On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Jackie Matthews to discuss orthodoxy in the LDS church.

Using the best seller, "Unorthodox: The Scandalous Rejection of my Hasidic Roots" by Debora Feldman, as our guide, we discuss hasidic Judaism with all of its rituals and practices and delve into the question of what makes a religion extreme?

Are there variations within a faith from orthodox to moderate to reformed?Does this scale exist in Mormonism? This was a fascinating discussion of the history of the Jewish people and those that choose to practice their orthodox beliefs in a modern world. The parallels to Mormonism can't go unnoticed.

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon dive into the LDS Gospel Library to take a look at church history stories especially for kids. The stories are faith promoting in what they do share but it's what they don't talk about that is the most revealing.

We also cover the new introduction to The Book of Mormon, another example of leaving the rest of the story out. In addition to touching on a recent Christmas devotional address by Dallin Oaks as an example of the same technique.

Thanks to our good friend, Ron Yorgason (Master Peace) for making us all aware of these stories.

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by the wonderful Rob Lauer as we delve into the world of Broadway and the influence of Mormonism on theater as a whole.

Many don't realize that an early Broadway play about polygamy was not only very successful, but changed the theater world forever.

We love talking with Rob about this topic and we're sure you'll find the discussion fascinating as well! Break a leg!
