Podcasts about Mormonism

In this episode, Matt sits down with Joe Heschmeyer—author, debater, and Catholic Answers apologist—to talk about (and question) what we believe to be true, what's real and what's not, conspiracy theories, morality, and much more. 

Rich and I were commenting after the show, "Why don't we do this more often? That was great!" Good calls on lots of topics as always. Two were on Reformed Baptists in churches of another denomination (one Lutheran, one PCA). Also calls on the early church writers, Mormonism, etc. Enjoy!

So one day I'm out taking one of my magical ​life-changing long walks​ when suddenly two guys are like "Hi! How are you?!" And I look up kind of stunned because I'm walking around downtown Toronto where no one really pops out of the woodwork to shout a "Hi! How are you?!" at you … What do I see? Two young men smiling back at me. Like, big smiles! Gigantic smiles. Dressed up, too. It takes me a minute to piece it together but turns out they're Mormon Missionaries living away from home for two years with the sole purpose of teaching people about their church. They asked me what I'd heard about Mormonism and I said, uh, well, they don't drink much and they have a lot of kids. Oh, and there's a play called The Book of Mormon! Super ignorant. I got to talking to them and my fascination with these guys deepened. They are teenagers. They go by Elder Cox and Elder Corona. They are living away from home for two years while most of their peers go to college. They get no TV, no music, no books, no booze, no bars, no dating, and no… well, no anything most teenagers would be interested in. Do they have doubts? Do they have fears? What if no one believes in them? How successful are they? How do they even define success? So, we are sitting down with two teenage Mormon Missionaries to discuss their three most formative books and what it's like devoting your life to one sole mission, purpose, and faith. I found this conversation enlightening and inspiring on many levels. I hope you do, too.

In a repeat broadcast, Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson talk about the issue of contention in conversations with Latter-day Saints.

Part 7 When one is dealing with a cult, there are always two main areas where the scope of the target is aimed.  Attacking either one of these is enough to designate a group a cult, but more commonly, one will find that the cults delight in destroying both.  What are these two areas of repeated attack?  The person of Jesus Christ and the doctrine of justification by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone.  No cult will ever discard the name of Jesus, as the devil seeks through subtilty to catch the unsuspected soul off guard.  Muslims have a Jesus, Jehovah's Witnesses have a Jesus, the Roman Catholic Church has a Jesus, and so do the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.  The question is not whether they have a Jesus but which Jesus.  Do they have the real Jesus of Holy Scripture?   How is one to determine whether the Jesus Christ of Mormonism is the Jesus Christ of Scripture?  How is one to know whether the Jesus Christ of the LDS Church is the genuine Jesus or a counterfeit imposter?  The only way of ascertaining this is by examining LDS doctrine as it relates to Jesus Christ, they profess.  In this seventh teaching part, careful examination shall be given to see if the Mormon Jesus is the biblical Jesus.   Download teaching notes (pdf) https://traffic.libsyn.com/secure/bethesdashalom/7_The_Doctrine_of_Christ.pdf

Author of the viral 2016 essay Dear Mormon Man, Amy McPhie Allebest joins me to talk all things feminism in and beyond a patriarchal faith tradition. We get into how deeply patriarchy is baked into Mormonism and the wider world, why recent shifts in the church's treatment of women can feel more harmful than helpful, and how to uproot patriarchal thinking in ourselves and our communities.

In this episode, we uncover the hidden world of Mormonism — from Joseph Smith's treasure-digging origins and Brigham Young's desert theocracy to the Danites, Mountain Meadows Massacre, and the modern LDS empire fueled by billion-dollar investment arms, political pipelines, Freemasonic roots, and a counterfeit gospel that shapes everything they do. We follow the threads through theology, secrecy, Israel connections, government over-representation, and financial power to reveal the complete picture behind the polished missionary smile.In the second half of the podcast, Bill Schnoebelen's classic Prophecy Club lecture, What Is Wrong With Mormonism, dives into the hidden doctrines, temple rituals, and occult roots of the LDS Church from the perspective of a former insider. Drawing on his firsthand experience and research, Schnoebelen exposes the Masonic foundations, false revelations, and spiritual dangers embedded in the system that most missionaries never reveal at your door—a perfect companion to tonight's deep dive.Email: thefacthunter@mail.comShow Notes:BYU Jerusalem Centerhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BYU_Jerusalem_CenterMoriah and the Mormon Leadershiphttps://www.bibliotecapleyades.net/bloodlines/mormon.htmEzra Taft Bensonhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ezra_Taft_Benson

