Not So Peter Priesthood

Dusti and Jake welcome back special guest Kadey, from Not So Molly Mormon podcast, to rage over a BYU Devotional given by Kevin S Hamilton on January 24, 2023. He talks about covenants (fun drinking game: take a shot whenever he says the word "covenant." Actually don't; you might die), the need for a church and organized religion, and quotes the Book of Mormon A LOT. What is a TK Smoothie you ask? You'll have to listen to find out!

Jake and Dusti talk about a youth broadcast hosted by Gerrit Gong, Bonnie Cordon, and Steven Lund. This performative devotional was where they presented the 2023 youth theme: I Can Do All Things Through Christ. A Mormon analogy wouldn't be complete without some good ol' cultural appropriation as Elder Dong talks about spiritual trail markers. Enjoy!

This week, Dusti dusts off her Personal Progress book to share with Jake. If you, listener, were in Young Women's this episode might trigger you and you might find yourself reciting the theme along with Dusti. That's what brainwashing and conditioning will do to you!

Women with the priesthood? LGBTQ inclusivity? No forced baptisms? No weird temple ceremonies? Book of Mormon not viewed as the main scripture? Could it be that the Restored LDS church has more things right than the mainstream church? Jake tells Dusti all about the RLDS aka The Community of Christ Church and you'll be surprised how not half-bad it is.

Get ready because this week we are diving into the mission handbook that tells missionaries literally everything they can and cannot do on their missions. It's a guidebook they carry around in their pockets for the entire duration of their missions. Dusti and Jake welcome special guest Stephen (exmormon_rhetoric on Instagram) as they go through the handbook. Note: this is the 2002 edition of the handbook and not the updated 2019 version.

For our 69th episode (Niiiice), Jake welcomes special guest co-host Kadey from Not So Molly Mormon podcast. At the beginning of January, Jeffrey Holland and his wife Patricia spoke to youth of the church at a conference, and Jake reads highlights to Kadey of what was said. Don't worry, listeners, Dusti will be back!

Jake reads an article from Deseret News to Dusti. The article talks about how language is being corrupted to the point where gender is being confused and the role of a woman is muddied. As you can imagine, it's extremely problematic. TW: anti-transgender stuff that might be sensitive to some listeners.

Jake tells Dusti all about D. Gary Young and Young Living Essential Oils which is all the rage in Utah and among a lot of Mormons. This MLM has a very problematic past with a very controversial founder (sound familiar?). TW: infant death

Jake and Dusti welcome special guest Kadey (from Not So Molly Mormon podcast). This week they let you in on their book club where Jake and Dusti tell Kadey all about Black Widows by Cate Quinn: a murder mystery set in Utah where the victim is a polygamist and the prime suspects are his three wives. This one is a wild ride! TW: infant death, sexual abuse and assault

It's that time of year! Tithing settlement time! Oh wait, it's called tithing declaration now. So many PR spins with the church lately, it's hard to keep up. Jake and Dusti talk about tithing declaration, BYU, and how two lesbians saved the day on Jake's mission. Listen for free wherever you listen to podcasts (ten percent not required)!
