Episode 204 - Mormon Missionaries Are Committed to the Assignment
Why do Mormon missionaries travel in pairs, follow strict rules, and spend so much time away from their normal lives? And what's behind the LDS belief that humans can eventually become gods?
Missionary service is one of the most recognizable parts of Mormonism, but the rules governing it are probably less familiar. From assigned companions and restrictions on entertainment to the expectations placed on young missionaries, there's a lot more structure involved than simply knocking on doors.
Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman continue their Mormonism series with a conversation about missionary life, the LDS doctrine of exaltation, and another question that's been hanging around this whole series: Why are Mormons so incredibly nice?
Follow the show for more conversations about religion, culture, and the questions that usually lead to even more questions.

Ep203MormonsPart6FinalAudioOnly
If someone dies without being baptized, can another person do it for them? According to Mormon teachings, baptism for the dead is an important part of how Latter-day Saints understand salvation and the afterlife.
But that opens up a much bigger conversation. What do Mormons believe happens after death? How does their understanding of heaven compare with traditional Christianity? And why are living members of the LDS Church performing religious ordinances on behalf of people who are no longer alive?
Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman continue their exploration of Mormonism, this time looking at the LDS afterlife, proxy baptism, and the beliefs that make these practices possible. Turns out, the question of what happens when you die has a few more layers than you might expect.
Follow the show for more conversations about religion, culture, and the questions that tend to complicate everything.

Episode 202 - Mormonism Has Some Very Specific Rules
Why do Mormons believe Jesus came to America, what happened with plural marriage, and what exactly are temple garments?
The Mormonism series continues with some of the LDS beliefs and practices that tend to generate the most questions from people outside the church. Nate and Dr. Joseph Tillman get into the belief that Jesus appeared in the Americas, questions surrounding plural marriage in Mormon history, and the lifestyle restrictions associated with being a Latter-day Saint.
Then there are temple garments and the questions, misconceptions, and jokes surrounding them. Dr. Joseph brings the historical and religious context while Nate continues asking the questions exactly the way Nate asks questions.
