Join us in listening to her thoughts beforehand, what happened in the moment, and all the details of the aftermath. Crystal is firm and powerful in her message and her intent.

This week, national media is bursting with references to the roles of LDS Bishops in connection with marital abuse, divorce, childhood sexual development and more. We tackle these issues with a few personal experiences and a relevant MormonLeaks audio recording. But do not despair, there is a brightness this week as we bring you the Instagram account @provoguysamiright. An unholy collection of screenshots from “Brovo, Utah: a land flowing with milk, honey, and NCMO propositions.” Plus, a TBM summary of the stats surrounding the stagnant growth of the LDS Church. And as always, Miranda’s Post Mormon Life Pro Tip, a crash course in Tequila!!!
The Angels on Fire are joined by the devil himself, Mike Norton. We subject him to a firey round of Church History trivia, mercilessly peppering him with questions. Each time he gets one wrong, he takes a shot, but don’t worry, its Mike, he knows Church History! Each time he skunks us, then we have to take a shot. After our rousing game, we turn up the heat even more and ask Mike a few questions of our own that you’ve never heard the answers to! But this second half is only available to our loyal listener subscribers on our Patreon channel. Be sure and join the party, and don’t miss out on the rest of the interview!
The LGBTQIA community dominates the topics for this week, bringing with it a powerful mix of emotions and reactions. Dan Reynolds debuts his documentary Believer, at Sundance. Josh and Lolly Weed announce their divorce, an end of a mixed orientation LDS marriage. We cringe and die laughing at the Instagram account @byupda. Sam Young is defined as an apostate by his Stake President, because of his campaign to Protect LDS Children. And we tease you with our newest Patreon endeavor, Drunk Mormon Kitchen!!!
