Latter-day Saints rank near the top when it comes to marrying within their faith — right behind Hindus and evangelicals. But why does this matter?In this episode, we look at recent data on same-faith marriages and then dive into a deeper discussion: Why has the restored gospel placed such a strong emphasis on marriage and family?We explore:How early Christianity developed a negative view of marriage and womenWhat Doctrine & Covenants 132 actually teaches about marriage in the resurrectionHow apocryphal texts (like the Gospel of Philip) support the sacred nature of marriageWhy Joseph Smith and Brigham Young restored a positive, exalted view of familyThe Restoration didn’t just bring back lost doctrines — it brought back the importance of marriage and family as central to God’s plan.#Marriage #LDS #FamilyProclamation #BookOfMormonChapter Markers / Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: Same-Faith Marriage Data & “Flirt to Convert”03:06 - Ryan Burge’s Data on Same-Faith Marriages (2023–2024)06:41 - Where Latter-day Saints Rank (81% Marry Other Latter-day Saints)09:54 - How Important Is Religion to You vs. Your Spouse?11:19 - How Often Do Couples Talk About Religion?14:29 - The Big Drop-Off: Why Some Groups Talk About Faith Less16:49 - Should We Bring Back Arranged Marriages?

In 1958, scholar Morton Smith discovered a letter in the Mar Saba monastery written by Clement of Alexandria. The letter claims that the Gospel of Mark originally contained secret teachings and temple rituals from Jesus that were later removed.This letter (often called the Mar Saba Letter or Secret Mark) suggests that Mark wrote a “more spiritual gospel” for those being perfected — one that included hierophantic (temple) teachings from the risen Christ during His 40-day ministry.In this episode, we explore:What the Mar Saba Letter actually saysWhy both secular scholars and many Christians rejected itHow it provides a framework for understanding other early Christian texts about the risen Lord’s ministryWhy this matters for understanding temple rituals and the post-resurrection appearances of JesusCould the Mar Saba Letter be the key that unlocks the “missing ministry” of the risen Christ?#MarSabaLetter #SecretMark #TempleRituals #BookOfMormonChapter Markers / Timestamps (Very Accurate)00:00 - Intro: Secrets of Mark & the Missing 40-Day Ministry02:41 - What Is the Mar Saba Letter?04:39 - Why Manuscripts Became Necessary After the Apostles07:25 - Morton Smith Discovers the Letter at Mar Saba Monastery (1940s & 1960)09:43 - The Academic World’s Hostile Reaction12:11 - What the Letter Actually Claims About the Gospel of Mark16:11 - “Hierophantic Teachings” — Secret Temple Rituals Removed from Mark21:26 - Why Both Scholars and Christians Rejected the Letter24:59 - Defense Against Forgery Claims (10 Things Morton Smith Would’ve Needed)29:39 - Could This Have Been Written by a Heretic?31:48 - The Letter Provides an “Alibi” for Other Apocryphal Texts35:56 - Joseph Smith Didn’t Just Restore Texts — He Restored the Rituals41:35 - Final Question: What Specifically Should We Like About Secret Mark?Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

“Fairy smut” (spicy fantasy romance novels like A Court of Thorns and Roses) has become extremely popular, including among some Relief Society sisters. But is it harmless fun, or is it shaping expectations in unhealthy ways?In this episode, we discuss:Why some women are drawn to these booksThe real-world impact spicy romance can have on relationships (from someone who investigated sexual assault cases for 15 years)A new tool called BookRata that rates books across multiple categories (sexuality, violence, language, worldview, wellness, etc.)How to make informed decisions about what you read without being overly prudish or overly permissiveBookRata works like VidAngel for books — it doesn’t censor content, but it gives you clear, transparent ratings so you can decide what’s appropriate for you or your family.What’s your take — is fairy smut harmless escapism, or is there reason for caution?#FairySmut #BookRata #LDS #ReliefSocietyChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: “My Spouse Reads Fairy Smut”02:08 - What Exactly Is “Fairy Smut”?04:51 - Why Some Women Are Reading It06:10 - A Former NCIS Agent’s Perspective on Spicy Romance09:02 - Introducing BookRata (Like VidAngel for Books)11:50 - How BookRata Rates Books (AI + Transparency)15:24 - Can You Filter by Age, Genre, or Content Level?17:13 - Romance vs. Smut — Where’s the Line?19:52 - Should Parents Use This for Their Kids?21:41 - Can This Tool Help Schools and Libraries?24:44 - Final Thoughts: Balance Between Prudishness and PerversionJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

