The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #185:Letting Their Light Shine W/Jeff, Vanessa, & Sharis AlldredgeSometimes I feel like we are living in a Charles Dickens novel, "It was the best of times and the worst of times..." As disciples of Christ we can defiantly see that times are getting harder. However there are also some great things happening as well. For example, never before has humanity had the ability to communicate with the rest of the world without a middleman. Also for us Orthodox Mormons we can be a little more bold in proclaiming who we are than those who came before us to keep the religion alive. Today I have on a...

One of the things that took me by surprise were emails from listeners asking me if I knew someone they could go and talk to to try and improve their family relationships. I looked around and there weren’t too many councilors I felt comfortable referring Mormon Fundamentalists to. I did however find someone who I think could be a Godsend to some. Her name is Liz Bradley. I talked with Liz quite a bit before I had her on the podcast to...

When I was first exploring Mormon Fundamentalism, I found that the search was hard to find people and groups to talk to. It seemed to be just the nature of most fundamentalists to be kind of on the down low and that was for good reason based on all the persecution that the community had endured. I just remember being frustrated that there wasn’t a place to go where I could and just read about the groups and their different ideas and history. Well today on th...

One of the reasons I love Mormonism so much is because it is more than just a church. It’s not enough just to show up on Sunday throw a couple of bucks in the collection plate, listen to a sermon, and shake some hands. Mormonism is a community, almost a counterculture with its own language, culture, and practices. Sometimes I think we forget that it was designed that way by the Lord. We see this most often in our early history. That was never more evident than when the early pione...
2023-08-261h 44The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #84: Exploring Fundamentalist Churches Part 1: The Church Of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints & The Kingdom Of God W/Stephen NielsenWhen I first left the LDS Church I remember looking around for a place to go worship on Sundays with my family. As I looked around there weren’t exactly big fundamentalist church buildings on every corner. This meant I had to really search around and dig to find folks. Now for guy like me who is maybe just a little bit lazy and who likes his recliner, a bag of Doritos, and football a little too much it felt a little daunting. I remember thinking while searching “man I wish I knew where to look”. Well starting today I am h...

We covered his Father, his birth, his upbringings, early life and concluded with the episode with his 1909 inquisition by the Quorum of the Twelve.

They will often employ tactics such a presentism to make their arguments. This is where we try to take historical figures out of the time in which they lived and judge them based on our own times. The result is a slanted view of history without considering historical context. Also, when it comes to Joseph Smith’s plural marriage historians and ex-Mormons paint Joseph Smith as a predator preying on the women that would become his wives. The shocking truth is when you read the words of his wives you so...

One of the tactics commonly used by detractors of the Restored Gospel is to call into question the veracity of the Book of Abraham.

The moments serve as inflection points signaling the direction the LDS church will head and the speed at which they intend to make changes to serve this new course. I believe that one such inflection point just
happened at the last LDS General Conference when Elder Allen D. Haynie gave a talk in which he stated that prophetic counsel has an expiration
date. Well that’s just perfect. So now you no longer need to read those dusty old books known as the scriptures, or go...

This because both of these states are unique in both their history and culture. Those who seek to install tyranny in America understand that if they can get rid of freedom in these two states the rest will be significantly easier.

Global Warming gets dismissed because we had some really cold years so it turns into Climate Change. The vaccines are effective….both of those turned out to be 100% wrong after “the science” had been settled. But Noah’s flood oh yeah that science has been settled….or has it?

