Demons on the Mission!

Are Young Single Adult Wards helping people get married… or just teaching them how to stay single?In this episode we go after a question a lot of people are whispering:Should the Church dissolve YSA wards?We talk about:- Why early-2000s Mormon culture felt warmer — and why that energy is gone- Why so many YSA sacrament meetings feel cold, cliquey, and transactional- The “guys on one side, girls on the other” synagogue vibe- Elders Quorum getting shoved into kitchens, stages, and overflow closets- Utah dating TikToks and the collapse of asking people out- Ego, vanity, and “baddie culture” vs. actual friendliness- Why putting singles only with other singles can trap people in Peter Pan mode- A better model: keep records in family wards, keep singles *activities*, change the Sunday structure- The wild (half-serious) proposal for a stake-wide Sunday night YSA gathering with dinner- Why men checking out of dating is not just a “red pill” talking pointThis one is messy, funny, and uncomfortable on purpose. The point isn’t to dunk on anyone. The point is that if the current system isn’t producing friendship, discipleship, or marriages, it should be on the table.#YSA #LatterDaySaints #Dating #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – “I think we should dissolve YSA wards” 1:30 – Early 2000s Mormon culture vs. now 4:00 – Why YSA wards feel cold and unfriendly 6:00 – Separate seating and Elders Quorum in closets 8:30 – Utah dating TikToks: nobody likes anybody 10:20 – Ego culture and the rise of the “baddie” 11:10 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 12:00 – “Something inside them dies” 13:40 – Guys checking out of asking girls out 17:20 – Circular delusion in friend groups 19:00 – It’s not wokeism — it’s ego 21:00 – Conference talks vs. the actual YSA experience 23:00 – This is not a red-pill “women shouldn’t vote” take 25:30 – Caste systems, young men, and historical blowback 28:00 – Human dignity over looks, money, and status 30:00 – Solution: put singles in family wards 32:00 – Trump bit: shutdown of YSA wards 33:50 – Keep singles activities, change Sunday worship 35:20 – Stake-wide Sunday night YSA meeting + dinner 38:50 – Men need to level up (gym, clothes, effort) 41:10 – Harley vs. Zara 43:00 – The one-year dating boycott idea 46:00 – “This is a bit… with some truth in it” 48:00 – Closing: come back together as equalsBecome a member of this channel to get early access to videos and members only content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinSupport the channel by purchasing equipment to help make content through our Amazon Wish List (please write a limerick in the "gist notes" and we will read it on the show!): https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareTo order Ward Radio Branded "merch", please visit: https://www.wardradio.com/category/all-products For this and more, please visit: WardRadio.comNow go do your ministering!

This one is raw.LDS Members Ugly Infighting Is Worse Than the Critics!Anonymous conservative LDS accounts — the Deseret Nation / “frogmo” corner of X — start calling LDS podcasters the “lowest form of latter-day life,” dunking on a year-old joke video, and treating humor like apostasy.That’s not the gospel. That’s infighting.In this episode we talk about:- Captain M'honri, Old Fox, and the anonymous pile-on- What #DesNat used to be — and what it turned into- The horseshoe: progmos embarrassed by the Church on the left, Protestant- LARPing zealots on the right- Why putting your real name on a take (even a bad one) is more Christian than hiding behind an avatar- Why this looks *terrible* to people outside the Church- Alma 4: contentions *among* the people of the Church becoming a stumbling block to everyone else- Peacemaking without becoming a doormat- An invitation to audit your own social media: light of the world, not saltiest of the earthChrist’s pattern was “neither do I condemn thee… go and sin no more.” A lot of what passed for “defending the Church” this week was just pride with a scripture overlay.If you’re tired of watching Saints devour Saints while the world watches, this is the episode.#LatterDaySaints #WardRadio #DesNatChapter Markers0:00 – Intro 1:10 – Minivan through the meetinghouse doors 2:20 – Anonymous comments hit Ward Radio 3:00 – “Lowest form of latter-day life” 3:50 – Captain M'honri and the Temple Square superhero post 5:20 – What #DesNat used to be 7:00 – Horseshoe effect: progmos and frogmos 9:50 – Anonymous accounts vs. people who put their name on it 10:40 – Why Jim Bennett gets more respect than cowards online 12:50 – Lions not sheep… and lemmings 14:35 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 15:30 – Is this a LARP account? 17:20 – Shame instead of correction 20:00 – How should Saints actually handle online conflict? 25:00 – Calling out behavior without becoming the mob 28:00 – Self-defense analogy vs. “our words are violence” 32:00 – Separate the person from the behavior 33:20 – Alma 4: contention *inside* the Church 35:00 – Pride as a stumbling block to outsiders 37:00 – Call to repentance is not the same as condemnation 39:00 – Counter-punch only… and still checking ourselves 41:00 – Wholesome cringe is not the enemy 43:00 – If you’re attacking Brad Whitbeck and Jasmine Rappleye, you’ve lost the plot 45:00 – Consider the source 46:00 – The “unholy trinity of cringe” guy is also a nerd 48:00 – Invitation: audit your own social media 50:00 – Be the light, not the saltiest Saint online 52:00 – Anonymous isn’t automatically evil — cruelty is Become a member of this channel to get early access to videos and members only content:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinSupport the channel by purchasing equipment to help make content through our Amazon Wish List (please write a limerick in the "gist notes" and we will read it on the show!): https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareTo order Ward Radio Branded "merch", please visit: https://www.wardradio.com/category/all-products For this and more, please visit: WardRadio.comNow go do your ministering!

