What if the biggest cultural shift today isn’t about demographics—but about fathers, faith, and the family itself? In this roundtable episode of Ward Radio, Cardon Ellis and guests dig into how men’s traditional roles are being replaced, and what that means for modern religious life.From the rise of “substitutional patriarchy” (when government and institutions step in where men once did) to the increasing number of women leaving organized religion, we explore the forces reshaping family, faith, and fulfillment.Backed by data on happiness, politics, and faith, the panel asks the big question: can family and religious structures survive today’s cultural and social pressures?

Aaron Sherinian’s appointment as the Church’s new communications director has stirred up both excitement and outrage.

From social media firestorms to FAIR Conference moments, we examine Sherinian’s background, his response on the Proclamation on the Family, and the deeper questions about grace, unity, and leadership in a polarized world.

In this special final episode with Richard Radstone, things slow down—and go deep.This isn't about headlines, career highlights, or even hot takes. It's about God, grief, and the long road to healing.Richard opens up about the spiritual fallout of loss, the search for redemption, and the hard-won lessons that only come through heartbreak. This is the side of belief that doesn’t fit neatly in a testimony meeting—but still leads you to Christ.If you've ever questioned where God is in the middle of pain, this one's for you.

What happens when you pause long enough to truly hear a stranger’s story? Richard Radstone did exactly that—and turned it into Sidewalk Ghosts, a grassroots movement that’s redefining connection, one conversation at a time.In this episode, we continue our sit-down with Radstone to explore how faith, storytelling, and raw human vulnerability can break through the noise of a digital, polarized world.From spiritual manifesting to emotional survival in high-pressure creative industries, this isn’t your average “testimony meeting.” It’s a candid take on how living it forward starts by listening deeply, showing up authentically, and leaning into the awkward beauty of real connection.

Evangelical profiteers can't make their money debating members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints on equal footing so they always must resort to evangelical ambushes... and the latest one comes from the Dr. Daf Show. In this video we react.

A lot of people used to like Josh Benson for his wholesome entertainment... until religious bigotry became on of his offerings. In this video we debunk some of his worst anti-Mormon religious tropes.

In this video we will discuss the fallout surrounding Aaron Sherinian's appearance at FAIR Mormon, LDX's gross response, and why we can't have nice things...

Recently, we challenged the YouTube Channel "Testify" and their mischaracterization of the Prophet Joseph Smith (and Muhammad)... but the video we were debunkind didn't just stop there... it kept going into Abaraham! So we kept going too! Enjoy.

🎸 Discover the untold story of resilience and faith as six Tongan Mormon boys navigate the trials of being marooned on a remote island for 15 months. Far from descending into chaos, these young men exemplified leadership and cooperation, crafting a life out of the island's sparse offerings. They built a community based on shared responsibilities, dividing tasks such as gardening, cooking, and maintaining a continuous fire. Their ability to adapt and innovate, like creating musical instruments to lift their spirits, showcases the power of positive thinking and collaboration. This narrative not only refutes the bleak outlook of 'Lord of the Flies' but also celebrates the triumph of human spirit and the profound impact of faith and friendship in times of crisis. 🎶⏱️⏱️VIDEO CHAPTERS⏱️⏱️:00:00:00 - Real-Life Lord of the Flies: Tongan Kids' Survival00:02:05 - Shipwrecked for 15 Months: True Story of Survival00:03:56 - Tongan Boys' Island Adventure: A Tale of Resilience00:05:54 - Survival Skills: How Tongan Teens Thrived on an Island00:07:49 - The Rescue: How Shipwrecked Boys Were Found00:09:47 - From Shipwreck to Salvation: The Boys' Return Home00:11:43 - Unexpected Heroes: The Fisherman Who Saved Them00:13:37 - Imprisoned Upon Return: The Boys' Legal Battle00:15:30 - Ata Island: The Uninhabited Rock of Survival00:17:22 - A Miracle of Survival: The Boys' Incredible Journey00:19:12 - Historical Context: Ata Island's Dark Past00:21:15 - Legacy of Survival: Impact on Tongan CommunityTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Order Jonah's Book, "The Key to the Keystone" visit the following link and use coupon Code: WARDRADIO https://tinyurl.com/Key-to-the-KeystoneFor 10% off Plain and Precious Publishing Books, visit plainandpreciouspublishing.com and use Coupon Code: WARDRADIOFor a 5% discount on Go and Do Travel, visit goanddotravel.com and use the promo code WARDRADIO5For a copy of Brad Witbeck's Novel, "Dragon Thief" Book, visit: https://a.co/d/7QzqsZN⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradioJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.com#christian #mormon #exmormon #latter-daysaints #latterdaysaints #latterdays #bible #bookofmormon #archaeology #BYU #midnightmormons #jesus #jesuschrist #scriptures #sundayschool #biblestudy #christiancomedy #cardonellis #kwakuel #bradwitbeckTo support the channel:Venmo @WardRadio or visit: https://account.venmo.com/u/MidnightMormonsPaypal: paypal.me/@midnightmedia Amazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareCashApp: $WardRadioFollow us at:Instagram: @cardonellis @kwakuel @braderico @boho.birdyFacebook: @WardRadioWorldwideTwitter: WardRadioShowTikTok: WardRadioWorldwide
