One of the things I love the most about the scriptures is that as our walk in our discipleship of Jesus Christ matures and changes so to do the scriptures. Certain passages will take on new personal meanings given our current circumstances. This is why the scriptures will always be relevant. On this episode of the podcast I have Taylor Smith back on. Taylor is working on a hypothesis that in the b...

I believe that Mormonism and the LDS Church every so often has watershed moments. The moments serve as inflection points signaling the direction the LDS church will head and the speed at which they intend to make changes to serve this new course. I believe that one such inflection point just happened at the last LDS General Conference when Elder Allen D. Haynie gave a talk in which he stated that...

There are certain ordinances and principles in the Restored Gospel that were revealed by the early leaders of the LDS Church that are no longer practiced or even remembered.

You might remember Ben from a previo...

Well here we are, the economy is shaky, we are in at least a proxy war Russia, China is rattling its saber threatening to invade Taiwan, Canada has begun euthanasia for depressed teens, and here at home there is a large portion of our society that thinks gender mutilation of our children is a good idea, oh and that’s on top of abortion still happening.

One of the things we as fundamentalists and even traditional LDS folks fight against is stereotypes. Some of the worst stereotypes are reserved for women who are fundamentalists or are traditional LDS. You hear the same accusations all the time. “They all where prairie dresses, they must be so beaten down and oppressed, they must not be educated if they choose to live that way and the list goes on...

About a month ago the LDS church announced that they had made sweeping changes to the Temple ordinances, specific the endowment. With that in mind I thought now would be a good time to have a conversation about the Temple. I though about how to do this without revealing to much. Lucky for me I know a Temple President. On this episode I have on Dan Hatch. Dan is the Temple President for The Righteo...

So let me paint you a picture. I left early Friday morning to head to where our Churches Temple is. I get very little cell coverage. I visited with friends, attended the Temple, attended Church on Sunday and left for home about two o’clock Sunday afternoon. On the drive home I just was thinking to myself “man I love it when I can just unplug and feast spiritually. About the time I got back into to...

We are living in a world today that feels wrong. From our jobs, to our schools, and for some folks even their churches. It’s as if we have slipped into some kind of dystopian future where things have gone off the rails so badly that we don’t recognize our world any longer. If you’re like me it sometimes makes you sit back and wonder if you’re the one who’s crazy. Look I am guessing if you’re liste...

One thing that I am constantly amazed by is that every time “the science” proclaims a matter “settled” it won’t be too much longer after that that new evidence comes out to disprove the current narrative. Global Warming gets dismissed because we had some really cold years so it turns into Climate Change. The vaccines are effective….both of those turned out to be 100% wrong after “the science” had...
