On this episode I get to sit down and have a conversation with a young couple who has found and embraced the Fullness Of The Restored Gospel. Elior & Haley Walker join me today as we talk about their story. Starting in childhood we find out about their upbringing in the LDS Church, how they met and fell in love, how Elior & Haley found out about the inconsistencies in the LDS Church vs Early Mormon History, how they navigated those times together, how they were able to come through this time str...

Right around last Christmas I did an episode about Book of Mormon geography which took a close look at the Heartland Model. Today on the podcast I have Ken Peterson on as we take a deep dive into the Mesoamerican Model as a setting for the Book of Mormon. As always Ken comes prepared as we look at several factors in examining the Meso-American Model including anthropology, geography, geology, linguistics and natural disasters. No matter which model you subscribe to, you are for sure going to lea...

Every so often people come along in the Restored Gospel and end up leaving impressions that echo through decades and centuries later. It will not be surprising that in a hundred years from now if people still won't be referencing Ogden Kraut and his research and work. And also like so many who have left such an impact Ogden did not live long enough to see the full fruition of his work, that particular portion was left to his son Kevin Kraut, and it is he who I am having a conversation with today...

On this episode Drew Briney and I have a conversation about an ambitious new project that looks to bring forth a set of scriptures that is closer to the early days of the Restoration. Drew has called this version the Joseph Smith Version (JSV). During our conversation we talk about what this version will look like in terms of content and doctrine. We look at the process Drew used in making determinations about what to leave as we now have in the LDS version of the scriptures vs. what needed to b...

This is the final episode of the Temple Covenants Series. We have explored a lot in this but I didn't feel right without kind of giving a wrap up and conclusion to the series. Today I have Justin Francom back on the podcast to give some insights into the Temple Ordinances. Along the way in our conversation we cover a lot of ground. Justin first illuminates how many of the teachings of the Temple Theology can be find through different cultures and their beliefs, from there our discussion turns to...

Rumble Channel: https://rumble.com/user/MormonRenegade We are nearing the end of the Temple Covenants Series Isaac Musser joins me to have a conversation about the Marriage Covenant we take in the Temple or as Mormons refer to it The Sealing Covenants. Now as we begin to explore what this covenant really is what is brought forward is that we as people only scratch the surface of not only our blessings but perhaps more importantly for this life what our responsibilities regarding this covenant. ...

On this episode of the podcast we continue the Temple Series as we take look at the Law Of Consecration. David Nielsen joins me to as we examine this covenant. We cover what the covenant is, how the early leadership and membership of the Restored Gospel viewed and understood it, how it was practiced from the Kirtland to Utah periods, the success and failures of various communities who practiced and implemented the covenant, and finally what it should mean for us today as practitioners of the Res...

On this installment of the Temple Series we are going to be discussing perhaps one the most controversial and for sure the most misunderstood portion of the original Mormon Temple ceremony and that is the Oath of Vengeance. With portrayals of Mormonism such as Under The Banner of Heaven and American Primeval this part of the Temple Ceremony makes a lot of Mormons squeamish. The truth is however we don’t n...

Today on the podcast Taylor Smith joins me as we move on to Part 5 of the Temple Covenants Series. In this part we will be taking an in depth look at the Law Of Chastity.

Today Felipe and Merilynne Cervantes joins me on the podcast to talk about the Law of Obedience. Now I don’t think it is an accident that this is one of the first covenants we make in the Temple. In many ways it provides not only the base for which the rest of the covenants are built on it ...

Renegade Supply Store: https://renegade-supply-shop.printify.me/products There are some stories in scripture especially when you get back towards Genesis that seem so far removed that it can be hard for us to extract any meaning from it. However, God never gives us anything that he doesn’t want us to use. Today Michael Ness joins me again as we wrap up his series on Genesis. The main scriptural account w...

Renegade Supply Store: https://renegade-supply-shop.printify.me/products Mormon theology is full of amazing promises. Some of those promises have to do with new scripture coming forth in the last days. Now that is an exciting prospect. Like many of you I look forward to that time. However, when one says that new scripture that has come forth, we must be very careful. We must make sure that the purported ...

If you were to ask most people off the street what an Orthodox Mormon is they would give a description of what they have saw from mainstream media. The issue with that is the images presented by media really is of only one group. Because of the nature of that business, people often don’t get to see folks in this faith tradition as they really are which is a vibrant people from all walks of life with vario...

Renegade Supply Store: https://renegade-supply-shop.printify.me/products There are some things in Mormonism that are just plain fun to talk about, debate on and think about. One of those topics is Book of Mormon Geography ideas and theories. Meaning where did the events in the Book of Mormon take place.

Renegade Supply Store: https://renegade-supply-shop.printify.me/products One of the reasons I love Mormonism is the idea that God is no respecter of persons. What that means for us is that as God has dealt with His children in the past is how He will deal with us today. This allows us to foster a relationship with Him because we know what He expects of us. Now with that in mind let me ask this question, ...
