Episode #241 The Teachings of Jesus Christ & Stoicism W/Rob Nielsen

Stoicism is a philosophical movement and practical guide to living, emphasizing daily self-discipline and moralimprovement, which originated in the Hellenistic period of ancient Greece and proliferated well into the Roman Imperial period. Ancient Stoics believed that the universe operated according to reason, constructed from ideals of rational discourse. These ideals constitute virtue, whichis necessary for the Stoic goal of 'living a well-reasoned life'. But how does this involve the teachings of Savoir? Well today on the podcast I have on Rob Nielsen who has just published a book the topic title “Jesus The Stoic Sage”. During the course of our conversation, we explore striking parallels between the words of Jesus Christ and the wisdom of Stoic masters like Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. Along the way we talk about principles such as, finding peace in the midst of personal crisis, becoming a self-actualized person, TempleCovenants, and more. I have read Rob’s book and highly recommend it. You can find the link to the book below.

Episode #240: Mormonism & America-How Closely Are They Really Tied Together W/Justin Francom

Today is July 4th 2026, 250 Years since we declared our independence as a nation. America and the Restored walk hand in hand. Today I have a real treat for you as we sit down and have a conversation about just how closely they are tied together. What is brought out are somethings that I dont think anyone has thought about before. In addition to this a new idea gets put forward on why Joseph Smith never had any inspired revisions to parts of the Old Testament. From there we dive into talking about what is plaguing our nation most right now and what each of us can do to deepen our faith in the Restored Gospel of Jesus Christ and help to heal our country as we put forth ideas, concepts, and principles that I believe show that God is not yet done with America. HAPPY 4th JULY!!!

Episode #239: End Times Prophecy W/Nate Richardson

I have already said that playing the game of pin the tail on the apocalypse is a losing game, and I stand by the comment. However, the Savior himself gave us signs that would come that would let us know that we were getting closer. Today on the podcast Nate Richardson joins me as we have a conversation about End Times prophecy. Nate dives deep to illuminate prophecies made in scripture, Mormon sources, and even prophecies made by those outside the restoration that sound really familiar to those made that sound like they back up some very Mormon ideas about the end times. Along the way we talk about how quickly some of these signs could happen based off of the news of the day. Now the big take away is that you shouldn't just run out and disrupt your whole life but should instead put the focus where it belongs and that is squarely on our Savior Jesus Christ Restored Version Of The ScripturesBuy LDS scriptures with original wording and modern formatting.

Episode #238: D&C 132, New Meeting Minutes, Upcoming Projects, & Adam-God W/Drew Briney

On this episode I have Drew Briney on as we talk about some interesting topics. We start by talking about some new projects Drew is working on. From there I ask a question about D&C 132 that leads to some fascinating insights on one part of the revelation as we talk about Mormon history and the concept of Abrahamic tests. From there I ask Drew about some new meeting minutes that were released a few weeks back that sheds some additional light on the Adam-GodDoctrine, along with that Drew then dives into two more topics contained in the meeting minutes that are kind of controversial. We then wrap it all up by diving into two new books that Drew is working on about the Adam-God doctrine that leads to some amazing insights and ideas. If any of these topics fascinate you, I can’t recommend highly enough that you scope out some of Drew’s other books.  Link To Drew Briney’s Amazon Page Amazon.com : drew briney [https://www.amazon.com/s?k=drew+briney&crid=8RSDU7TR312P&sprefix=drew+briney%2Caps%2C468&ref=nb_sb_noss_1] Facebook Group Link For Mormon Fundamentalists In Virginia: Mormon Fundamentalists in Virginia | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1169314875291287] Jeff Aldredge Project In South Dakota Homesteading Opportunity in South Dakota [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtX-C-LUQoA&t=3s] Jeff Alldredge Email: oldpathsnew@gmail.com

Episode #237: Uncanonized Revelation Series: Joseph Smith #4W/Elior Walker

On this episode we are going to get back into the 125Uncanonized Revelations that are found in the RSV Scriptures as Elior Walker joins me to have a conversation about the fourth revelation of Joseph Smith in the RSV. Before I go any further, I want to point out that there is one part of this revelation that could be controversial that I intentionally didn’t mention in this episode. I did this so that the podcast doesn’t get deplatformed. I will, however, be doing a second episode on this revelation where we can cover that more controversial part and I will most likely be setting up a Substack page to do that episode at a later date in the very near future. On this episode Elior and I have a conversation that touches on so much, ranging from higher ordinances to plural marriage. We then turn to the point of emphasis of whatElior wanted to bring out of this revelation as we talk about the downfall of Babylon and the establishment of Zion.      Facebook Group Link For Mormon Fundamentalists In Virginia: Mormon Fundamentalists in Virginia | Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/groups/1169314875291287] Jeff Aldredge Project In South Dakota Homesteading Opportunity in South Dakota [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TtX-C-LUQoA&t=3s] Jeff Alldredge Email: oldpathsnew@gmail.com
