Mary welcomes Bill McKeever, longtime student and expert on Mormonism to the podcast, to give the listener a refresher on all things Mormon. With today’s emphasis on Mormonism being just another branch of Christianity, this gives an opportunity to have a clearer understanding of what they believe. We might hear the details once or twice, but many of us haven’t had time or inclination to really understand it. But most of us have or will encounter Mormons or Mormonism in the course of our Christian walk and so whatever we can glean from someone who has studied it for decades will probably prove to be useful. We discuss the main teachings, starting with their doctrine about the nature of God and Jesus; salvation, atonement, the priesthood, eternity, and so much more. Bill’s extensive understanding of this movement gives us an opportunity to sharpen our discernment.

Is Joshua's Altar one of the most significant archaeological discoveries in modern history?

In this fascinating conversation, Aaron Lipkin returns with exciting updates on Joshua's Altar, the controversial lead curse tablet, and the mysterious "footprint" structures found throughout Israel. He explains how new archaeological evidence continues to challenge long-held assumptions about the Bible's historical reliability and discusses the latest developments surrounding ongoing research and preservation efforts in Israel.

Could a Convention of States accidentally rewrite the whole Constitution, or is the “runaway convention” fear overstated? We take a listener’s question head-on and walk through what Article V actually does, what states can do to limit delegates, and why the ratification threshold changes everything. We keep coming back to one practical reality: no matter what gets proposed, three-fourths of the states must agree, and that’s a high bar designed to reflect the will of the people, not a backroom deal. 

From there, we zoom out to something our culture badly needs: serious disagreement without scorched-earth tactics. We talk about why fear can’t be the driver, why the Founders built checks and balances for moments like this, and why open debate is healthy even when the people on both sides share the same goals. 

Then we shift to history with a name most Americans never hear. Peyton Randolph, the steady hand chosen to preside over the First Continental Congress, helped set the tone before independence was even on the table. His story connects to the first prayer in Congress and even to how Thomas Jefferson ends up in position to shape the Declaration of Independence. 

We close with a candid question from a youth pastor about abortion: abolition or pro-life? We lay out why we support ending abortion while also supporting any legislative step that preserves more life right now.
