    1888: Deconstructing Mormonism in a Mixed-Faith Marriage: Summur-Rayn Berrett Pt. 2

    1888: Deconstructing Mormonism in a Mixed-Faith Marriage: Summur-Rayn Berrett Pt. 2

    Just when you thought Summur's faith transition couldn't get any more intense, buckle up for a mind-blowing ride in part 2. From uncovering disturbing details in the Gospel Topics Essays that left her questioning everything she knew, to grappling with the church's dishonesty about its history and finances, to watching her oldest daughter develop scrupulosity, Summur holds nothing back. Her brutally honest account of deconstructing her lifelong beliefs is equal parts heartbreaking and empowering. You'll be on the edge of your seat as she navigates the challenges of a mixed-faith marriage, learning how to have open and loving discussions despite diverging worldviews. Summur's raw vulnerability and unrelenting search for truth and meaning will leave you reflecting on your own spiritual journey long after the interview ends.

    1887: Returning to Mormonism after Falling Away - Summur-Rayn Berrett Pt. 1

    1887: Returning to Mormonism after Falling Away - Summur-Rayn Berrett Pt. 1

    What happens when a multiracial woman raised in a loving family that valued advocacy, positivity, and education joins the Mormon church? Summur's fascinating journey takes you from her NFL player father desegregating a team, to her mother fiercely protecting her from bullies and racism. Despite nurturing experiences at home, Summur faced harsh judgments and segregationist attitudes at church - a stark contrast that began shaping her doubts. Her path winds through BYU, an African American Studies class that unveiled new perspectives, and a traumatic racist cop incident, before working as a flight attendant and meeting her husband.
    With a unique multicultural lens, Summur shares the powerful family influences, eye-opening experiences, and pivotal moments like a young girl's innocent "Look mommy, a Lamanite" comment that led her to fundamentally question certain Mormon teachings and toxic cultures like purity culture. Prepare for an insightful, thought-provoking journey through the eyes of a Black Mormon woman.

    1885: Book of Mormon Evidence? Saudi Gold Plates are Forgeries w/ Bible Scholar Dan McClellan

    1885: Book of Mormon Evidence? Saudi Gold Plates are Forgeries w/ Bible Scholar Dan McClellan

    Last week Book of Mormon apologists declared victory when it was revealed on an evangelical Christian podcast that ancient gold plates were allegedly discovered in Saudi Arabia - in their minds, validating the Joseph Smith/Gold Plates/Book of Mormon/Nephites narrative. Today Bible scholar Dan McClellan returns to Mormon stories to show us the evidence as to why the Saudi Gold Plates are a forgery.

The stories

The stories is where this show works the best. I do also like the news from the church, and when bishops talk. Now sitting in church knowing all the back stories is starting to become more and more difficult!

Needs to clarify purposes

They need to clarify that this is an anti Mormon podcast. If you want to spend your time tearing other people down, that's your choice. But you should be clear in the description and episodes that that is your goal and purpose. Otherwise I feel like you are actively trying to deceive.
