As members of the church, we are constantly admonished to "be peacemakers", but that lofty ideal is difficult to distill into practical, every-day action. In this video we discuss with Loren Dean, the leader of the California Libertarian Party, who happens to be members, how to actually do this in real life.

Cardon sits down with Egyptologist Kerry Muhlestein to unpack the myths, assumptions, and lazy learning that dominate conversations about the Book of Abraham. Together, they challenge the sound-bite culture that treats skepticism as “objective” and faith as “biased,” showing how both sides often rely on unproven assumptions.Kerry explains why secondary sources and quick takes fall short, how Joseph Smith’s idea of “translation” was broader than critics assume, and why ancient texts resist simple, one-size-fits-all answers. The discussion tackles papyrus theories, scholarly blind spots, and the need for honest engagement with scripture itself—not just internet arguments.At its heart, this episode is about moving past surface-level debates to a deeper, more nuanced search for truth. Kerry’s scholarship and Cardon’s lively questioning create a compelling, accessible conversation that will challenge believers and critics alike to rethink what they thought they knew about the Book of Abraham.

If there is a silver lining in the assassination of Charlie Kirk, it is the entire new generation of movements of positivity and Christianity that have been inspired.

Today we welcome Larry Correia to the Ward Radio Wigwam to teach us his whimsical wizardry of wordsmithing... that was a horrible attempt at an erudite alliteration.

The last journalist to profile Charlie Kirk was also the first to announce his assassination. Meet Brigham Tomco, a dedicated young journalist at the Deseret News.

We hope you enjoy this touching, thought-provoking, and sometimes humorous interview.

Cardon sits down with Egyptologist Kerry Muhlestein to explore the “Top 10 Reasons to Believe in the Book of Abraham.” Their conversation moves beyond defensive apologetics into a thoughtful, candid, and sometimes lighthearted discussion of why the Book of Abraham deserves to be read as both an authentic ancient text and a source of profound spiritual truth.Kerry shares insights from years of scholarship, showing how historical details, linguistic patterns, and archaeological discoveries align with Joseph Smith’s translation. Just as importantly, he explains how the Book of Abraham continues to inspire personal revelation, deepen understanding of God’s covenant with His children, and connect ancient faith with modern discipleship.Rather than treating the text as a controversy, this episode highlights the richness of the Book of Abraham, the doctrinal depth it offers, and the lived spiritual experiences that testify of its divine origin. It’s an invitation not just to study the evidence, but to encounter God through the words of Abraham himself.

Or could it have been something far more physical, natural, and scientific?In this fascinating episode, guest Jerry Grover joins host Cardon Ellis to propose a groundbreaking reinterpretation of the biblical Babel account. Drawing from the Book of Ether, floodplain studies, and modern science, Grover suggests that mosquito-borne encephalitis—not an instant linguistic miracle—may have caused the “confounding of languages.”

What does it really mean when Latter-day Saints say, “I know the Church is true”?In this episode, we respond to a recent video by Nemo the Mormon that critiques the epistemological basis of LDS testimonies.
