Podcasts about Mormonism

In part two of Lola & Meagan's interview with Bride of Christ Church Survivor, Zacch Comfort, they discuss how leader Thomas Clyde Smith Jr's control tactics got more extreme once the group moved to the Orgeon commune, including separating children from their families, requiring people to hit each other in church, and cycling children into his home for sexual abuse, as well as how the group fell a part and Zacch's life now working in a psychiatric hospital.

One of the key factors that influences how we view God, outside of how our parents view God and the church, is the type of religious background we grew up in. Mormonism, in particular, has a strong impact on the people who are part of it. They are often taught that they can become a god and, if that's the case, On today's episode, Madison Palica and I discuss what it was like for her to grow up in the Mormon church. She discusses the struggles and difficulty in needing to deconstruct to truly understand who God is. However, this led her down a path of trying out different religious and spiritual practices that led her further away from God. Thankfully, Jesus opened her eyes and she gave her life to Him a few years ago. We mainly discussing the following topics: - What it was like for her to grow up in the Mormon church- What damaging views the Mormon church has- What it was like for her to deconstruct her Mormon faith- Not deemed worthy enough to enter the temple- Believing that God is emotionally abusive- Turning to other religions and unhealthy spiritual practices - new age, witchcraft, meeting with a medium, crystals, psychedelics, spirit guides, transcendentalism- And lastly, what Madison has learned about Jesus since she was savedIf you have any questions or comments on this topic, feel free to  email me at slconnect08@gmail.com.Remember to please LEAVE A REVIEW for the podcast as it helps get the word out to a larger audience, and remember to SUBSCRIBE and/or follow on Itunes, Spotify, Stitcher, GooglePlay, and all other podcast platforms.If you're on Facebook and/or Instagram, I'd greatly appreciate it if you SHARE this episode! :)Support the showFOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM:@godattachmenthealingFOLLOW ME ON FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/samlanda23/​ABOUT ME

Join Lance and Brandee Heppler as they share their personal journeys in Mormonism and delve into mental health challenges they faced as they tried to be good Mormon parents. In this episode, Lance talks about his orthodox upbringing in Oregon, serving his mission in South Carolina, and his panic of finding someone to marry before graduating from BYU. Meanwhile, Brandee shares her struggle of not fitting in at church due in part to her parents being converts and her undiagnosed ADHD, making her wonder why it seemed God made her too "rowdy" as a woman instead of more subdued and "proper". Together they navigate the traditional gender roles expected of them as a married couple in the church while raising young children and serving in various callings. As they grapple with issues such as feminism and LGBTQ issues in the church, they also confront their own mental health struggles and the lack of support from the Mormon community. They share powerful insights about the often transactional nature of Mormon relationships and the harmful effects that come from some teachings that associate mental health struggles with sin. This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by those raised in Mormonism and the impact it can have on mental health.

