  • Content so good the church excommunicated him over it.

    Great content, interesting perspectives and never shying away from controversy, but the LDS church apparently really doesn’t like it.

  • Excellent source of facts

    The host has a bright voice and take even of dark subjects. Never mincing words but always diplomatic when discussing controversy and the news. Providing sourced truth and bringing in educated guests.

  • Decapitation in BoM

    Fantastic episode! Would love to see John debate Tad Callister and all his “evidence“ that proves the BoM. And specifically focus on the literary history as related in the BoM. That would be very interesting.

  • Was good until it wasn’t

    Loved the podcast until you started talking about politics 🙄

    Nuanced member of the church here and don’t agree with your opinion on that aspect. Maybe leave your political opinions out of the conversation. You can’t speak for all of the nuanced Mormons. It’s very off putting.

  • Loses its own credibility

    Tried an episode. Brought up good points, which is great and helpful. Also brings up stereotypes of faithful people in the church, multiple times in one episode, that are completely wrong. Loses its credibility.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Ep359: Data Center Built Over Book of Mormon Witnesses' Graves and Zelph Bone?
Q: What kinds of groups do you think would be interested in this, that could maybe take it from here and say, hey, this is historical?
Hajicek says specialists in historic preservation and related fields could assess the site, and notes that preservationists, city planners, and others have begun reaching out to help.
Ep359: Data Center Built Over Book of Mormon Witnesses' Graves and Zelph Bone?
Q: Can you tell us some of the important things that you believe happened on this land?
Hajicek describes the property as a place where Mormon refugees lived, two Book of Mormon witnesses were buried somewhere in the area, enslaved people lived and died, and Zion's Camp ended. He also discusses the reported reburial of Zelph's bone on the plantation grounds.
Ep356: Mormonism's Top 40 Thought Stopping Phrases
Q: Why do the hosts consider “never take counsel from those who don't believe” harmful?
They say it can cut people off from questioning family members and dismiss what they say based only on their belief status, undermining family relationships and open evaluation of evidence.
Ep356: Mormonism's Top 40 Thought Stopping Phrases
Q: What does “stay in the boat” communicate to people who are questioning the Church?
Jim says the phrase does not establish that the Church is correct. Instead, it frames leaving as catastrophic and uses fear of the unknown to persuade people to stay.
Ep358: New Support Group for Post Mormon Parents of LDS Missionaries
Q: Do you get questions about real-world situations involving missionaries?
They discuss a parent worried about a missionary's account of a young woman whose cancer disappeared after a blessing. They recommend responding gently, asking about evidence, and raising concerns without immediately dismissing the missionary's experience.
