On this episode we are going to get back into the 125 Uncanonized Revelations that are found in the RSV Scriptures as Jeff Alldredge and I have a conversation about John Taylor #3. To start off our conversation Jeff and I talk for a few about an exciting new project, him and his family have startedto try and help folks become self-sufficient. From there we move into talking about the revelation. During the course of our conversation we cover topics such as, Joseph Smith’s role in the Restoration, God’s concern for the rights of man, what it means to be chosen rather than just called, learning to surrender to our will to God, and much more. If you want to know more about Jeff’s new project, he speaks about in this episode you can reach him by emailing him at the address in these episode’s show notes.

WARNING NOT FOR CHILDREN!!! On this episode me and Justin Francom sit down to talk about a very heavy subject, Ending Abuse in Mormonism. We start this conversation by talking about abuse happening in the world outside of Mormonism to show that this is not unique to just Mormons. From there we talk about a little bit about how to distinguish between reputable claims of abuse versus maybe some claims that might be a little less reliable. From there we dive head long into talking about abuse in our own faith communities. We do this first by talking about a case study of such things from a book that gives accounts of this and focusing on one story in particular and seeing someof the red flags that crop up as a type of warning light and talking about why our times are different from the 1800’s. From there Justin lines out six practices that if found could be leaving the door open to abuse in our various faith communities and address each point and give alternatives that might help all of our families and communities avoid abuse and become a bit healthier and more vibrant.

On this episode we are going to kick off a new series inwhich I have different guests on to cover the unpublished revelations. Now if you want these revelations you can pick up a copy of the restored version of the scriptures that Drew Briney put forward last year, because they have a lotof them in there. On this episode Ben Shaffer and I sit down and talk about a few of those revelations in an overview to kind of set the table for what is to come. We spend some time talking about the 1886 revelation, and three more fromJohn Taylor & Wilford Woodruff. Now this series won’t be released back-to-back as there are a lot of them and there are other topics that need to be covered. So, this series will take us a while to get through. But if you are a person who has always sought after more revelation than this series and certainly this episode is going to be right up your alley.

For those who listen to the podcast regularly it comes as nosurprises that I am sometimes embarrassingly patriotic and passionate about America’s founding principles. With that said it naturally follows that I am pretty interested in how our young men are treated inside the United States Armed Services, and that is where this week’s guest Chase Spears comes in.

Dr. Chase Spears is a combat veteran who served as a U.S.Army public affairs officer for 20 years, retiring from Fort Leavenworth on October 1, 2023. During the course of our conversation, we talk about his time in the United States Armed Service and how over time he consistently saw how our service members rights were frustrated by far-left ideologies that have crept in to our Armed Forces which ultimately led to him turning down a promotion to Lieutenant Colonel and chose to depart military service as a Major believing that he could serve the nation’s defense more effectively in a civilian capacity.

Chase is the recipient of awards from the Command and General Staff College, Georgetown University, the International Public Relations Research Association, the interdisciplinary national honor society Phi Kappa Phi, and the International Association of Business Communicators (Kansas City chapter).

Chase is passionate about holding the militaryaccountable to its Constitutional purpose. He is widely published on civil-military and political topics in publications that include The American Mind, Real Clear Defense, The Washington Post, and The Baltimore Sun. He has alsoauthored chapters about communication professionalism in two books. Chase is often sought out for expert perspective by media organizations including News Nation, The Gateway Pundit, and American Family News.

Chase is also the host of Finding Your Spine Podcast which challenges the status quo. The podcast explores how Christians—and even secular conservatives—can stand firm in their values amid the pressures of cancel culture. Withinsightful commentary and bold conversations, Dr. Spears examines the tradeoff many make between conscience and comfort, reminding listeners that true freedom requires the spine to defend it. Tune in each week for thought-provokingdiscussions that inspire moral courage in an age of compromise.

Today on the podcast is the second and final episode on the three books of Enoch. Now last week we really set the table by talking a lot about the history of the books and how they made their way into modernity before diving into FirstEnoch. On this Episode we wrap up First Enoch and then dive into Enoch’ Two and Three. Now if you are like me one of the coolest things to discover is things that are uniquely Mormon in ancient texts. Well today on the show you get a bigdose of that, especially if you are familiar with the Ordinances of the Temple. We also end up finding traces of principles such as, the Pre-Existence, The Degrees of Glory after resurrection, what Enoch saw in our day, and much more. Hang out for a fascinating conversation this week.

WARNING! BECAUSE OF SOME THINGS THAT ENOCH SEES IN OUR DAY CONCERNING CERTAIN LIFSTYLES THIS MAY NOT BE SUITABLE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN!!

There are some figures in the scriptures that are mentioned that we don't know a lot about. One of those figures is the prophet, Enoch. We know some things but historically not a ton. When Joseph Smith received the Book of Moses there was more light shed on this ancient prophet, and then with the discovery of some texts of the book as well as the Dead Sea Scrolls, we received a lot more. Now if I have to go wade through the Apocrypha to find information on Enoch thereis really only one guy to talk to, and that is Ken Peterson. Ken has been on the show quite a few times so we are all familiar with who he is. I mean he literally wrote the book Mormonism in the Apocrypha. This will be part one of a two part series. In this episode we first dive into the history of the threebooks of Enoch. We find out how they were discovered, who discovered them, tradition surrounding the books, then plunge head long into Enoch one and make it almost all the way through as we discover some fascinating doctrine thatseems to support Joseph Smith’s teachings in the Restoration as well as some things that seem to point to that Enoch saw our day. From there we wrap up this first episode but next week you will want to tune in for part two of thisconversation where we dive even deeper into books two and three of Enoch and find some really mind-blowing stuff for Mormons.

On this episode Michael Ness joins me again, only this time we are going to do something a little bit different. Michael and I have always said “it is too bad that folks don’t get to listen to some of the stuff we talk about when the microphone is recording”. So with that thought in mind we decided to have one of those types of conversations but this time just hit the record button and let it go. The result is that we have a discussion about a lot of things that are plaguing our society and culture. We cover everything from the potential for nuclear war, to population collapse, the retconning of history, the breakdown of the family and some of the incorrect historical assumptions around that topic, our poisoned food supply, the effects of social media, how younger generations were given unrealistic tax burdens placed on them by the baby boomers outside of Mormonism, the dangers of social media and much more.

One of the things that is affecting our society today is addiction and statistics say if there is not someone in your family that struggles with addiction then you know someone who is. It drives many of today's social ills such as Divorce, Crime, Neglect, Parent and Child Conflict, Poverty, and even Modern-Day Slavery. On this episode I have Zack Nielson on the podcast. I had Zack on the podcast just a few weeks back. One of things that Zack is passionate about is helping others overcome and heal from addiction and he does this by volunteering at a local support group. During the course of our conversation Zack and I cover how he came to be associated with the program helping folks overcome addiction, the physiology of addiction, what type of triggers exist that causes relapses and addictive behavior, the difference between guilt and shame, how the program that Zack volunteers at works, the principles that have proven to help people overcome addiction, and how the Savior and His Atonement works in helping folks overcome their pain and addiction.
