The Mormon History Hoedown

Welcome to the video that Mormons wish was just clickbait. We're embarking on a thought-provoking analysis, featuring an exclusive interview with Ryan Fisher, @NephiteExplorer. It's an honor to have Ryan join us again to provide deeper insights into the complex narrative of Tim Ballard. We are connecting dots and making enemies with doomsdayers and 100 billion dollar corporations. Shocking blessings from Mormon leaders that absolve Tim of guilt is just the start. This is NOT a drill. This is the REAL DEAL. Do these key pieces of intel from Ryan's decade-long friendship with Tim Ballard combined with the new amendments in the lawsuit and passages from Vision of Glory explain everything? Everyone's pencils down and eyes forward for the most fascinating deep dive into the mind and making of Tim Ballard.

In today's vid, we're diving deep into some real talk with the amazing Faith Erickson! How does Faith describe the difference between dangerous and righteous desire? Let's discuss.

Welcome to this soon-to-be legendary episode of The Mormon History Hoedown in which I interview Kwaku El, known for his staunch defense of Mormonism on Ward Radio, Saints Unscripted, and Jubilee’s Mormons vs. Exmormons! In the ring with Kwaku today, we kick it off with his conversion, liberal background, and perspectives as an apologist in the Mormon space. How did he make that shift, what's his deal and what's with all these a**holes? Moving on, we've got some drama brewing: Ad hominem attacks, DezNat showdowns, and all the tea on what Joseph Smith was really all about. Jumping ahead, let's get down to basics: What even is Mormonism, and how does Kwaku see it compared to the mainstream? Then, we're diving into the nitty-gritty: Kwaku’s version of Mormonism versus the beliefs of the masses. We've got some spicy topics to stir up: Is masturbation a sin, and are Mormons getting it on before marriage? What is "true," and does it even matter? The Book of Mormon – is it historical, or just a good story? We're breaking it down. Plus, we've got some tight vs. loose translation debates and a chat about anachronisms. Stick around as I engage in a spirited debate with Kwaku, the go-to guy for defending Joseph Smith and nuancing the modern LDS church.👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support! So, great news!

In this episode, I interview the wise and delightful Suzy Baker, co-founder of The Psychedelic Assembly. We explore her life in Mormonism in Alabama, Utah and New York City, as well as the dark side of dating her zone leader on her mission and the events that led her out of the church. Cozy up with Carah with Suzy for this special reveal of Suzy's mission experience. Serving the Lord? And serving the lust. And shame. A place where hopes, consent, and a whole lot of trauma collide. We discuss the pressure to boost baptism numbers, and the surprising events that led to her zone leader asking Suzy to pray to fall in love with him.We hope this story celebrates the power of humanity and community while dishing out some sage advice on spotting red flags, including what Suzy wishes she could tell her younger self.Suzy's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/suzycbaker/Below is a great article from an active support network called Psychedelic Support and they talk about what to look out for when choosing someone to work with in a healing context: https://psychedelic.support/resources/dark-side-plant-medicine/The Women's Visionary Council is an amazing organization that my dear friend Annie King founded.
