Entertaining and engaging!

Just like the “Mormon” religion itself this podcast is excellently entertaining. Coming from the land of Zion and brought up in “the faith” I have so many aha moments. I left the church years ago and still have family that engages in the nonsense.
Thanks for the time taken~ you’re both so fun to listen to and I ordered your new book today so that I can share the info with my family that have not yet broke the cultish chains of this silly group.

The history we’ve all been waiting for

If you were ever the kind of Mormon that was waiting for that great family home evening in heaven where God would give the logical explanation for all the things in the official church narrative that didn’t quite add up - this podcast is for you. Loved the first few episodes so much that I immediately ordered the book. Great hosts, great stories whether or not you were ever Mormon. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you !!!

Raised in Mesa AZ. Valley of the cult, as I refer to it. This whole city is marinated in Mormonism culture, founded and ran to this day. You can Hike to the top of a mountain which there are many, get a birds eye view of the city, scan the horizon and it’s LDS steeples as far as the eye can see. All topped with chalk white tipped spires. Possibly 100s!!! Not even kidding. Every high school has an LDS supposedly “off campus”mini church that LDS identifying students can go to during the school day. I find these things like most of what I research about Mormonism all very strange. I want to shower you both with gratitude for trying to make sense out of any of this. I appreciate all the hard work and research you put into this podcast. Because of my location, familiarity with LDS literature and my relationship with the “Lords supper”😉I feel all this is ridiculously obvious. I wish I could share with everyone. This religion or whatever you wanna call it has affected my life deeply in many different ways that it’s difficult to describe. You’re nailing it to church door! Thank you again and please keep it up. Moth Doula you rock 🤘🏼🍄
