Cultish

In this episode of Cultish, Andrew Soncrant is joined once again by former Mormon and Reformed Baptist pastor Braden Patterson to respond to a popular LDS video challenging Protestant Christianity. Together they tackle four foundational questions often raised by Mormon apologists: • Who has the authority to interpret Scripture? • What is the purpose of life? • How can a person know they are saved? • Why did God stop giving new revelation and Scripture? Drawing from Scripture, church history, and Braden's firsthand experience growing up in Mormonism, this conversation examines the differences between historic Christianity and the teachings of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Along the way, Andrew and Braden discuss the sufficiency of Scripture, assurance of salvation, the Gospel of grace, the nature of true authority, and the Mormon claim of a "restoration" of the church. If you've ever wondered how Christians should respond to common Mormon objections—or if you're a Latter-day Saint honestly exploring these questions for yourself—this episode is for you.

In this episode of Cultish, Jeremiah Roberts and Andrew Soncrant respond to Netflix’s The Evil Influencer: The Jodi Hildebrandt Story. They examine how Mormonism’s emphasis of personal revelation can become a breeding ground for cult leaders who claim to “hear from God,” and how institutional trust plays a role—highlighting the fact that Jodi Hildebrandt was listed as an approved therapist by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This episode explores the dangerous mix of spiritual authority, therapeutic language, and unchecked influence—and why discernment matters. What happens when personal “revelation” overrides accountability? How should Christians evaluate spiritual authority claims made by therapists, influencers, or church-approved leaders?
