On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by author Mark Lines to delve into the mysterious Book of Enoch and its influences on the emerging theology of Joseph Smith.

Mark's book, "Joseph Smith and the Book of Enoch:The Influence on Mormon Theology" explores Enoch as one of the sources of Joseph Smith's literary works.

Joseph's "translation projects" the Book of Mormon, Book of Moses, the Inspired Bible and Book of Moses include prophecies, visions and allusions to the ancient biblical prophet Enoch.

Did this renewed interest in Enoch in the religious and scholarly world during that time period directly influenced Joseph Smith's writings? Or do the similarities between Joseph's writings and the Book of Enoch point to a more divine origin?

As investigators learn more and more about church history, they also become aware of some of the more troubling aspects to Joseph Smith's legacy, But never fear, faithful LDS are ready with all the answers to assure anyone that there is no "Joseph Smith problem." I think you'll find the answers fascinating!

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast we are joined again by a favorite recurring guest, Kendel Christensen, as we explore the concept that caring less, or not giving a f*ck, actually makes you a happier person and makes life more meaningful.

The bestselling book, "The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck: A Counterintuitive Approach to Living a Good Life" by Mark Manson provides a roadmap for exactly what it looks like when you just stop giving a f*ck and see what happens.

Discussed through the lens of post Mormonism, this strategy can become a powerful tool to learn exactly what is most important to you, what you truly value, and what you actually do give a f*ck about.

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Master Peace and the Backyard Professor as we discuss the LDS Church's Gospel Topic Essay, "Peace and Violence among 19th-Century Latter-day Saints"

The relationship between Mormons and "Gentiles" was complex and sometimes deadly. All we know for sure is that there's more to the story than we were taught in Primary when it comes to these loaded narratives and the actual history.

Master Peace and BYP bring their expertise and knowledge of these historical nuances of peace and violence among the Saints in what I know you'll find to be a fascinating discussion.

This episode originally aired on The Backyard Professor on Decemberl 17, 2023.

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by Australian barrister Neville Rochow as we explore a new anti discrimination bill in Queensland Australia that the LDS believes could negatively impact their ability to control who can and can’t enter the Brisbane temple.

But is this really the case? The LDS church is rallying members to send emails and reach out to elected officials expressing concern. The bill could also impact the LDS church’s power to insist that church employees have temple recommends.

Neville helps us cut through the misinformation surrounding the proposed bill as we discuss the possible ramifications and realities.

On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by attorney Kolby Reddish to discuss the possibility of the proposed Fairview TX LDS temple becoming a test case for RLUIPA in the higher courts.

Drawing on an excellent blog post by Lisa Torcasso Downing, creator of the “Life Outside the Book of Mormon Belt” blog, we explore Dallin H. Oaks’ involvement in the precursor to RLUIPA and RLUIPA itself.

The LDS church has a history of pushing test cases to a higher court, and we consider this as a big picture possibility with the Fairview TX LDS Temple.
