WARD RADIO

This is one of the most intense and sobering episodes we’ve ever done. Using “canonical event synthesis,” we combine multiple scriptures (Parable of the 10 Virgins, Matthew 7, Luke 13, Revelation 13 & 17, Daniel 11, D&C 45, and more) to paint a clearer picture of the last days. The conclusion is heavy:Many (possibly most) Latter-day Saints will be deceived by a false Christ. The “5 foolish...

Jeremy Boreing of The Daily Wire dropped a surprisingly sharp take while discussing aliens and Christian theology. He pointed out the irony that many Christians seem more willing to accept the existence of extraterrestrials than to grapple with the idea that “really nice Mormons” might be saved. Jeremy's Hot Take is Blowing Christian's Minds! In this episode, we break down:What Jeremy Bore...

Pastor Doug Wilson, a prominent Christian nationalist and spiritual advisor to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, told the Salt Lake Tribune that in his ideal Christian republic, only “Orthodox Christians” should hold public office — and he’s unsure whether Latter-day Saints should even be allowed to vote.

A photo of Latter-day Saint Ryker Jackson making a hilarious “soyjack” face while playing Twilight Imperium exploded on X with over 1.4 million views.

In this episode, we break down:Why this random board game photo went mega-viralThe wildest comments and memes it gen...

We found what might be the worst (and funniest) Mormon history explanation on the internet. A comedian tried to explain how Joseph Smith started Mormonism… and it went very wrong. From calling him “John Smith,” to saying Brigham Young snitched on him to the government, to claiming he was killed in Philadelphia — this one has it all. We break it down, laugh at it, and decide if it’s actually good r...

In this fiery Ward Radio episode, the crew tackles one of the biggest frustrations in LDS wards: endless, unproductive Sunday meetings that steal time from families.

From 8+ hour meeting marathons to revolutionary ward experi...

Ben Shapiro recently addressed the controversy surrounding Matt Walsh and the Daily Wire’s coverage of Mormonism. In this clip, he explains that the real issue wasn’t criticism of Mormonism itself, but the fact that it was published as a standalone article without similar pieces on other religions — making it appear as though Mormons were being singled out. Shapiro also gave a surprisingly warm sh...

There’s a new generation of anti-Mormon creators on Social Media… but they’re just recycling the exact same arguments from 30 years ago.

In this powerful Ward Radio episode, we tackle a hard truth: as Latter-day Saints, we are not ready for the last days.

We went full investigative mode on Nick Shirley after his appearance on the PBD Podcast… and what we found is disturbing...From his suspicious childhood habits of sweeping driveways and planting trees, to his dangerous teenage behavior of telling people they have infinite worth, to his mission “service” in soup kitchens… the signs were all there. This is the cult of Nick Shirley — and we have the...

We sat down with Latter-day Logic (the TikTok apologist crushing it in the live debate space) and he dropped pure logic bombs on why the restored gospel is the most rationally defensible theology on earth… and why the Book of Mormon is literally undebunkable. What happens when a sharp Latter-day Saint builds a 120-page Google Doc of answers and takes on atheists and mainstream Christians in civil...