2023-02-113h 07The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #49: Therefore Choose Life W/Deanna Holland of Pro-Life UtahOk Parental Advisory time. Younger children probably under the age of thirteen shouldn't be listening to this episode!!! I take every episode of this podcast seriously. But this episode, but this episode is as serious as a heart attack. I had a good friend once that said, "if you look at the Old Testament God finally lets judgment come to Israel every time, they start sacrificing their children to Baal and Moloch." Well, the practice of sacrificing children is still here and I am not just speaking figuratively. On the podcast today I have Deanna Holland. She is one...
2023-02-041h 39The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #48: Utah's Coming Political Abomination & The Playbook for The Rest of The Nation W/Chelcie HopeHave you ever wondered how a people who have been raised with freedom manage to lose those freedoms? See if corrupt politicians were to just come along and take them suddenly I think we would all throw a party with pitchforks and torches. No how a people lose their freedoms is by wilfully giving them up. Tyrants have long had this sick fascination with wanting those they subjugate to beg them for the tyranny those tyrants offer. Today on the podcast I have on Chelcie Hope. Chelcie is a woman who has watched and spoken out against governments' never...

2022-12-2441 minThe Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #41: A Mormon Fundamentalist On TikTok W/Benjamin WinfieldSo a few months back I was scrolling through my Facebook feed and I saw a post from someone that caught my eye. I clicked on the link and what I found was a post from a guy who is a Mormon Fundamentalist who was using was short Tik Tok videos to explain Mormon Fundamentalism as well as to push back against misunderstandings, and erroneous teachings about the Restored Gospel. Thant man name is Benjamin Winfield. On this episode Benjamin and I have a fascinating conversation. We talk about how he became a fundamentalist, how he found himself being t...
2022-12-171h 47The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #40: Instalment 4 Of The Jewish Calendar Series: Hanukkah W/Joshua EricksonOn this episode of the podcast we continue the series about the Jewish calendar and feast days. Now as always I strongly recommend that if you haven’t listed to the previous episodes in this series you go back and do that first. The reason is that these celebrations build on top of each other.. Those would be episodes # 27,28, & 30. This time around Joshua Erickson and I break down Hanukkah. We dive into the history of the festival and how it is celebrated today. As we discuss these things there are fascinating ties to Joseph Smith as well as some pr...

2022-12-032h 32The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #38: (ATTENTION PARENTS) The Dark Root Of The Public Education System W/Russ BarlowSo just the day before Thanksgiving my buddy sent me a news article that told the story of an elementary school in California who had authorized an after school club for Satanists. Let me say that again…an elementary after school club for Satanists. I found the timing interesting because just a few days before that I had a conversation with Russ Barlow about the state of public education. Now for those who haven’t listened to Russ’s first time on the podcast I would encourage you to go back and listen to episode #35. Now on this episode Russ a...
2022-11-262h 00The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #37: Repelling The Latest Attacks On Joseph Smith & The First Vision W/Justin FrancomSo there are a ton of things I have learned in doing this podcast. The one thing I have learned that I never saw coming was to just what lengths people will go to, to discredit Joseph Smith and other early LDS church leaders. See this very same tactic was used to discredit the Founding Fathers of the United States in order to remake the country into something it was never supposed to be. Well as said earlier now the same tactic is creeping into Mormonism. Discredit the founder and then Mormonism can be turned into something else. It...
2022-11-261h 29The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #36: Something Wicked This Way Comes, The Unfiltered Truth About Our Economy W/Kelsey WilliamsLook I told you from the very first episode of this podcast that I was always going to tell you the truth as I understand it. Doing that means sometimes having to say things that may be unpopular or unpleasant. This is going to be one of those episodes. For about the last 6 months I have seen instability in the economy, now I these were just my gut feelings. So when I have those feelings I reach out to people who are way smarter than me on the topics at hand. It’s for this reason that I brought Ke...
2022-11-191h 57The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #35: Science With No Agenda, Exploring the Universal Model W/Russ BarlowNo matter what kind of society people live in, societies have narratives. The narratives that any society or group espouses or believes becomes the framework on how that society or group functions and behaves. So let’s look back at the pandemic, where the narrative was “follow the science”. Around climate change the narrative has been “the science is settled”. It is from the starting point of those two narratives that society has made its decisions concerning public policy. So let’s look at the outcomes in our society of operating in that narrative. In the case of Covid we had busin...
2022-11-121h 52The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode#34: Joseph Smith's Last Charge & The Transfiguration Of Brigham Young W/Drew BrineyIn Mormon history there are a few events that are watershed moments that shape the future of Mormonism for generations. A couple of those events are Josephs Smith’s Last Charge and Brigham Young’s Transfiguration after the martyrdom of the Prophet Joseph Smith. To better understand those events I have a man on the podcast that certainly needs no introduction in Mormon Fundamentalist circles. He is a former attorney, an author of many books both scholarly in nature as well as fiction. His name? Drew Briney. On this episode we breakdown Drew’s back story a little bit, and th...
2022-11-052h 38The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #33: Deep Mormon Doctrine In The Pistis Sophia W/Ken PetersonSo for those of you who have been listening for a while you will remember a few Months back I had on Ken Peterson.

