Lying For the Lord? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we dig into several stories making waves across the Latter-day Saint world. Our lead story returns to the LDS Church’s lawsuit against John Dehlin and Mormon Stories. A recent Church filing claims a Mormon Stories guest believed the podcast was “Church affiliated”—but when we go back to what the guest actually said, there appears to be an important difference between believing Mormon Stories was a faithful Mormon podcast and believing it was actually affiliated wi

Read excerpt
Tonight on Mormon Newscast, the LDS Church says its trademark lawsuit against John Dehlin and Mormon Stories isn't an attempt to silence a prominent critic—it's about preventing consumer confusion.

We’ll break down what these organizations are arguing, why they decided to enter the case, and what their i
"You Will Stay" - When Loyalty Matters More Than Abuse ! (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Can a church become so important that no amount of bad leadership, toxic culture, or personal harm should ever cause someone to leave? Recently, Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge made a striking statement: "Darth Vader could be your bishop. The culture could be like Alcatraz... If you see the Church as the kingdom of God on earth, then you will stay." At first glance, this sounds like a call for faith. But beneath the surface lies a powerful psychological framework—one that asks members to separate th
