Responding to the 2024 Elections

/ Daniel Mynyk/ No Comments

The 2024 elections exceeded many expectations. Donald J. Trump is once again slated for the White House.

He won in an electoral landslide and won the popular vote. He gained in almost every demographic. We look at some fiscal data and figure out why Gen Z and younger Millennials shifted the most toward Trump from 2020.

Some people are really unhappy and feel their very livelihood and the world is in danger. After playing some clips of TikTok people melting down, I present a challenge to Christians. If you’re happy or feel relief, avoid the trap of kicking people while they’re down. Be a listening ear and ask questions gently. Speak truth in love. Ease the angst and look for opportunities to further the gospel.

The Book of Mormon: Part 2 (1 Nephi chapters 16-22)

This episode is part 2 in a series going through the story of the Book of Mormon. 1 Nephi chapters 16-22 cover the journey of the prophet Lehi and his family to the coast of southeastern Arabia. Nephi builds a ship. The family sails to their new “promised land,” which is somewhere in the ancient Americas. Once there, the family found resources to build civilization there. Nephi wrote some prophecy on metal plates and explained to his older brothers what it means and encourages them to obey God’s commandments. I briefly address issues over the Laman river, horses in Mesoamerica, and the curious convenience of hindsight in detailed prophecies allegedly written in the 500’s B.C.

A Conversation with Three Mormons

My brother John joins me for the first time as a guest on Truthspresso. Two Mormon missionaries and their bishop visited my house on Friday. John was there to join me. We all had a delightful conversation. After the Mormons pitched their church and explained that they have continuing prophets, John and I asked some basic probing questions about the atonement and who they believe Jesus to be. John and I talk about this conversation and give an overview of the Book of Mormon. We also discuss a few details in the life of Joseph Smith. *** Please contribute to theHurricane relief fund for A.M. Brewster*** We value your feedback! Have questions for Truthspresso?Contact us!