On this episode I have Ken back on and we have a conversation about one book of the Apocrypha in particular and that is the Pistis Sophia. This particular book of the Apocrypha is fascinating. In its pages we see the resurrected Savior...
2022-10-291h 56The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #32: Solutions for Preserving Liberty & Fulfilling Our Mandate as Mormons W/Enoch More Founder of Defending UtahSo I was just talking with a friend a couple days ago about the podcast. He said “Dave I love the podcast but you have had a few episodes that seem out of place on a podcast about Mormonism.” I asked which ones and he told me the ones I have done about liberty and freedom. In response to that I want to read the following quote from Brigham Young
“Every organization of our government, the best government in the world, is crumbling to pieces. Those who have it in their hands are the ones who are destro...
2022-10-221h 52The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #31: Answers to Mormon Fundamentalist Questions W/ William Dummkopf, Michael Ness, & Jacob VidrineSo I have a question….What happens when a Lutheran interested in Mormonism has a discussion with three Mormon fundamentalists? Well you are about to find out. A few months back I had a man named Billy reach out to me with some questions about Mormonism, Fundamentalism, and the LDS Church. Now one of the things I like about Billy is that he is an honest seeker. He wants to understand without playing “gottcha games”. Billy eventually had the idea of wanting to come on the podcast and ask some questions about Mormon Fundamentalism. Now because I like Billy I thou...
2022-10-153h 21The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #30: Instalment 3 of the Jewish Calendar Series: Feast Of Tabernacles W/ Joshua EricksonToday is October 10, 2022. It is the first day of the Feast of Tabernacles. So on this episode Joshua Erickson and I are continuing our discussion on the Feast and Holy Days of the Jewish calendar. This is instalment number 3 in the series. Again I strongly recommend that if you haven’t going back and listening to Episode # 15. That episode sets the table for this series.

2022-10-091h 05The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #29: Staying Traditional In a World Gone Mad W/ Nate & Megan RichardsonNow just as a disclaimer I recorded this episode after my wife and had attended a football game so my voice was kind of shot. One of the things I enjoy most about doing this podcast is talking to Mormons of all walks of life. This episode is an example of that. I had the opportunity to sit down and have a conversation with Nate & Megan Richardson. Nate and Megan are devout members of the LDS church who have decided to structure their family and raise their kids in a very traditional Mormon way. We covered everything from Nate's...
2022-10-092h 03The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #28: Part 2 Of The Jewish Calendar Series: Yom Kippur W/Joshua EricksonOn this episode of the Podcast I continue my conversation with Joshua Erickson for our series on the Feast & Holy days of the Jewish calendar. As Mormons one of our central tenants of faith is the idea of restoration. Now we know that the Feast and Holy days were instituted by God anciently and were observed by the Savior himself. This leads to the questions that should we as Mormons give greater attention to the Jewish calendar and can we glean something special from an understanding and even participation in these Holidays. Now I strongly encourage those who haven’t...