Wednesday, 19 November 2025   But Jesus said to them, “They do not need to go away. You give them something to eat.” Matthew 14:16   “And Jesus, He said to them, ‘They have no need to depart. You, you give, them to eat'” (CG).   In the previous verse, the disciples came to Jesus, noting the remoteness of the area and the late hour, imploring Him to send the people away so they could buy food. In response to that, it now says, “And Jesus, He said to them, ‘They have no need to depart.'”   Although each gospel narrative stands on its own, it is still interesting to see the fuller conversation. Mark's gospel omits the words “They have no need to depart,” but it adds in the words, “And they said to Him, ‘Shall we go and buy two hundred denarii worth of bread and give them something to eat?'” Luke likewise leaves out this first clause and omits the additional words of Mark. John's narrative says –   “Then Jesus lifted up His eyes, and seeing a great multitude coming toward Him, He said to Philip, ‘Where shall we buy bread, that these may eat?' 6 But this He said to test him, for He Himself knew what He would do. 7 Philip answered Him, ‘Two hundred denarii worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that every one of them may have a little.'” John 6:5-7    Each account is from the writer's own perspective, and yet, they can be harmoniously woven together. In Matthew, Jesus continues, saying emphatically, “You, you give, them to eat.”   One can see the emphasis from Jesus returned to the disciples based on their words, emphatically highlighted by the remoteness of the area –   *“Desolate, it is, this place, and the hour, it passed already. You dismiss the crowds that, having departed into the villages, they should buy themselves food.”   *“They have no need to depart. You, you give, them to eat”   Jesus is providing instruction in who He is and what He is capable of, and He is doing it in a manner that has astonished the minds of His people for two millennia. These are His disciples, and they have been called to accomplish an impossible task. Despite this, the mass feeding will take place, exactly as Jesus directs.   Life application: The miracle of feeding this multitude is something that the Bible asks us to believe at face value. We are not to look for some behind-the-scenes finagling on the part of the disciples or Jesus. In other words, there wasn't a convoy of trucks just on the other side of the hill, secretly ready to deliver food to feed the multitudes.   Rather, God provided the food for the people just as He did with the manna in the wilderness for forty years. It was a true miracle that is to be accepted as such. God continues to perform the miraculous in ways we may not perceive or understand, even to this day. These are done in order to suit His purposes.   Unfortunately, too often, people claim the miraculous when what occurred had nothing to do with God's providing a miracle. There are key issues we should look for to determine if something is truly miraculous.   One is to ask if the matter brought glory to God. That is the first and key point. However, such cannot be a miracle that supposedly glorifies God but which doesn't glorify Jesus. There are innumerable claims of the miraculous in Catholicism, which supposedly highlight Mary or some other figure. Buddhism, Islam, Hinduism, and other religions claim miracles all the time. Do a general search on YouTube and you'll see this.   Likewise, claims of the miraculous come from Mormonism and other false cults that fall under the umbrella of “Christian” denominations. If biblical Christianity is true, these miracles cannot be real, God-directed miracles. Paul speaks of false gospels, false prophets, false brethren, and the working of Satan, which includes power, signs, and lying wonders.   Therefore, not everything that appears miraculous is. In fact, the large preponderance of so-called miracles in the world is nothing but chance events, false claims, or active workings of Satan. As you read the Bible, evaluate the miracles in it and consider why they are recorded.   They will always be there to glorify God and to validate His workings in and among His people or for their instruction. Have discernment, and don't trust anything simply because it is presented by someone who claims to be Christian. You will find that almost every supposed claim of divine intervention, be it dreams, tongues, appearances, or other supposed miraculous events, is simply hogwash.   The Bible is written. It testifies to Jesus and His workings. Do you really need more to edify your walk before the Lord? Have faith in what God has done. If He does more in your life, be grateful that His hand was upon you for whatever need you had, be it healing, financial help, or a moment of encouragement that you alone share with Him and that builds you up as His child.   Lord God, help us to have discernment and not to get caught up in things that are not helpful to our relationship with You. There are way too many distractions in this life that are neither edifying nor healthy. Keep us from such things, O God. Amen.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints regularly presents itself as a Christian church. In this episode, the Thinking Fellows examine what Mormons get wrong about Christianity and how LDS doctrine leads its followers to worship a false god.

