriages.   God bless you!   With love, The Delight Your Marriage Team   PS - If you're ready to take the next step and get into a community that knows what it's like and are doing the hard work themselves– we'd love to chat with you. Click here to schedule a free Clarity Call with one of our Clarity Call Advisors and take the next step in healing your marriage. PPS - Are you a fan of this work and wish more people knew about it? We are launching an In-Person Training program this January and we would love to come to your church, workplace, community group, or wherever you gather! For more information, visit our In-Person Training page. PPPS - Here is what another recent grad had to say about our program: "I've become more contented and patient and focused on [my wife's] needs and a better listener I think. She says our home has less tension since I've been doing the program. I take that as a win!"

Bishop Schneider delivers a powerful meditation on martyrdom, warning that in an age of confusion, even Church leaders risk compromising truth.

What happens when your purpose gets weaponized, relationships are rewritten by group doctrine, and chess becomes both sanctuary and battleground? In this powerful second part of our convo with Danny Rensch, we return to unpack life after his “purpose ordainment,” and the heartbreak of being separated from his mother by cult coercion. With raw honesty, Danny shares how spiritual manipulation, covert contracts, and collective pressure led to the deepest trauma of his youth and how healing and reconnection became possible, despite loss and pain. We chat about his wild chess tournament sagas, the story of Igor (the inappropriate Russian master with a soft spot for broken kids), and the unraveling of the Church of Immortal Consciousness as generations, money, and ideals collided. Danny gets real about calling things what they are, facing the dark side of “doing good,” and why his redemption arc is proof that you are not what happens to you—you are what you choose to become. We also drop a secret character from his book who collided with NXIVM. File this one under: complex, courageous, and essential listening.Fill in the gaps in our convo and read Danny's gripping memoir, Dark Squares: How Chess Saved My Life.

A hardened heart isn't limited to those living in sin—even Jesus' closest followers weren't immune. When Jesus' disciples saw Him walking on water, they were amazed because their hearts were hardened (Mark 6:45–52). Learn how distractions, worry, and misplaced priorities can dull your spiritual sensitivity—and how meditating on God's Word and walking in faith can awaken your heart to His miraculous power.

Opening: Setting the Record StraightNo, The Catholic Man Show isn't joining The Daily Wire. A sincere congrats to Matt Fradd on taking Pints With Aquinas to a bigger platform—and a case for celebrating a brother's success without the cynicism.Why Moves Like This MatterMedia realities, families to provide for, and why “selling out” is usually just a lazy take. Bigger reach can mean more souls reached—full stop.Pilgrimage Debrief: Rome, Florence, and AweFlorence surprises: the David, the Medici footprint, and why the city stole the show.Rome moments: St. Mary Major, the House of Loreto, and the joy of praying where the Holy Family lived.Padre Pio: devotion, controversy, and a frank take on the modern shrine aesthetic.A Feast-Day Field NoteSt. Hubert, patron of hunters, meets a proud dad moment: a 12-year-old's first solo hunt, patience under pressure, and why rites of passage matter for boys.Main Topic: Obedience Without CaricatureAquinas on obedience: not the greatest virtue (charity is), but among the highest of the moral virtues because it orders us to the good.Catechism on authority (cf. 1897ff): authority is legitimate when it seeks the common good and respects moral law; unjust commands do not bind.Three “levels” of obedienceModern resistance to authority vs. Christian freedom: obedience is not blind; it's charity and justice in action.Socrates, the Coliseum, and Costly WitnessA lively back-and-forth: unjust sentences, martyrdom, and whether courage sometimes looks like staying put.Fatherhood and the Pattern of ObedienceChildren learn reverence for God's authority by seeing Dad obey the Church, pray when he doesn't “feel like it,” and submit his will to the good.House rules and spiritual rule: why outside authority often works better than self-made resolutions.Community CornerThanks to patrons, cookies, and a few inside-baseball notes about keeping a niche Catholic show on the air without taking a dime personally.Key TakeawaysCelebrate good work when Catholic creators get a larger platform.Obedience isn't weakness; it's strength directed toward the highest good.Legitimate authority deserves assent; unjust commands do not.Fathers model obedience that forms a family's conscience.Pilgrimage sharpens conviction—beauty and history catechize the heart.Mentioned in the EpisodeSt. Thomas Aquinas: Summa Theologiae, II–II, q.104 (obedience).Catechism of the Catholic Church: on authority and the common good (around 1897–1904).St. Hubert: patron saint of hunters.Padre Pio: witness of obedience amid misunderstanding.House of Loreto, St. Mary Major, Florence's David: moments where beauty meets belief.