Someone is finally making a full-cast, immersive audio experience of the Book of Mormon — without changing a single word of the text.In this episode we sit down with KJ from 1830 Studios to hear the first proof-of-concept chapters of 1 Nephi.He walks us through:Why most Book of Mormon audio / dramatization projects get started and then dieHow he’s building an immersive soundscape + original soundtrack around the actual scripture textThe production challenges (time, money, and scale)Plans to do the entire Book of Mormon + the narrative books of the Bible in the same “audio universe”And of course… we dream-cast the voice actors (yes, Trump as King Noah made the cut)The current chapters are free. The goal is to keep the whole library free.

A new wave of anti-Mormon content is recycling old claims that Joseph Smith was deeply involved with demons and occult rituals.In this episode we break down a recent video from the Catholic channel *Jesus and Whatnot* that argues Joseph Smith had more demonic encounters than any other religious figure. We examine:- The unreliable 1833 Hurlbut affidavits (black sheep sacrifice, toad spirit, etc.)- Why high demon interaction does **not** equal demonic inspiration (Jesus had far more)- How the same logic would disqualify biblical prophets- The accounts of Joseph Smith actually casting out demons that get conveniently left outThis is a clear example of how weak sources get recycled into confident-sounding attacks. We take the claims apart piece by piece.#JosephSmith #AntiMormon #Debunked #LatterDaySaints #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Intro: A new anti-Mormon trope is being born 1:30 – The Ethan Muse debate connection 3:00 – Optics in debates & looking “possessed” 5:00 – Double standards with other religious founders 8:00 – “Joseph Smith has the most encounters with demons” 9:10 – Replace “Joseph Smith” with “Jesus” and watch it fall apart 11:00 – The black sheep “demonic ritual” claim (Hurlbut affidavit) 14:00 – Why the sheep story is historically weak 16:00 – Doctor Philastus Hurlbut: the Mark Hofmann of his day 18:20 – Sponsor: Go and Do Travel 19:00 – The “toad spirit” / frog magic story 21:30 – Biblical prophets also had intense spiritual confrontations 23:00 – Job, Jacob wrestling the angel, and Saul on the road to Damascus 26:30 – The Harvey Whitlock “possession” during ordination 28:00 – Jesus’ disciples also failed to cast out demons 30:00 – Joseph Smith successfully casting out demons (the part they leave out) 32:00 – Newel Knight’s firsthand account of being healed 34:00 – “I’m just asking questions” energy 35:30 – Final thoughts: Gossip vs. real historyJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Most people treat “contradictions” in scripture as a problem. What if they’re actually one of the strongest evidences that the Book of Mormon is real?In this episode we dig into:- Why Nephi and Jacob clearly disagree about the Lamanites- Why treating the Book of Mormon like a single, univocal voice is a mistake- How real people (and real prophets) have different perspectives- The difference between Greek “linear logic” and Hebrew “block logic”- Why perfect agreement would actually make the text look fake- Why Scripture Contradictions Are a Feature, Not a BugIf the authors of the Book of Mormon never disagreed, that would be suspicious.The tension is the point.#BookOfMormon #LatterDaySaints #Apologetics #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Intro: Are contradictions actually evidence? 1:50 – The skin color / Lamanite discussion that started it 2:45 – Nephi’s prejudice vs. Jacob’s defense of the Lamanites 3:30 – “The Book of Mormon doesn’t say anything” — authors do 4:30 – Real people have different opinions 5:40 – Why total univocality would make scripture look fake 7:00 – Disagreement is what makes real texts (and real podcasts) interesting 9:00 – Sponsor: Tiny3D Temples 9:50 – Stop inventing Hebrew words to erase tension 11:40 – Andrew Cavin and the James vs. Paul disagreement 13:00 – Hebrew “block logic” vs. Greek linear logic 15:00 – Prince of Peace vs. “I came to bring a sword” 18:00 – Mystery vs. solving every problem 21:00 – Nephi and Jacob as the best example of authentic tension 22:20 – Closing thoughtsJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Ministering is broken… and it’s one of the biggest reasons people feel alone at church.In this episode we sit down with Steve Webber — the man who literally wrote the book on ministering — to talk about:Why home teaching / ministering has collapsed since COVID.The powerful principle President Benson taught about it being the most important calling.The simple question that completely changed his ward (“What can I pray for you?”).How proper ministering skyrocketed sacrament attendance and activity.Real stories of how consistent ministering changes lives.If you’re a bishop, Relief Society president, ministering brother/sister, or just someone who cares about your ward… this episode is for you.Book mentioned: Home Ministering: The Process of Perfecting the Saints by Steve Weber (available on Amazon)#Ministering #HomeTeaching #LatterDaySaints #LDS #WardRadioChapter Markers0:00 – Why we’re talking about ministering1:00 – Introducing Steve Weber (the man who wrote the book)4:00 – How his book almost influenced the Church’s change to “ministering”8:00 – Why ministering feels optional now9:30 – President Benson: “The most important calling in the Church”11:00 – Kwaku’s cynical take on programs disappearing13:00 – Does lack of ministering cause inactivity?16:00 – The spiritual purpose of ministering (becoming like Christ)18:45 – The one question that fixed his ward: “What can I pray for?”21:30 – How praying for people changes your heart28:00 – The results: attendance jumped from 65% to 85%30:00 – Bishops need to stop doing everything themselves32:00 – “A call in the hall is no call at all”36:00 – The actual President Benson quote38:00 – How Deseret Book rejected his book… until Elder Holland spoke39:20 – Real ministering stories that changed people42:00 – The challenge: Ask “What can I pray for you?”45:00 – Free shirt challenge for great (and bad) ministering brothers47:00 – Where to get Steve Weber’s bookJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .
