Candice Lim and Kate Lindsay are joined by Sara Petersen, author of Momfluenced, to chat about season two of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives. Mormon women once pioneered mommy blogging, so how did we get from vlogging to…swinging? The influencers who make up the reality show cast, known as “MomTok,” claim their racy antics are breaking stigmas and modernizing gender roles. In reality, they're weaponizing their misunderstanding of feminism for their own personal gain. This podcast is produced by Daisy Rosario, Vic Whitley-Berry, Candice Lim, and Kate Lindsay.

A viral TikTok divorce. A hit reality show. And a culture that's glamorizing “soft swinging” and open marriage. Dr. Phil digs into The Real Story behind HULU's The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — and the dangerous cultural shift it reveals. What used to be private, sacred, and stabilizing is now public, performative, and disposable. From consensual non-monogamy to “tradwife” rebranding, this isn't just entertainment — it's a warning. Because if marriage loses its meaning, what do we pass on to the next generation?

This week Bill McKeever and Bradley Campbell explain the importance of sharing the Gospel with unbelievers.
A Buddhist, two Mormon Missionaries, and Chuck Testa walk into a conversation to try to find the cosmic punchline in this instant classic episode of non-stop hilarity and wisdom. Chuck Testa is easily the most recognizable taxidermist in the world, due to a viral commercial for Testa's business created by Rhett & Link for the show Rhett & Link: Commercial Kings, and the catchphrase "Nope, Chuck Testa!" became an Internet meme. Elder Hobbs and Elder Andersen are two Mormon young men currently fulfilling their missionary work in Ojai as part of their religious calling who have become friends with both Jaymee and Chuck (separately) canvassing door to door, and thought they all should meet. Jaymee facilitates a beautiful discussion between the men on the nature of faith, seeing past differences, and we learn a whole lot more about both Mormonism and Taxidermy in this groundbreaking episode.Interested in Mentorship with Jaymee? email: lacee@loveistheauthor.com to set up a free consultation,or visit: www.loveistheauthor.com/mentorship SPONSORS: RAUM GOODS (www.raumgoods.com)INDIAN LODGE ROAD (www.indianlodgeroad.com) GUAYAKI YERBA MATÉ (www.guayaki.com)VALLEY OF THE MOON (www.shorturl.at/dCVh2)LITA PODCAST: hosted, produced and edited by Jaymee Carpenter.

Sphere-life has begun YFT fam! This week Brandi is in Vegas broadcasting from a place called ‘Mormon House' - just down the road from a real Mormon temple which according to Bran might be the most beautiful building ever AND the most judge-y all in one. This of course leads to an epic debate: is having a 'Mormon Face' all about natural glow or just…genetics on repeat? Meanwhile, Wells is no longer sweating it out in Costa Rica—Bachelor in Paradise has wrapped production, and your guy has some big cinematic promises for the new season. Instead he's in French Lick, Indiana, because why would you not want to go to a place called French Lick?? The bumper stickers alone would be worth the price of the plane ticket. Brandi details out the highs and lows of her first two shows at The Sphere - lost gear, USPS heroics and Kenny Chesney hittin all the right notes. What's not to love? Lastly, your hosts ask if the YFT fam has ever had to bend the truth in the name of a good story? Tell us yours in the VM's and comments y'all, we wanna hear them!

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew Soncrant and Bradley Campbell (of @GLM )sit down with Skyler Hamilton from Distinctive Christianity to explore the hidden world of Hermetic Mormonism. What happens when esoteric traditions, alchemy, and mysticism creep into a religion that already claims divine revelation? Skyler unpacks his story of coming to faith in Christ by unpacking the surprising roots and modern expressions of this strange blend of Hermeticism and Latter-day Saint theology. How deep does the rabbit hole go? And why should Christians be concerned about this growing trend in fringe Mormon circles? Tune in for a fascinating and eye-opening conversation you won't want to miss. Cultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry.

In Part Two of our Secret Lives of Mormon Wives Season 2 recap, we unpack the power dynamics and personal tensions that defined the latter half of the season—and the aftermath that followed. We take a closer look at Demi's unexpected pivot from fan favorite to sharp-tongued critic, as she throws shade on everything from Macie's book deal to Taylor's AMA gig and Jesse's hair business, hating on the ladies brand deals. But it wasn't all about the drama—this episode also explores how the women are navigating success, loyalty, and identity in a high-pressure spotlight. From behind-the-scenes moves to the shifting group alliances, we're breaking it all down with fresh insight and a few bold predictions.