The current chapter heading for Moroni chapter 2 says these events happened around AD 401–421. We think that’s incorrect.In this episode, we make the case that Moroni chapter 2 is not Moroni speaking in the 5th century. Instead, it is a direct record of Jesus Christ speaking to His twelve Nephite disciples during His post-resurrection ministry at Bountiful (around 33–34 AD).We explore:Why the chapter heading date is likely wrongHow this passage matches the style of early Christian texts about the risen Lord’s ministryWhy the sacrament prayers we use today come directly from the resurrected JesusWhat this means for how we understand Moroni’s additions at the end of the Book of MormonWhen you bless the sacrament on Sunday, you’re repeating words first spoken by the risen Savior to His disciples in the Americas.What do you think — should the chapter heading be updated?#BookOfMormon #Moroni2 #Sacrament #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: Another Chapter Heading Might Be Wrong02:01 - Previous Chapter Heading Corrections (Abraham 3 & Moses)03:03 - How Early Christian Texts Introduce the Risen Christ’s Words05:48 - Moroni Chapter 2 in the Original Manuscript07:34 - The Current Chapter Heading Says ~AD 40108:34 - Why This Should Be Dated to ~33–34 AD09:30 - This Is Jesus Speaking, Not Moroni11:03 - The Sacrament Prayers Come From the Risen Lord13:50 - Moroni Inserted This Because It Was Too Important to Leave Out15:53 - Should We Also Quote This When Ordaining Priests?18:18 - Final Thoughts on Updating the Chapter HeadingJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

What if the Three Nephites weren’t just ancient disciples… but beings from another world?In 1940, a Dutch man named Udo Wartena claimed he had a close encounter with visitors from another planet while living in rural Montana.According to his account, the beings:Looked like regular menTraveled in a large disc-shaped craftSaid they “mingle with your people” and “give help where needed”Refused to discuss Jesus Christ or religionIn this episode, we explore the strange parallels between Wartena’s story and the Three Nephites from the Book of Mormon — immortal beings who minister among people, gather information, and offer help without interfering with free agency.Could some UFO encounters actually be the Three Nephites (or similar beings) at work? We discuss the theory, the implications, and why this story feels oddly familiar to Latter-day Saints.What do you think — were these visitors aliens, or something else entirely?#ThreeNephites #UFO #BookOfMormon #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: UFOs, Aliens & A Wild Theory01:35 - Personal Family UFO Story (Project Blue Book)03:05 - The Udo Wartena 1940 Montana Encounter04:42 - He Gets Invited Onto the Craft05:33 - “We Mingle With Your People and Give Help Where Needed”06:08 - Connection to the Three Nephites07:22 - They Refused to Talk About Jesus Christ09:34 - Parallels With Jesus’ Instructions (“Tell No One”)11:50 - “Do You Hold the Priesthood?” (The Question They Left Out)14:45 - Why Haven’t We Found Alien Life?17:44 - The Fine-Tuning of the Universe as Evidence for God19:53 - Final Thoughts: Aliens or Ministering Beings?Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Lolol... This was funny. Meet Brian Holdsworth, who makes the most audacious of claims that his Creedal God can beat up our "Mormon God". ha ha ha!His original video can be seen here: https://youtu.be/bXZ0hslDTBE?si=uHizwBUbIXxZfOQW

Matt Fradd of The Daily Wire finally breaks his silence on the major backlash following multiple anti-Mormon episodes and articles that were released in a single week.In this response, Fradd explains:As a Catholic apologist, his mission is to defend and promote Catholicism — not to be a conservative political commentator — so he will continue critiquing other faiths, including Mormonism, but the volume and timing made it look like a coordinated attack.He clarifies that the Daily Wire is a large company where things sometimes “fall through the cracks,” and this was not a deliberate company-wide campaign against Mormons.The Ward Radio hosts react:They appreciate Fradd’s honesty and see it as a step toward reconciliation.They note that Fradd’s core arguments against Mormonism remain unchanged, but the presentation issue was the main problem.Discussion on whether this response is sufficient and what it means for the future relationship between The Daily Wire and the Latter-day Saint community.This is a significant moment in the ongoing conversation between Catholic apologists, The Daily Wire, and Latter-day Saints.#MattFradd #DailyWire #MormonControversy #LDS #CatholicApologeticsChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: Matt Fradd Finally Speaks on the Mormon Controversy01:00 - Matt Fradd on the Backlash from Angry Mormons02:15 - Why Multiple Episodes Were Released in One Day03:45 - Matt Fradd: “Daily Wire Was Wrong to Do That”05:10 - Matt Fradd as a Catholic Apologist (Not a Conservative Activist)06:50 - Hosts React: Is This a Real Apology?08:30 - The Importance of Presentation vs Intent10:45 - Daily Wire’s Broader Relationship with Latter-day Saints13:20 - Why This Response Matters for Reconciliation15:40 - Hosts’ Final Thoughts & Takeaways18:10 - Matt Fradd’s Palate Cleanser: A Beautiful Catholic Moment20:55 - Closing RemarksJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .
