The Mormon History Hoedown

You're tired of the bombardment of info. "Just give me the fast facts, chief!" The brilliant Mormon historian Benjamin Park joins me to discuss his new book "American Zion" which details all the facts, context, and characters to provide a brief but in-depth look at the history of Mormonism in America.You don't know Mormonism until you explore the development and evolution of Mormon traditions over its 200 years and how internal and external conflicts have influenced it. In this episode we get into the religious fervor and experimentation of Joseph Smith's time, the dark legacy of racism, divisions, and culture war over issues like gender equality, LGBTQ rights, and religious liberty, including pivotal moments in Mormon history, such as the introduction and eventual abandonment of polygamy, the struggles for women's rights and racial equality within the church, and the impact of the church's alignment with the Republican party and conservative politics.👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!

ARE YOU READY TO LAUGH?!? Not a description you'd think would represent a video on war, but that's how laughable Jabra Ghneim's "response" to my Israel/Palestine series is. Bringing back Lindsay from Socialistlyakward with more facts and lulz. We made our 3 part Israel/Palestine series, and the Christian Zionists of Mormon Book Reviews responded to some strawman atheist Hamas supporting girl named Laura? So let's laugh, talk about the facts, and debunk tropes!Send Lindsay some love on Venmo @socialistlyawkward1443Check out her links to follow her in all the places: https://linktr.ee/Socialistlyawkward👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!

Today I'm joined by Shelise with Cults to Consciousness as we dive into the shocking details of the lies, hush money, and SA within the Mormon church that have recently come to light. We discuss the mishandled SA cases within the LDS church and the troubling instances in which the leaders failed to protect victims, fostering silence and cover-ups, and failing to report SA to authorities. Does the church prioritize its reputation over its own members?Links to articles and videos mentions: Daily Mail article: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12732055/mormon-church-leaders-accused-sexual-abuse-incest-cover-up.htmlAP article: https://apnews.com/article/mormon-church-investigation-child-sex-abuse-9c301f750725c0f06344f948690caf16Mormon Stories episode with Jared and Ashley: https://www.mormonstories.org/portfolio-items/mormon-sa-jared-ashley-jones/👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!

All you gluttons for deconstruction, get on in here. I'm delighted to have Steven Pynakker tell me about his nuanced Christian worldview as I push back with every question I feel is necessary. What a treat. We tackle about the questions around the necessity of Christianity, the bible, and religion as a whole. I think it has something for everyone. Believers, non-believers, and everyone who hated my appearance on Steven's program "Mormon Book Reviews". It gets a bit uncomfortable at times, I welcome all pushback, so let me know your thoughts in the comments!Check out my episode on Steven's channel: https://youtu.be/OpBuCnMCwW4?feature=shared👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 👇 I live and die on donor support!
