| 2/11/26 | ![]() Family Ties and Legal Minds Inside LDS Church Leadership | Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we take a deeper look at who actually rises to leadership inside the LDS Church and why. A new analysis shows a striking pattern that raises questions about loyalty, trust, and how power reproduces itself inside a church that claims to be led by revelation rather than résumés or relationships. Also on tonight’s show: * Easter observance versus General Conference and what gets emphasized when the calendars collide * Moroni’s trumpet: religious symbol, sacred relic, or cultural artifact? * The soaring cost of renovating the Salt Lake Temple and what members are (and aren’t) being told * The George Zinn case and why false claims of violence intersect with Mormon-related narratives * An update on the kidnapped LDS children returned from Croatia * And a look at Church growth claims in Africa and other regions. What’s real, what’s exaggerated, and what deserves scrutiny As always, we cut through spin, ask the uncomfortable questions, and focus on what these stories reveal about power, belief, and institutional control inside modern Mormonism.

| 1/27/26 | ![]() LDS Kidnapped Children Found in Croatian Orphanage? | Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we cover a developing and deeply troubling story now dominating headlines: four LDS children reported missing in Utah have been located in a state-run orphanage in Croatia. We walk carefully through what is currently known, what remains unclear, how authorities say this situation unfolded, and why this case is raising urgent questions about custody, international systems, and institutional responsibility. As more facts emerge, we focus on separating verified information from speculation — because stories involving children demand both urgency and restraint. We also cover several other major developments across the Mormon landscape this week: • A proposed LDS temple in a former dark-sky city and the growing backlash from local residents • A newly released painting of Joseph Smith that’s already generating intense reaction • The contrast between traditional Christian Easter observance and LDS General Conference weekend • Claims of an emerging “polygamy denier” purge within Mormon discourse • And the latest chapter in the ongoing struggle over the word “Mormon” As always, we cut through spin, slow the story down, and ask the uncomfortable questions — not to inflame outrage, but to better understand what power, silence, and institutional culture can obscure.

| 1/22/26 | ![]() Inside the Disappearance of LDS Devotion | Tonight’s top story looks at new national data revealing a growing gap inside the LDS Church — especially among Gen Z members. While many young adults are stepping away entirely, new research shows that those who remain often continue outward religious behaviors like church attendance and temple participation. But beneath the surface, something deeper is happening. Only a minority of Gen Z Latter-day Saints report finding sacrament meeting uplifting. Confidence in prophetic leadership has dropped sharply compared to older generations. Daily religious practices like scripture study, prayer, garment wearing, and full tithing adherence are all significantly lower than they once were. In other words, many young members are still showing up — but fewer are actually believing, feeling, or engaging in the way previous generations did. Tonight, we break down the data point by point and explore what it reveals about faith, identity, cognitive dissonance, and why increased outward devotion among remaining believers may actually signal pressure, not strength. This is not speculation. This is not anecdote. This is what the numbers actually say. Plus, we’ll cover additional top Mormon news stories shaping the week such as Colorado Springs Temple News, LDS Missionary Fall, Texas Land Grab, Lucifer’s Lantern, & LDS Drilling For consecrated Oil The post Inside the Disappearance of LDS Devotion appeared first on Mormon Discussions Podcasts - Full Lineup. | — | ||||||
| 1/15/26 | ![]() Unlock Your Loins on Your LDS Mission | Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we lead with remarks from Elder Dallin H. Oaks encouraging Latter-day Saints to marry younger. We take a clear-eyed look at what was said, why it matters, and why it’s raising eyebrows yet again. We also cover a full slate of additional stories shaping the Mormon world this week, including a shooting at a Tongan LDS meetinghouse, the quiet end of Temple Square missionary service, disturbing reports involving sexual activity inside Idaho church buildings, renewed scrutiny over missionary-related sex trafficking claims, and a leadership update with Dieter F. Uchtdorf now serving as acting church president. We’ll also unpack the latest developments in the ongoing “foot lawsuit.” As always, The Mormon Newscast cuts through spin, avoids easy narratives, and focuses on what members and former members actually need to know.

| 12/24/25 | ![]() LDS Church Moves Away From KJV? | The LDS Church has quietly opened the door for English-speaking members to read Bible translations beyond the King James Version. On the surface, that may sound harmless. But once members begin reading the Bible in clearer, modern language, some long-standing Mormon doctrinal assumptions start running into friction. Tonight, we look at why this change matters and what happens when Mormon theology is measured against a less filtered biblical framework. We also cover several additional stories making waves this week: We’ll look at how a Primary song may be quietly showing doctrinal shifts, a spell-check mishap involving Wade Christofferson, and break down the announcement of 55 new missions. There is also a petroglyph story, we examine what’s really behind the Church’s plan for bishop interviews in 2026, and we share a surprisingly funny story involving Christian Christmas tree ornaments. And there are a few darker stories that made the headlines too. As always, we cut through the spin and focus on what actually matters. The Mormon Newscast airs Mondays at 6pm Mountain Time.

| 12/16/25 | ![]() LDS Church Claims Growth — Data Says Otherwise | This week on The Mormon Newscast, we lead with new data from sociologist Jana Riess showing that Gen Z and younger Millennials are leaving the LDS Church at significant rates, raising serious questions about the Church’s repeated claims of strong growth. We break down what the data actually says, what it does not say, and how this trend collides with the Church’s public narrative. We also look at the newly announced Young Men’s Advisory Board and what it signals about where is heading. At the same time, Apostle David Bednar suggests that faithful parents can ultimately save wayward children, a message that raises concerns about shame, pressure, and misplaced responsibility placed on families. Finally, we cover multiple temple-related developments, including updates on the Heber Valley temple, new temple announcements quietly disappearing from public discussion, and why the Church appears to be shifting how it manages temple messaging altogether. We close with disturbing updates in the Saratoga Springs sexual abuse case and what it reveals about accountability and responsible handling of such.

New details are out about how the LDS Church allegedly handled his membership, leadership callings, and decades of abuse reports. And what this says about the system itself.