Orson F. Whitney's Elias—An Epic of the Ages stands as Mormonism's most ambitious literary achievement, a sweeping poetic retelling of the plan of salvation and the Restoration.

In this episode, Meg Rittmanic invites Hester Murdock back to explore the cyclical nature of the Divine Feminine through the lens of the Snow White fairy tale and what she is terming the "Heavenly Mother Renascence" in Mormonism. They discuss the historical context of the Divine Feminine's rise and fall, the importance of acknowledging the deaths of feminine movements, and the journey towards spiritual independence. The conversation emphasizes the need for gradual change as well as acute awareness in understanding the Divine Feminine's role in contemporary spirituality. This conversation delves into the complexities surrounding the Divine Feminine, particularly within the context of Mormonism. It explores historical perspectives, cultural misunderstandings, and the challenges faced in recognizing and integrating the concept of Heavenly Mother within a patriarchal institution. The discussion highlights issues from co-optation to cannibalization, emphasizing the importance of reclaiming and understanding the narrative surrounding the Goddess with eyes wide open, hearts prepared to grieve, and confidence to take the next steps; whatever those may be for each individual.

Jacob Vidrine tells how authority transferred from Benjamin F Johnson in Nauvoo to Alma Dayer LeBaron and the LeBaron groups. Check out our conversation... The LeBaron authority line, originating from Benjamin F. Johnson, is like a secret royal charter given directly by the king (Joseph Smith) to a trusted advisor, authorizing him to establish a new subsidiary branch of the kingdom. While other fundamentalist lines (Woolleyites) claim authority based on a later, more public decree (John Taylor's revelation), the LeBaron claim bypasses that decree entirely, asserting that they hold the direct, foundational keys passed down in private, reserved councils from the original founder, allowing them to continue the highest work of the kingdom regardless of later organizational changes. 0:00 Succession Crisis 11:15 End of Council of 50 19:45 Ben Johnson Ordains Grandsons 25:56 Ervil, Joel, Ross, & Dayer LeBaron 37:38 Woolley-ite Split Don't miss our other conversations with Jacob: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jacob-vidrine Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission When most people, particularly those familiar with the history of the Latter-day Saint (LDS) Church, think of Mormon fundamentalism, their minds often drift immediately to groups like the FLDS or the AUB, tracing their origins back to the Lorin Woolley story. These groups represent 80 to 90% of fundamentalists who trace their authority back to the story of John Taylor receiving an 1886 revelation to keep plural marriage alive. However, the history of fundamentalism is far more complex, encompassing groups like the Kingstons and the LeBarons, who assert a distinct and separate line of authority. The LeBaron family lineage, from which the Church of the Firstborn descends, presents one of the most peculiar and historically rich claims in fundamentalist Mormonism, tracing its authority back to the Nauvoo period of Joseph Smith's ministry. The LeBaron name often carries stigma due to Ervil LeBaron, who led the Church of the Lamb of God and was a convicted murderer. This historical exploration focuses on the lineage claimed by the Ross LeBaron line, or "Firstborners," who are not associated with Ervil's violence. Roots of LeBaron Authority: Nauvoo Priesthood To understand the LeBaron claim, one must examine the higher orders of priesthood introduced by Joseph Smith in Nauvoo. This era saw the introduction of new temple rituals, doctrines pertaining to godhood, and work for the dead. Central to this was the concept of the "fullness of the priesthood" or "highest order of the Melchizedek Priesthood," associated with making men and women kings and priests and queens and priestesses. Joseph Smith taught that this authority derived from keys restored in the Kirtland Temple by Moses, Elias, and Elijah. Statements from the time suggest that those who received this highest authority—such as the second anointing—held the potential to restore the entire church and kingdom, possessing power to officiate in any office from the lowest to the highest. This higher authority was sometimes referred to as patriarchal priesthood. This higher order was perceived as priesthood above the church. During the trial of Sidney Rigdon, for example, Heber C. Kimball stated that Rigdon, despite being a member of the First Presidency, did not hold the same "higher authority" possessed by more than 30 other men. This higher authority may have referred to members of the Anointed Quorum or the Council of Fifty. Council of Fifty & Sealing Power The Council of Fifty, established in the last months before Joseph Smith's death, was intended to be the political kingdom of God on earth, functioning as a literal government. However, historical sources suggest it was viewed by many, including Lyman Wight and critical "Brewster-ites," as a presiding priesthood body that held authori...