In this episode of Come Follow Church History with Lynne Hilton Wilson, Dr. Wilson sits down with historian Dr. Janiece Johnson to explore one of the most complex and often misunderstood chapters in Latter-day Saint history—the introduction of plural marriage in Nauvoo. Together, they discuss the deep faith, sacrifice, and obedience of early Saints who strove to follow what they sincerely believed was a divine commandment revealed through the Prophet Joseph Smith. Despite the personal heartache and social challenges that came with practicing plural marriage, figures like Joseph Smith, Brigham Young, and many faithful women and men sought to live this principle with devotion, humility, and integrity. Dr. Wilson and Dr. Johnson also delve into the eternal perspectives behind the doctrine of eternal marriage, exploring how the Saints in Nauvoo viewed family, sealing, and covenant relationships as essential parts of God's plan of salvation. Though plural marriage was a defining test of faith for the early Church, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints do not practice this principle today. This episode invites viewers to look at this sensitive topic with empathy, understanding, and appreciation for the faith and courage of those who lived it.

Patrick gently responds to a listener's fear of attending Mass, advocating both spiritual and therapeutic support, and assures a young Protestant woman that the Church holds space for everyone, whether or not they have a family. Donation updates, reflections on government funding explored via Elon Musk’s recent remarks, and gratitude for listener support thread through the hour, keeping things urgent, compassionate, and grounded in community connection. Alex - If IVF is not approved by the Church what else is there that is Catholic approved for those struggling with infertility. (01:04) Marlene (email) - I love listening to you and Drew.

I worked in an industry that ran Motor Vehicle Reports. 100 year death indicator. People will go to the cemetery and shop around for names and assume a dead person's identity. (44:58)

Patrick opens with prayer, sharing the urgency of the Relevant Radio pledge drive while fielding questions about rekindling faith in family members, finding peace in confession, and understanding Protestant perspectives on Catholicism. He offers practical book suggestions, directs listeners to free resources, and reassures those carrying spiritual worries. 93-year-old woman from Houston - Her 63-year-old son, who, during a serious health scare, went to confession for the first time in a very long time. Can Patrick recommend any books or other resources that might inspire him to want what the Church offers? Second question, her daughter is a Calvinist. Can Patrick recommend any resources that would help Mom gently explain the problems with the Calvinist church? (01:21) Stanley – I may have hid sins and I don’t know the number of times I’ve sinned. I’m concerned that I’m not in a state of grace. (13:05) John - Why do other denominations say that the Catholic Church is in apostasy? (22:30) Rick - Why are we so strong and stringent about IVF when there are Catholics voting for serial abortionists and Church leaders enabling politicians? (40:26)

The Hidden Lightness with Jimmy Hinton – The future of faith in America may well depend on the church's ability to navigate this technological turning point. But the deeper question is not about the tools themselves. It's about identity: Who are we when our digital lives begin to curate our spiritual ones? Can the church preserve its humanity in a world driven by data?

After talking about warning labels on bibles and reporting on state/church news, we hear Brandi Carlile's new song "Church and State." FFRF Senior Litigation Counsel Sam Grover joins us to talk about our newest lawsuit with South Carolina plaintiff Jim Reel, who was denied becoming a poll worker because he could not swear "so help me God."

This week on The Mormon Newscast, we kick things off with the story everyone's talking about—Latter-day Saint women lining up in droves to snag the Church's new sleeveless garments. For decades, complaints about the old design have simmered quietly, but this release sparked a full-blown “garment gold rush.” We'll unpack what this says about control,… Read More »Mormons Can’t Get Out Of Old Style Garments Fast Enough !

China, the world's most populous secular state, arrests Christians from an unsanctioned house church, illustrating blatant religious persecution disguised as political control. We dissect how the CCP justifies suppressing "harmful" ideologies—like Christianity's patriarchal views on women and property—to maintain political power and internal harmony. This aggressive approach is a clear warning against Western societies giving any religion preferential treatment.News Source:China Arrests 30 Christians at Unsanctioned Zion ChurchBy Alicia Rahman Sarkar for The IndependenceOctober 16th, 2025