On this episode Joshua and I talk about Rosh HaShanah. What the celebration is in remembrance of, how it is celebrated, and some interesting parallels in the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
2022-09-241h 38The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #26: Idaho’s Totalitarian Experiment W/Sara BradySo two years ago when we were in full lockdown because of Covid there were a few things that I saw that really shocked me. One of those was Idaho’s response to Covid. I have said before on the podcast that I lived for quite a few in Idaho so I felt like I had a pretty good idea on what their government leaders were like. I have to admit that I was wrong. I was shocked to see the draconian measures that the state took in locking down its population.
One story that was especially ja...

The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #25 A Key to the Mormon Counter Culture W/Ben ShafferThe term counter culture is a term that we as fundamentalist & traditional Mormons I think better start to take seriously. Let me tell you how the dictionary describes counter culture “a way of life and set of attitudes opposed to or at variance with the prevailing social norm”. So if you’re like me you are probably thinking wow maybe we as traditional & fundamentalist Mormons are a counter culture. Well the good news is we aren’t the first and we might be in good company….excepting of course the drug culture of the 60’s. If you take a historical l...

We all see that the world around us is getting darker. It is plainly evident that the love of man is waxing cold. We see violence, corruption, war, hunger, poverty, sexual immorality all around us and it oly continues to intensify. In a world that has seem to have lost its moral compass what are we supposed to do as followers of Christ? The answer to that question is that we must stop looking for others to change. We have to be the change we seek. Today on the podcast I...

The next two weeks I have a couple of guests on the podcast to try and help us make sense of what’s going on. This episode I have on Ben McClintock. Many will recognize Ben as being the co-founder and former face of Defending Utah. He has sinc...
2022-08-211h 56The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #20 Mormon Doctrine In the Apocrypha W/Ken PetersonSo I have a question, If Joseph Smith really restored the Gospel we should be able to look back to ancient prophets and their teachings and we should see that those teachings line up with what Joseph Smith taught right? Well on this episode of the podcast I have a conversation with Ken Peterson. Ken is a devout lifelong member of the LDS Church. Ken has released a book titled Mormon Doctrine in the Apocrypha. In the book Ken lines out where teachings from the Apocrypha are exact matches to the teachings of the Restored Gospel as taught by...
2022-08-142h 04The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #19 Priesthood, Priesthood Keys & Presidency W/ Michael NessOne of the greatest points of contention between Mormons of different sects has always been who is in charge and who has the keys. To get the proper answer to that question there is a lot of principles that need to be understood first. On this episode Michael Ness comes back on the podcast to discuss that very topic. We do a deep dive into priesthood, priesthood keys and Presidency. As we compare and contrast those three topics I think you will find that certain assumptions we may have made about these topics might be incomplete as we look...
2022-08-063h 04The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #18 The Dream Mine W/Kevin KrautOn this episode I have Kevin Kraut back on the podcast. Today we are going to talk about a topic that isn’t well known unless you’re in fundamentalist circles. That topic is the Dream Mine in Salem Utah. This mine has been the subject of visions, prophecy, & one man’s excommunication from the LDS Church. We breakdown the history of the mine, its current state, and also how it ties in to some peoples end times theology. Now personally I haven’t made up my mind if the stories associated with mine and its prophesied future production are true...

2022-07-181h 39The Mormon Renegade PodcastEpisode #15: One Continuous Covenant With Joshua EricksonOn this episode of the podcast I sit down and have a conversation with Joshua Erickson. I have known Joshua for about a year. He is a Mormon Fundamentalist that takes a very holistic view of Mormonism. Rather than seeing the gospel and restoration in a New Testament & Old Testament sort of way he tends to look at it from the whole. The outgrowth of having this point of view is that Joshua and his family practice Mormonism in conjunction with holding to many ancient Jewish traditions including celebrating the feast days as outlines in the Old Testament. We...

Finally we debunk a new idea gaining ground with young Mormons that the Law of Consecration & United Order is simply socialism with a religious bent. We do this by digging into the scriptures and seeing what the Lord has to sa...

Carolynn is a Rockstar when it comes to food storage. With inflation spiking I feel like this conversation might be needed now more then ever.