Spring of 1842 was a world-shaping event, the introduction of the endowment ceremony by Joseph Smith to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We've talked about it and a few of the more recent changes to the endowment a few times, but this is the overview. What it was when it was introduced, how it changed under Brigham Young, and many of the changes that have happened since his death, all under one (long) segment. Then we talk about Heretic, a movie about two missionaries in a cat-and-mouse game with a well-educated anti-Mormon playing by his own rules. Then we wrap with happy news from ABC and Jimmy Kimmel responding to the government shutdown and SNAP running dry.   Show Notes:  https://addfaith.org/blog/faith/belief/keystonelds/top-10-abandoned-temple-practices-in-latter-day-saint-history/?fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTAAYnJpZBExVTljWWlzYnQ3cVF2bk1mcHNydGMGYXBwX2lkEDIyMjAzOTE3ODgyMDA4OTIAAR4ldMRGSktTbiKihaWAr75MQpqYcXLwOH1L_n2_hMARqtaV3AFEhm_CQGyvAQ_aem_A-UXdJKWRl0r9HF-XTHanQ https://mormonr.org/qnas/8yXbNf/changes_to_the_temple_endowment?gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=21298130384&gbraid=0AAAAApfYZiGCSKCnJskKXVHwOtYoi8FLG&gclid=Cj0KCQiAq7HIBhDoARIsAOATDxAt2apFmzOJxyHKemm-PaDlf5wAy2Yd4mkrE7X-agfFTR0s7wmxAJoaAstJEALw_wcB#footnote-20 https://archive.org/details/historysaints00benngoog/page/n287/mode/2up https://bhroberts.org/records/qmx2mh-44hPsk/william_clayton_describes_the_nauvoo_endowment http://www.ldsendowment.org/timeline.html http://www.ldsendowment.org/emeline.html https://archive.org/details/dialoguebetweena00vand/page/12/mode/2up?q=vengeance http://www.ldsendowment.org/1879.html http://www.ldsendowment.org/1931.html http://www.ldsendowment.org/lecture.html https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/times-and-seasons-1-june-1842/8 https://scholarlypublishingcollective.org/uip/dial/article/20/4/33/236178/The-Development-of-the-Mormon-Temple-Endowment https://www.dialoguejournal.com/wp-content/uploads/sbi/articles/Dialogue_V34N0102_87.pdf https://rsc.byu.edu/sites/default/files/pub_content/pdf/Freemasonry_and_the_Latter-day_Saint_Temple_Endowment_Ceremony.pdf http://www.ldsendowment.org/masonry.html https://mormonr.org/qnas/8yXbNf/changes_to_the_temple_endowment/research https://mrm.org/masonry-and-the-mormon-temple-endowment-ceremony https://cesletter.org/debunking-fairmormon/temples-and-freemasonry.html https://www.jstor.org/stable/44368772 https://tokensandsigns.org/2023-temple-changes/ https://bhroberts.org/records/yXnsPd-ZcTVNd/heber_c_kimball_records_in_his_journal_new_arrangements_for_the_endowment_ceremony_such_as_elohim_peter_james_and_john_conducting_adam_and_eve_through_the_telestial_and_terrestrial_kingdoms https://mormonr.org/qnas/8yXbNf/changes_to_the_temple_endowment https://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/25154/what-is-the-origin-of-a-phylactery-as-a-soul-jar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koshchei#cite_ref-FOOTNOTEKazakhTV20182._Entertaining_etymology._5:10-_1-0 https://bhroberts.org/records/qqPgcb-CrpCyb/in_an_epistle_to_the_relief_society_joseph_smith_cites_masonry_as_an_organization_whose_members_know_how_to_keep_secrets https://www.josephsmithpapers.org/paper-summary/council-of-fifty-minutes-march-1844-january-1846-volume-1-10-march-1844-1-march-1845/389#full-transcript https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/history/topics/temple-endowment?lang=eng https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Endowment_House https://books.google.com/books/about/Temple_Mormonism.html?id=r3TKtgAACAAJ   MOGP: Heretic: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt28015403/   Happy News:  https://www.thewrap.com/jimmy-kimmel-live-food-bank-donation-center-government-shutdown/ Other appearances: Chris Shelton interviewed us in the beginning of a series on Mormonism on his Speaking of Cults series.

Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson examine why early Latter-day Saints viewed Independence, Missouri, as the “center place” of Zion and the future site of God's temple in the last days.

In this week's episode of Sister Wives, we couldn't help but notice how uncomfortable things felt between Kody and Robyn — especially during those dancing moments. It brought back memories of Mormon church dances and wedding receptions, including our own, and how deeply those experiences reflect the culture we grew up in.We also dive into how polygamy and Mormonism often frame jealousy and suffering as spiritual growth — that women are supposed to overcome jealousy to “become better,” and that faith means learning to endure to the end. But what happens when “enduring” starts to mean not living?Join us as we react to Sister Wives Season 20, Episode 7 and talk about the deeper beliefs behind the culture — where joy is often postponed for a promised reward in the next life.If you or someone you love has left polygamy and needs assistance, please reach out to "Holding Out HELP" at 801-548-3492 or visit their website at www.holdingouthelp.orgAt Growing Up In Polygamy our mission is to "Create compassion for communities that have been misunderstood, marginalized and/or abused by their leaders, and to empower those who have left by giving them a platform to share their stories with the world."If you would like to DONATE to this cause you can do so here: https://donorbox.org/growing-up-in-polygamyInsta: @growingupinpolygamyNew website is now up! www.growingupinpolygamy.comTheme Song created by @artcowles Please feel free to reach out to us!growingupinpolygamy@gmail.com

Patrick fields questions ranging from interfaith marriage challenges and sacramental validity with Catholic and Mormon backgrounds, to the moral concerns around IVF and surrogacy, offering honest, direct responses. Lighthearted moments arise as listeners ask about the show’s quirky music, while practical faith matters like kids at Mass and women’s veiling spark candid reflection. One caller’s emotional struggle with the show’s treatment of Mormonism, as well as a spirited critique from a listener, prompt Patrick to address criticism head-on and keep the conversation refreshingly real. Stacy - How do I explain to someone that by becoming Catholic that they are not going back on what they believe in? (00:34) Catherine - How can I support my friend's daughter-in-law who is using IVF? (10:43) Email - With deep regret, I can't listen to you anymore… (19:35) LeeAnn – I love your bumper music (27:03) Michael - My Church has a ministry for kids to go to during mass (36:19) Carol - Where can I find out more about wearing a veil at mass?

In this episode of Mormon Stories, John and Margi Dehlin sit down with Sharon Beesley, a therapist, writer and former Mormon “mommy blogger,” to explore the evolution of her faith journey in Mormonism.Sharon was brought into the church as a child in Florida when her mother chose to convert. She discusses the warmth and community she found in her ward there, and the early testimonies that grounded her. Yet her story also weaves through deep loss with the death of her mother, and how that grief initially drew her closer to the Church.Sharon attended BYU, got married, and set out to live the ideal Mormon lifestyle. Their family ultimately ended up in New York city, where Sharon began to find relationships with people outside the church. With this move, her worldview began to shift as she encountered new ideas about faith, feminism, and authenticity.Topics Include:-Growing up Mormon in Florida-Coping with grief through faith-Marriage, motherhood, and mixed-faith relationshipsFeminismThis episode offers a gentle, wise, and grounding perspective for anyone navigating faith transitions, loss, or rediscovering joy beyond belief.___________________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.
