The information presented is interesting, but what I enjoy the most is the respectful way it’s presented

I’ve listened to most the episodes and they claim to be experts in the field and consult with experts but then they attack the weakest point of the argument and claim victory? It’s just messed up. AND to make it worse they cover it up as “INFORMED CONSENT”!? Please. Talk about mixing half truths with lies. Please yall, do your own research, don’t let these fools take anymore of your time.

As a never mo, I feel like I should get a PhD in Mormonism for making it through all the episodes. Incredible research by Mike coupled with the methodical and compassionate John Dehlin, this is a master class in revealing how cults and religions gain power and control over smart, capable well meaning people. This series and Scientology and the Aftermath should be required viewing for anyone in a high control religion.

I appreciate how respectful and comprehensive the material is. Thank you so much.

This is one of the best, most comprehensive series on the truth claims of the LDS church. Would highly recommend!

I do feel liberated!!! Thank you for finally making sense of all my confusion around church things

I am a huge fan of history, and they provide a lot of historical context for their discussions.

They say from the start that they don’t use dubious sources, they don’t cherry pick and they include church verified sources as well as apologetic views. This is the kind of reputable podcast I’m obsessed with.

So far the show has been great when it comes to the history of the church. I am writing as a Christian. I do not believe in the book of Mormon or the idea that Joseph Smith was a prophet from God. I do find it ironic that these men speak on the Bible in a way that portrays that it is not factual. To consider DNA as a way to examine age is also a false portrayal of truth. You cannot look at DNA and say this example is 20,000 years old, but this example is 12,000 years old. These are still pre-suppositions to the idea that the dating factor is true. I wish that they would take out some of their presuppositions or rather examine themselves in an equal way. John said “this provided a problem to the orthodox view of the Bible”. Thats a bogus claim. Why cant the Bible provide a problem with the literal view that these specimens are 20,000 years old? It seems John has replaced Mormonism with “science” for his gullibility. Anyway, I do appreciate him and Mike providing these wonderful trues in the history of the church. I am trying not to bash, but I don't appreciate them trying to make Bible believers feel like suckers because they are suckers for “science falsely so called”. Science killed George Washington. If they would have just read “the life of the flesh is in the blood”, they may not have bled him out. Mike has a major issue relying on “scholars” that don’t even believe the Bible is God’s Word. You will find, anytime Mike mentions a passage that deals with a prophetic event that comes true, he jumps on the “scholarship” train. He doesn’t even mention scholars who are believers and take many of the Biblical passages literal. I thought I could get through this podcast for the history’s sake, but Mike is fallen for the trap of another garbage story that just simply replaces mormonism in his life.

Thanks for compiling these episodes and teaching many of the untold and hidden facts of LDS history. This information could’ve saved me much guilt, sadness, and confusion in my younger years. Informed consent for the win!