It's Wednesday, March 15th, A.D. 2023. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Jonathan Clark Nigerian pastor's son killed by bandits Bandits in northern Nigeria killed a pastor's son last Friday. They also kidnapped the pastor's wife and three other family members. Peter Mukaddas, a local leader, told Nigeria's Daily Post that the bandits invaded the community in the early morning. Then, they headed straight to the pastor's house and carried out the killing and abductions. Mukaddas is calling on the government to rescue the pastor's family. Local police have been unresponsive. This continues the trend of Nigeria's government doing little to oppose such violence. He said, “We are fervently praying to God to touch [the kidnappers'] hearts so that they can see the wisdom to release them.”  According to Open Doors, Nigeria is the sixth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Tens of thousands participate in Spain's pro-life march On Sunday, tens of thousands of people joined the Yes to Life march in Madrid, Spain. Five hundred groups supported the event in an effort to oppose “all laws and practices that threaten life and human nature at any moment of its existence, as well as the businesses and ideologies that sustain them.” Last month, Spain passed legislation allowing girls as young as 16 to get an abortion without parental consent. Football Coach Joe Kennedy reinstated after Supreme Court win Last Wednesday, First Liberty Institute announced a Washington State school district has reinstated Joe Kennedy as their assistant football coach, reports CBN News. In 2015, the Bremerton School District suspended Kennedy for praying on the football field after games. The following year, he sued the school for violating his religious freedom. Last year, the U.S. Supreme Court heard his case and ruled in his favor. Hiram Sasser with First Liberty celebrated the reinstatement, “We are thrilled that Bremerton [High School] and Coach Kennedy are back together, and we hope they go undefeated.” Congress Overturns D.C. Legislation for the First Time in 30 Years   Last November, the Washington, D.C. City Council, inspired by the Woke Crowd, revised its criminal code to reduce penalties for certain crimes. They did this even as the nation's capital faces increased gun violence and carjackings.   However, because the District of Columbia is not a state, Congress has final say in the matter. Last Wednesday, the U.S. Senate nullified D.C.'s attempt to reduce criminal penalties. The House passed it on February 9th. And now, President Joe Biden said he will sign it. Perhaps they did so because the politicians live in D.C. and want to see criminals receive the maximum penalty.   It's the first time since 1991 that Congress has overturned local D.C. legislation.  The overturned legislation would have reduced the maximum sentences for carjackings and robberies. It also would have removed mandatory minimum sentences in most cases. Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” U.S. Senate reduces penalties for D.C. carjackings and robberies The U.S. Senate passed a resolution last Wednesday, nullifying changes to the Washington, D.C. criminal code. It's the first time since 1991 that Congress has overturned local D.C. legislation.  If it becomes law, the revised criminal code will reduce the maximum sentences for carjackings and robberies. It also would remove mandatory minimum sentences in most cases. If it passes the U.S. House, President Joe Biden said he will sign the resolution. This comes as the nation's capital faces increased gun violence and carjackings. Ecclesiastes 8:11 says, “Because the sentence against an evil deed is not executed speedily, the heart of the children of man is fully set to do evil.” Americans favor Christianity, detest Satanism and Scientology A new poll from YouGov surveyed Americans' views on 35 religious groups and belief systems. Christianity in general was the most highly favored belief system. The next most favored system was Protestantism. Other groups like Roman Catholics, Lutherans, and Anglicans scored lower, but were generally viewed positively.  On the other end of the spectrum, Satanism and so-called “Church” of Scientology, founded by L. Ron Hubbard, received the worst favorability scores. They were followed by Jehovah's Witnesses, Islam, and Mormonism.  Dallas abortion mill shut down Praise God! The largest abortion mill in Dallas, Texas shut down earlier this month. It had stopped doing abortions since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe  v. Wade last year. The mill was operational for 50 years, killing thousands of unborn babies. Texas Right to Life reports that “Southwestern Women's Surgery Center was owned by long-time, late-term abortionist Curtis Boyd, who is an ordained Baptist minister and bragged, ‘Am I killing? Yes, I am!'” Psalm 50:16 says, “But to the wicked God says: ‘What right have you to recite My statutes or take My covenant on your lips?'” World's most premature twins celebrated first birthday And finally, Guinness World Records reports the world's most premature twins celebrated their first birthday earlier this month. When Shakina Rajendram went into labor four months early, doctors told her the twins had a zero percent chance of survival. But, in God's providence, Adiah and Adrial are alive and well a year later. Disturbingly, the Canadian hospital denied the twins life-sustaining measures at birth. However, their parents were able to transfer them to Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto for care.  Her husband, Kevin, said they clung to their Christian faith in the process. KEVIN: “Amidst all that scenario of being told that the chance of survival is pretty much 0%, the chance of significant disability is really high, we were just clinging to our hope and faith, trusting in God.” Close And that's The Worldview in 5 Minutes on this Wednesday, March 15th in the year of our Lord 2023. Subscribe by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Martine, a Belgian convert to Mormonism, shares what growing up in Belgium was like and how she and her sister end up converting to Mormonism. She eventually made it to the United States to attend General Conference and get her Patriarchal Blessing when her sister decided to serve a mission. Due to connections with several families of missionaries, she finds a job as a nanny and eventually makes it to BYU where she is reintroduced to Stuart, whom she'd briefly met as a missionary in Belgium. Though he hadn't known her well, Stuart instantly recognized Martine at a Young Single Adult (YSA) activity and things took off from there until he asked her to be with him for eternity. Martine happily accepts this proposal from an established, generational Mormon returned missionary. However, the engagement is soon jeopardized by challenges between Martine's desire to follow the brethren's admonitions not to put off having children (and wanting a dozen of them!) as the quintessential Mormon housewife with Stuart's practicality regarding his ability to financially support children while still having several years of school left.

