This week's episode covers a range of topics in the LDS world. The Church has released "Saints, Volume 4," continuing its narrative history series. An early Maori manuscript of the Book of Mormon has been discovered and made available online, offering insights into early translation efforts. The Tallahassee Florida Temple is now open for public tours, expanding the Church's presence in Florida.
In media news, Dallas Jenkins, creator of "The Chosen," spoke at a BYU devotional while the Church held its October 2024 Youth Worldwide Broadcast. On a more serious note, a man was arrested for threatening LDS and Catholic church buildings near Cottonwood Heights.
The hosts discuss famous Mormon world leaders, including Jacinda Ardern, Scott Morrison, and Stephen Harper. They also touch on lighter topics like a Utah resident's "Secret Lives of Mormon Wives" Halloween display and the AskGramps.org website.
Controversial subjects include a review of the film "Heretic," which takes a critical look at LDS missionaries and discussions about anti-LGBTQ rhetoric within the Church. The episode concludes with insights into President Nelson's focus on temple-building and its potential impact on member retention.
