Unveiling Mormonism

Are Mormons Christians? In a recent viral interview, Christian and cultural commentator Allie Beth Stuckey sat down with Latter-day Saint (LDS) apologist Jacob Hansen to answer that exact question. While the conversation used a lot of shared vocabulary, a deeper dive reveals that historic biblical Christianity and Mormon theology are built on completely different foundations. In this episode, Brya...

Rinsley grew up with deep roots in Mormonism—even tracing her family line back to Hyrum Smith and Brigham Young’s brother. But despite her devotion, she was overwhelmed by anxiety, guilt, and the crushing pressure of trying to be good enough for God. After becoming involved in a Mormon splinter movement that promised greater truth and spiritual experiences, she eventually discovered that no amount...

In this episode, Marie shares her powerful story of how God transformed her life—from depression, anxiety, suicidal thoughts, and hopelessness to a completely new life in Jesus Christ. She is a new creation. After years of feeling like her prayers went unheard and struggling to find God within the LDS Church, everything changed when God met her in an unexpected moment on a raft in the middle of a...

In this episode, Bryan and Brandi Bronson take a closer look at the growing divide between “old Mormonism” and “new Mormonism,” exploring how teachings on prophets, scripture, salvation, exaltation, and the Great Apostasy are being reinterpreted today. -- The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

Has Mormonism changed? That’s the question at the heart of this conversation. For many former Latter-day Saints, the answer is an emphatic yes. What they were taught growing up seems very different from what many younger Mormons believe and teach today. In this episode, Brandi shares her experience growing up in what she calls “old school Mormonism” and contrasts it with what she sees as a rapidly...

Have you ever felt spiritually exhausted, constantly wondering if you’ve done enough for God? In this episode, we unpack Hebrews 12 and explore the difference between trying to earn God’s approval and resting in the finished work of Jesus Christ. Instead of running a fear-driven treadmill of religious performance, believers are invited to fix their eyes on Jesus and run the race in the freedom, gr...

In this episode, we explore Hebrews 11 and discover that real faith is not built on visible proof, emotional experiences, or religious performance—but on trusting the unshakable character of God. Looking at the “Faith Hall of Fame,” we’ll see how biblical faith looks backward at God’s faithfulness, forward to His promises, and trusts Jesus even in the uncertainty of the present moment. -- The Unve...

The New Covenant isn't a restoration of ancient temple rituals or a performance-based "covenant path," but a relationship with the person of Jesus who already finished the work for us. When He sat down at the right hand of God, He ended the "waiting game" of religious worthiness and opened the veil for everyone to enter His rest. -- The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon...

In this episode, we look at chapter 6 in Hebrews to discover how Jesus serves as the ultimate High Priest, retiring human gatekeepers and removing every ladder between you and the presence of God. -- The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

In this episode, we explore the shift from a system where the thinking is done for you to the "solid food" of studying the Bible for yourself. Drawing from Hebrews 5, we discuss the stinging rebuke to those who remain spiritually "dull" and why it’s time to move past the milk to a direct, living relationship with Jesus. It’s time to stop being a consumer of a religious institution and finally laun...

In a culture often focused on maintaining a perfect outward appearance, the Word of God serves as a precise scalpel that penetrates past our masks to expose the hidden motives of the heart. This isn't a process of condemnation, but a necessary surgery led by our High Priest, Jesus, who was pierced for our transgressions so that we could be truly healed. -- The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls bac...

In this powerful series premiere, we kick off a nine-week deep dive into the Book of Hebrews—a text that serves as "ground zero" for anyone standing at the crossroads between religious systems and the person of Jesus Christ. For those navigating the "covenant path" of the LDS Church, the pull of tradition, community, and structured "plan of salvation" charts can be overwhelming. However, the autho...

In this episode, AJ and Brandi return to the studio to dive into one of the most jarring and controversial chapters of Mormon history: the Doctrine of Blood Atonement . AJ recounts the "shelf-breaking" moment at BYU when he first discovered that early prophets—specifically Brigham Young—taught that certain sins were beyond the reach of Jesus Christ’s sacrifice, requiring the sinner to shed their o...

In this episode, Bryan unpacks the striking parallels between Mormonism and Islam to show how both systems ultimately shift the focus away from the finished work of Jesus and back onto human effort, contrasting it with the true gospel of grace found in the Bible. -- The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history, culture and doctrine.

In this episode, Bryan sits down with two siblings who grew up on an ostrich farm in a strict Mormon home. Their stories took very different paths—one running into rebellion, the other chasing perfection—but both eventually discovered the life-changing difference between performance-based religion and the gospel of grace. -- The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls back the curtain on Mormon history,...

In this provocative episode of Unveiling Mormonism , Pastor Bryan challenges the very bedrock of the LDS faith: the necessity of a modern priesthood. By comparing the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints’ definitions of the Aaronic and Melchizedek offices against the biblical text of the NLT, we explore whether Joseph Smith truly restored an ancient order or created a new organizational hie...

In this episode Pastor Bryan challenges the popular but dangerous habit of "narcissistic" Bible reading—treating the Scriptures like a mirror to validate our own feelings rather than a window into the mind of God. By exploring the critical distinction between Eisegesis (reading our own meaning into the text) and Exegesis (drawing God’s meaning out of it), we uncover how misusing "inspiring" verses...

In this episode, former Mormon apologist Michael Flournoy shares how debating Christians and studying Scripture to defend Mormonism unexpectedly led him to the doctrine of grace—until he realized Jesus’ righteousness is a gift, not something you earn. His journey exposes the “impossible gospel” of performance and points to the sufficiency of Christ alone. -- The Unveiling Mormonism podcast pulls b...

Greater Than the G.O.A.T. Hebrews 3:1–6 Who’s the Greatest of All Time? In football, fans argue over quarterbacks. In basketball, it’s Jordan or LeBron. In soccer, Messi or Ronaldo. Every generation debates its heroes. Today we’re asking that same question—but for the Bible. If you had asked a first-century Jewish believer, the answer would have been simple: Moses. He wasn’t just a leader. He was...