This week Bill McKeever and Bradley Campbell explain the importance of sharing the Gospel with unbelievers.
Joseph Fielding Smith, a towering figure in the 20th-century Latter-day Saint landscape, is often remembered as a theologian and Church leader. But his long tenure as Church Historian also positioned him as a key interpreter of Mormon history, an area where his approach offers a fascinating case study in the relationship between faith, perspective, and the writing of the past. Our recent discussion drawing from the sources explored this complex legacy, highlighting Smith's contributions alongside critical insights into the nature of historical objectivity and bias. https://youtu.be/EyAoFsz9mn0 Church Historian When Joseph Fielding Smith became Church Historian, he faced the significant challenge of organizing sprawling, uncatalogued collections. He initiated processes that professionalized the church archives, particularly after World War II, by creating finding aids, dividing materials into collections, making lists, and microfilming documents. However, from the perspective of a professional academic historian, Smith's method of engaging with historical sources differed markedly. He treated certain documents, like the Bible and those produced by figures he considered revelators such as Joseph Smith Jr. and Joseph F. Smith, as entirely reliable and didn't subject them to critical interrogation. This lack of "suspicion of sources"—the practice of asking who wrote a document, when, and what biases they might have—is highlighted as a key distinction between Smith and professional academics. His influential book, Essentials in Church History, exemplifies this approach, treating "official LDS sources" uncritically, yet it became a foundational text shaping LDS understanding of their history for decades. This brings us to a core concept in academic historical study: the non-existence of "objective history." Writing academic history itself is considered a bias. The aim for professional historians is not to eliminate bias, which is seen as impossible, but rather to be acutely aware of bias—both in the sources they use and in their own perspectives—and to account for it in their work. This requires adhering to methods and principles developed over generations of scholarship. Mature scholarship involves being frank about one's own point of view and how it might influence interpretations. Trying to pretend one is objective is seen as a mistake. Richard Bushman is presented as an example of a scholar who openly discusses his background and how it might shape his work. RLDS Polygamy Skeptics The sources also reveal how bias can influence not just conclusions, but the very questions a historian thinks to ask—or doesn't ask. While "motivated reasoning" (steering sources to a predetermined conclusion) exists, it might be less common than bias manifesting in the kinds of questions that arise from a historian's background and positionality. The discussion used the example of Richard and Pamela Price's hypothesis regarding the influence of Cochranites on the Quorum of the Twelve and the practice of polygamy. While the Prices found evidence of contact between the groups, they reportedly don't account for the significant chronological gap between this contact and the public announcement of polygamy. This failure to ask about or explain this gap is suggested as stemming from their predisposition to believe the Quorum of the Twelve were the originators of polygamy. Most Influential Writer Joseph Fielding Smith was a prolific writer. Beyond Essentials in Church History, other notable works include The Way to Perfection, a narrative history of humanity from pre-existence to afterlife, where he explicitly stated his views on race. He also authored Man His Origin and Destiny (1954), which he considered his most important book, responding to higher criticism of the Bible and the theory of evolution. Perhaps his most widely read work during his lifetime was his "My Question" column in the Improvement Era church magazine,

Questions about what to ask someone who believes merely in a “higher power,” how to make a case for the existence of the afterlife, and whether or not we can use Revelation 22:18 as evidence that the Book of Mormon isn't divinely inspired. What questions should I ask someone I'm working with to help him think beyond a belief in a “higher power”? How would you make a case for the existence of the afterlife, and is it necessary to use the Bible in order to do so? How would you respond to Mormons who objected to my using Revelation 22:18 to explain why I don't think the Book of Mormon is divinely inspired?

1. The question Carson's sister asked that made him radically reimagine his life. 2. Why Carson is having the best sex of his life. 3. How Carson received sign-off from his Mormon Bishop for his first queer date. 4. The accident that left Carson paralyzed from the chest down at 23. 5. How ableism hurts us all. About Carson: Carson Tueller is a coach, speaker and activist whose work provides people with the tools they need to live authentic, fulfilling, and powerful lives. He identifies as queer and disabled. Carson grew up as a Mormon in a military family moving around a lot before settling in Utah. His own journey into powerful living began in 2013 when, in the same year, he came out, and was then injured in an accident that paralyzed him from the chest down. Since then, Carson has brought his work to international nonprofits and presidential campaigns – and when he isn't coaching or speaking, Carson can be found at the gym, reading non-fiction, or playing Pokemon with his niece and nephews.

