Ward Radio is a Latter-day Saint podcast that tackles all aspects of Mormonism, from rebutting anti-Mormon arguments and debating various models of Book of Mormon geography to running deep dives on ancient apocryphal texts and fringe scientific theories. They also tackle cultural issues too, and in these two podcasts, they specifically look at the depopulation… Continue reading Two more fascinating pro-natalist podcast episodes

Up and Back from Denver
My uncle just got remarried, after losing his wife of some 40+ years to dimentia. The wedding was Saturday, so I flew up there in the early morning with my two sisters who live here in Utah. And then, because my four year-old daughter had her first primary program in church this Sunday, I flew… Continue reading Up and Back from Denver
Where Ezra’s Eagle Goes Off the Rails
So it’s November 6th, 2024, the day after election day. President Trump has won an astonishing election victory, marking the greatest political comeback in US history. For those of us who feel like we’ve been gaslit and abused for the last four years, it really does feel like things are starting to look up for… Continue reading Where Ezra’s Eagle Goes Off the Rails
WIP Excerpt: The Road to New Jerusalem, Chapter 1
[Author’s Note: This is an AI-assisted rough draft, so it’s still got a lot of issues that are going to be worked out before the final draft. The genre is post-apocalyptic / end-times fiction, and I plan to publish this novel under my pen name J.M. Wight.] The late spring air was dry and pleasant,… Continue reading WIP Excerpt: The Road to New Jerusalem, Chapter 1
What About Ezra’s Eagle?
Several years ago, I wrote a blog post about the Ezra’s Eagle prophecy, which has somehow become the #2 search result for that term on Google. As a result, I’ve been getting hundreds of views on that blog post every week—and whenever Glenn Beck or some other conservative media commentator discusses the apocryphal prophecy, I… Continue reading What About Ezra’s Eagle?
The best take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that I’ve heard
This is, by far, the best take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that I’ve heard. It’s between a Jew and a Palestinian, but both of them are converts to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, which means that they’re less interested in winning a debate and more interested in coming to a common understanding,… Continue reading The best take on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that I’ve heard
The Babylon Bee Guide to Every Christian Denomination
Saw this video a couple of days ago, thought it was hilarious—especially the parts about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints: “Mormons? Just kidding—we said Christian denominations!” And then later… “Unitarian Universalists? They’re atheists. We’ll even take the Mormons over these guys.” Although, to be fair… if Joseph Smith’s first vision was real,… Continue reading The Babylon Bee Guide to Every Christian Denomination
The Burden of America
The prophecies of Isaiah were written around 750 B.C. and pertained primarily to the major powers of his own day, but if you tweak them just a bit, they apply remarkably well to us. Believers will say that’s because his prophecies were laced with intentional double-meaning, but you don’t have to be a believer to… Continue reading The Burden of America
What’s really behind the “Mormon Church”‘s stance on the Respect for Marriage Act?
Earlier this year, the US Supreme Court overthrew Roe v. Wade in the Dobbs v. Jackson decision. This was a major legal and cultural earthquake. A big question that arose from this decision was how will this affect Obergefell v. Hodges, which codified same-sex marriage as legal back in 2015? Most of the conservative justices… Continue reading What’s really behind the “Mormon Church”‘s stance on the Respect for Marriage Act?
