    Ep86: The Mormon Newscast: Mormonish Edition 08,18.2025

    This week’s Mormon Newscast is packed with stories you won’t want to miss. Our top story: an LDS mission leader in Mexico is recovering after being shot during a home invasion, and the details of what happened inside that house. We’ll also cover a “magic mushroom church” making headlines, pushing the limits of religious freedom and raising questions. Speaking of changes, the Church is once again tweaking its terminology—but what’s behind these word swaps, and do they reveal deeper shifts in doctrine and culture? On social media, an LDS influencer is stirring buzz about shortened missions, could the Church really be cutting time off missionary service, or is this just online speculation? Meanwhile, the Salt Lake Tribune is calling out LDS tax evasion claims, pulling a story we’ve been tracking into the mainstream spotlight for some time. And in stories that matter for the future of Mormonism: we’ll look at LGBTQ ex-Mormons speaking out more openly than ever, and the growing criticism of BYU’s big-money NIL deals that seem to clash with the values the school claims to uphold. 👉 Tune in live for the full breakdown, the context you won’t hear anywhere else, and the analysis that connects the dots.