This episode is about righteousness. I discuss the importance of hearing the Savior's messages through the power of the Holy Ghost. We need Christ's love, and we need His help every day. Alone, we have a harder time in this confusing and deception-filled world. With Him and the sweet influence of the Spirit life can be filled with so much more JOY! Here are the talks I mentioned: "Stand Forever" by Lawrence Corbridge "The Holy Ghost as Your Constant Companion" by Henry B Eyring Check out my book, "Feasting on the Words of Christ," where I share a simple, five-step method for receiving answers to your prayers through the scriptures. You're really going to love it!

It's Mailbag Friday! You've got questions, we've got answers! Segment 1 • Why do you always say “my never before nicotine-stained fingers”—what's the story? • How should Christians view cadaver dissection in medical training? • Should I invite Jehovah's Witnesses or Mormons into my home to evangelize them? Segment 2 • If the Bible is all-sufficient, is it a waste of time to read anything else for fun? • Is it false teaching to preach repentance but never mention God's wrath? • Why are so many wives initiating divorce—and does therapy contribute? Segment 3 • Can Maximus listen to Wretched during math class—or does Mr. Friel need to intervene? • Should a repentant sinner be allowed to disciple others right away? Segment 4 • Should we say “plead the blood” in prayer—or is that unnecessary? • Can God use depression or anxiety to break us from habitual sin? • How do I comfort an unbeliever who's grieving someone who died without Christ? – Preorder the new book, Lies My Therapist Told Me, by Fortis Institute Fellow Dr. Greg Gifford now! https://www.harpercollins.com/pages/liesmytherapisttoldme – Thanks for listening!

If Marian apparitions are considered private revelations, why are events like Our Lady of Guadalupe on the Church calendar? We explain the Church's distinction between public and private revelation—and why some apparitions are recognized liturgically. Join The CA Live Club Newsletter: Click Here Invite our apologists to speak at your parish! Visit Catholicanswersspeakers.com Please help support our mission by donating! Catholicanswersradio.com Questions Covered: 01:52 – Do Protestants receive the Holy Spirit in (valid) baptism? If so, then why would they need to be Catholic? 04:06 – Protestants are claiming that the book of James was written before the Council of Jerusalem and together with Acts 15 shows that James doesn't understand the Gospel because he emphasizes works. How would you respond? 12:21 – Is our time set in stone? 14:47 – If Marian apparitions are private revelation, why does the church recognize apparitions such as our lady of Guadalupe on the church calendar? 17:10 – What are your thoughts on the studies done that aim to determine if prayer is an effective medical tool. I'm referring specifically to prayer groups praying for the patients and not the patients themselves. Also if a non-Christian group prayed for the patients and it was shown to be effective… what would this mean? 28:30 – If the catholic church doesn’t accept a Mormon baptism because of their understanding of God… why does the catholic church accept a marriage when the people involved have a misunderstanding about the nature of the marriage [it doesn't line up with our beliefs about marriage]? 32:34 – Jesus sent his disciples to heal the sick, expel demons, purify the lepers and resurrect the dead (Matt 10). Why do we not hear much about the resurrection of dead people, but only of exorcism and healing of sickness? 36:45 – Thanks for your important work! Could you explain how the Old Testament practice of sacrificing an animal then eating it is really a sacrifice? 43:03 – Could you explain what Christian non-exclusivism entails. And more importantly, what the biblical and patristic evidence is that this is an acceptable/non-heretical position. I watched the Theology Unleashed videos you were in, and feel like this position would change entirely how I see everyone, Christians and non-Christians. Also, are there not things like the in-filling of the Holy Spirit and gifts of the Holy Spirit, that devotees of other religious traditions cannot experience or share in, outside of explicit faith in Jesus.
Utah is in the house!! Jessi is BACK on the couch, this time joined by Layla with her hot new bod. Of course we have to address the elephant in the room – the last time I was with Jessi, Demi was sitting next to her, and the two have since ended their friendship. Jessi gives us all the deets on the behind the scenes contract dispute that catalyzed the heartbreaking fallout. Layla gives insight into her new relationship, her past with Chase, and her ex husband's continued hater energy. The Mormon Wives do NOT disappoint… enjoy and go binge season 2!!