YouTube Link In this engaging interview, Mike from LDS Discussions, Nemo the Mormon, and John Dehlin review the failed prophecies of Mormonism's founder, Joseph. They start by discussing what the Bible says about failed prophecies and those who tell them. They then delve into specific failed prophecies, including the Second Coming of the Lord in 1891, the fall and overthrow of the US government, and the "everlasting" covenant of the United Order. Other failed prophecies discussed include the failed treasure seeking mission to Salem and the failed attempt to sell the Book of Mormon copyright. Was Joseph wrong or is it was God's fault? What good is having General Conference, either way? The hosts also discuss how FAIR Mormon tries to spin failures into fulfillments and concludes with some final thoughts on the implications of these failed prophecies of Joseph for Mormons today.

Drinking, parenting, the laugh police & Mormonism. What do all these topics have in common? More like WHO has all of these things in common. Bryce Prescott is today's guest and he's got more interesting facets than Baskin Robin's has flavors.  The episodes are never scripted - I go in with an open mind and let the conversation flow. My conversation with Bryce may have set the record for the number of seemingly unrelated topics all covered in one conversation. We cover drinking and the process of quitting. We wade into the stream of "cancel culture" and how it impacts comedy and comedians. We dive into Bryce's background in Mormonism and how that impacted his comedy as well as how his faith has evolved. Yeah, as I said...it's a diverse mix! FAMILY FRIENDLY NOTE: There's some colorful language that made it into the episode. Nothing explicit, but there are a few words you might not want your 5 year-old hearing. That said, you will laugh.

What's it like to be the only Latter-Day Saint (Mormon) in a Southern Divinity School? Mark Mabry is a practicing Latter-Day Saint, formerly known as The Mormons, who moved to the bible belt where he entered The Vanderbilt Divinity School in Nashville, Tennessee. Paul and Mark discuss his faith and his Vanderbilt classroom made up of a diversity of students from various Christian denominations. Students earn a Master of Theological Studies while others are in the Masters of Divinity Program. Most will go on to become Pastors or Chaplains. Because some Christian churches don't believe Latter-Days Saints are Christian, Mark and Paul explore LDS theology and Mark's Christianity.

Ok, you know when you hear about something and the person who is telling it is trustworthy and wouldn't lie about what they are talking about but the thing they are talking about is so wacky you have to pull in another source who knows just as much about it to confirm the insanity you just heard? That is what this episode is! Kathleen's husband sits in the room with us to help give insight to the topic of Mormon tithing and the breaking headline. You don't get to hear his voice but he's like an advisor throughout the episode. It's super interesting for those of us that don't know much about Mormonism to hear how the LDS do tithing and how they have handled the tithing. We hope you find today's episode informative. If you are part of the LDS and find yourself defensive when people talk against the Mormon Church then we encourage you to listen but if that's too much for you feel free to check out our other episodes. We mean well and don't want to cause harsh feelings to be stirred up. Next week we will be posting another Book Club with the words largest Atheist Podcast host, Seth Andrews. He was an absolute joy to have on the show and we are so excited to finally drop the episode. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/thechristianandathiest/support

YouTube Link Jill and Julie Durrant share their Mormon upbringing and the challenges they faced within the faith. They discuss the expectations placed on Mormon children and the milestones they must achieve to be considered successful in the community. Julie's scrupulosity and the patriarchal blessing she received add to her struggles. Jill talks about the superiority you can feel as a Mormon and the cognitive dissonance she experienced when her sister, Alli, came out as a lesbian. Jill went on a mission to find answers about her siblings, and Julie's faith crisis begins in earnest after talking with her son, Tom. They discuss the complications of navigating family dynamics and the difficulty of leaving the church. Ultimately, the Durrant family's story is one of resilience, growth, and learning to navigate the complexities of life within and outside of Mormonism.

The Latter-day Saint religion lives or dies on the story of the Book of Mormon. Was it true or just a fantastical story to rile up a new religion in the wake of the 1800's? Bill McKeever, Director of Mormonism Research Ministry, joins Came Unto Christ for this episode to talk about the story of the gold plates from the hill Cumorah! Was this truly a divinely appointed event or was Joseph Smith just playing tricks? Find out in this episode! About the guest: Bill McKeever founded Mormonism Research Ministry in 1979 with the hope of informing the Body of Christ about the differences between Mormonism and Christianity. He is also an author. His writings include In Their own Words: A Collection of Mormon Quotations (Morris Publishing, 2010), Answering Mormons' Questions: Ready Responses for Inquiring Latter-day Saints (co-authored with Eric Johnson, Kregel, 2013), and Mormonism 101: Examining the Religion of the Latter-day Saints (Baker, 2015).
