My Mormon bishop friend recently presented a lecture about how statistics show that the Book of Mormon defies naturalistic explanations. How did Joseph Smith as a “subsistence farmer” write something so amazing and long in only 65 days? Let’s jump into some of these statistical claims to see if the Book of Mormon is truly a miracle and that it shows that Joseph Smith had to be translating an ancient record.

This episode is part 25 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. This episode covers chapters 20-26 of the book of Alma.

Eventually, Aaron, one of the brothers goes to “king dad” in the land of Nephi

Why would one man’s death 2000 years ago affect me? That’s the question this episode is about. This episode is based on a Sunday School lesson I’m teaching while the usual teacher is away.

In the last few weeks I have picked up a new habit: writing opinion pieces. In this episode I explain the art of writing and how to crush writer’s block by keeping your “talking” and “editing” functions from fighting each other. Then, I summarize four opinion pieces I pitched and had published in other venues. My recent opinion pieces: Periodical: The Thinking Conservative “How Men Are Behind Abortion Culture—And What They Should Do About It“ “There IS a Monster Under the Bed! It’s Time To Make Fairy Tales Great Again“ Periodical: The Baptist Standard “Letter: Only two-thirds of U.S. Christians believe all have sinned“ Organization: The Libertarian Christian Institute “Abortion and Bastiat’s Seen and Unseen“ We value your feedback!

My oldest son Aiden returns to Truthspresso as we reflect on Charlie Kirk’s influence in both of our lives. Kirk was almost exactly in between us in age.

As you likely know, Charlie Kirk was assassinated on Wednesday, September 10, 2025. In this episode I give a little tribute as I recall how I discovered what happened and how it affected me. Seeing the sheer number of bloodthirsty banshees on the legacy media and on social media callously celebrating Charlie Kirk’s violent and untimely death is indeed disturbing. I believe this tragedy could be the catalyst for a long overdue revival in the United States, even around the world. We value your feedback! Have questions for Truthspresso?Contact us!
