Cracking The Code: Tracing Book of Mormon Origins 3:16:22

3:16:22

[Mormonism Live 225] What if one of the most foundational parts of the Book of Mormon wasn’t ancient at all—but lifted from a 19th-century Methodist Bible commentary? In this episode, Mormonism Live dives into what may be the most significant academic finding in Mormon studies in decades: compelling evidence that Joseph Smith used Adam Clarke’s biblical commentary—a massive, scholarly work from the early 1800s—as a source while “translating” Isaiah into the Book of Mormon. Based on Colby Townsend’s stunning new paper, we break down direct textual connections, show how Smith edited Isaiah using Clarke’s scholarly notes, and explore what this means for the Church’s truth claims, the notion of “translation,” and the very origin story of the Book of Mormon. This episode could change the conversation around Joseph Smith’s methods forever. Don’t miss this deep dive into what looks like the scholarly smoking gun behind one of Mormonism’s sacred texts.

Jared Halvorsen: Unshaken… Until the Backlash 2:11:21

há 2 dias2:11:21

2:11:21

Religion professor and popular LDS podcaster and apologist Jared Halverson set off a firestorm this week with a video urging women to stay in the Church, even if they feel unseen, unheard, and second-class. The backlash was swift and fierce, with women from across the Mormon spectrum calling out the spiritual harm embedded in his message. On Mormonism After Dark, RFM and Bill Reel brought in powerhouse voices Dr. Julie Hanks and Britt Hartley to dissect the issue — and their responses struck a nerve. Halverson eventually issued an apology… but did it land? Did he really get it? Tonight, we break down the full timeline of this unfolding controversy — from the original video to the fallout, the apology, and the deeper implications about patriarchy, power, and performative faith. Was it a misstep — or a mirror held up to the system itself? Join us for a full, unfiltered look at the Halverson Escapade — only on the Mormon Newscast. In addition, we also have more temple updates, namely the Fairview and McKinney Temples and the public buzz around them. We look at a new ai LDS tool that has just been announced, check out the new clothing styles permitted by the sleeveless garment, and ensure everyone is ready for Conference just around the corner!

Inside the Closet: How Mormon Conversion Therapy Tried to ‘Fix’ Me 2:29:19

What happens when your faith tells you that your identity is a flaw to be corrected? In this episode, we sit down with Sam Nieves, a conversion therapy survivor, board member of the Conversion Therapy Survivor Network, and a clinically trained therapist with a background in Cognitive Psychology. Sam takes us deep into his lived experience growing up in Mormonism, where his sexuality and even his skin color were framed through a toxic theology of righteousness. In a LDS/Mormon belief system where “becoming white and delightsome” was once literal doctrine, Sam learned early on to associate purity with whiteness—and straightness. That twisted framework blurred lines in deeply harmful ways, pushing him into the shadows of shame and eventually into conversion therapy. Sam will walk us through the devastating process—how it was initiated, including messaging from MTC leadership, and how it affected his psyche, his sense of self, and his path to healing. This episode doesn’t just expose what goes on behind the closed doors of so-called “conversion therapy”—it empowers vulnerable listeners to recognize red flags and find help. Sam shares insights from both his trauma and his training, offering critical resources and language for anyone caught in similar webs of psychological and spiritual manipulation. Warning: This conversation includes themes of trauma, homophobia, and racial messaging within religious contexts. But it also includes truth, clarity, and hope.

The Newest Shift On The Racist Priesthood Ban 1:32:16

BREAKING: The LDS Church has quietly updated its official Gospel Topics essay on Race and the Priesthood — and yes, the shift is significant. In this episode of Mormon Newscast, we take a deep dive into the newest revision to one of Mormonism’s most controversial topics: the Church’s historic ban on Black men holding the priesthood and Black members entering the temple. The Gospel Topics essay has long danced around accountability, but a recent update subtly shifts language and tone — raising serious questions about whether the Church is inching toward an overdue reckoning… or just polishing the PR. We unpack: What changed in the essay What it signals (and what it avoids) Why this matters for members, ex-members, and public observers alike We also take a look at Elder Renlund’s promise that the Church will “do better for women” Tune in as we analyze the Church’s slow pivot on race and gender — all under the banner of continuing revelation… or is it continuing reputation management?

Ex-Mormon Psycho Lawyers From Hell: RFM: 390 2:56:25

When Jacob Hansen got called out for his sleight-of-hand tactics, he didn’t offer a defense—he offered a diagnosis: Kolby Reddish and RFM are “psychotic.” But if anyone’s losing touch with reality, it might be the guy slicing and dicing evidence like a Benihana chef trying to make Book of Mormon logic sizzle. In this episode, RFM and Kolby turn the tables on Jacob’s latest attempt to revise reality. Watch as the apologetic illusionist gets exposed for doing what he always does: cutting out inconvenient facts, spinning what’s left, and hoping nobody notices the smoke and mirrors. It’s sharp, it’s hilarious, and it’s a masterclass in how not to argue. Tune in as RFM and Kolby Reddish dismantle the gaslighting—one manipulated “proof” at a time.

Have you ever heard of the Book of Mormon Challenge? It is a way Mormons have of trying to prove the Book of Mormon is true, by challenging a non-believer to write a comparable book in the same amount of time as Joseph Smith used on the Book of Mormon. Well, it looks like RFM may have done that very thing. Can you imagine what will happen to the apologists if it turns out Radio Free Mormon is the one who beat the Book of Mormon challenge???

The Best Revenge: Rameumptom Ruminations Episode 108 18:12

Leaving a high-demand religion can be a painful and transformative experience, but how do we ensure we don’t repeat the same patterns of judgment and exclusion we once faced? In this episode, we explore the cycle of harm, the dangers of tribalism, and how we can engage critically without dehumanizing others. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and personal reflection, we examine how anger can be valid but also limiting if it leads us to mirror the very systems we left behind. True freedom lies not in fighting fire with fire, but in breaking the cycle with compassion, integrity, and a commitment to personal growth.
