Joseph Smith once taught ordinances "are not to be altered or changed." But how do we reconcile that with the fact that over the years temple ordinances have changed? In this episode, I sit down with Church historian, Dr. Jonathan Stapley, to clarify that issue and many specific changes to the temple ceremony, like the removal of the oath of vengeance and the penalties.

He was a poorly-educated guy who was visited by an angel, produced a new work of scripture, and became the leader of a world religion. I'm not talking about Joseph Smith — I'm talking about Muhammad, the prophet of Islam. Many critics claim that Joseph Smith's truth claims really aren't that special, because Muhammad did something similar (and *nobody* in their right mind believes that Muhammad was inspired... right? ... right guys?). In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dan Peterson to investigate just how similar Joseph and Muhammad actually are.

Joining me today is Joshua Miller, a former patient of Jodi Hildebrandt and faithful Latter-day Saint, sharing his story of recovery from Jodi's "therapy" through the gospel of Jesus Christ. As you know, Hulu recently released "Devil in the Family: The Story of Ruby Franke," a documentary chronicling LDS vlogger Ruby Franke's interactions with the former mental health counselor, Jodi Hildebrandt, another Latter-day Saint, and how they both wound up in prison for child abuse. Critics claim that The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is responsible for "creating" people like Ruby and Jodi through it's doctrine. By dissecting his personal experiences with Jodi and responding to a few clips, Joshua and I will explore exactly what role (if any) the Church's doctrine played in his abuse, as well as the role it played in his recovery and redemption.
