The Mormon News Roundup recently sprinted past Scripture Central, Mormon Stories, Mormon Discussions, and just about everyone else on its way to the summit of the YouTube mountain—now sitting at 3,000+ videos and growing.

That’s CRAZY!

At this point, who actually stands between me and the title of most prolific Mormon/ExMormon YouTuber of all time? (you know—the king!) and how long until this channel stands alone at the top?

Watch to find out!

🚨 Why does LDS apologist Steve Densley want this video taken down so badly?

What exactly is so embarrassing about it?

Why is Sword and Spirit trying to memory-hole this conversation before more people see it?

Because in this clip, a Mormon apologist openly argues that people leave the LDS Church because they are mentally and emotionally broken — framing former members as “deranged” rather than engaging with their actual concerns and experiences.

Now that the video is facing a takedown request, you have a limited chance to watch it before it potentially disappears from YouTube.

🛑 Important update: My podcast was threatened — here’s what’s really going on

Last May, I received a legal notice from attorneys representing The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (via Intellectual Reserve, Inc.), the first time my show — Mormon News Roundup — has ever been formally threatened over its name. The letter claimed the word “Mormon” is a registered trademark, and that continuing to use it might be misleading or infringe on the Church’s rights.

I haven’t publicly addressed this until now because I wanted to figure out the full legal context and consult counsel. I have retained legal representation — and I’m currently in the process of reviewing our options.

If you’d like to learn more about the issue — the arguments, the church’s position, and what this could mean for critical voices online — check out this article: www.sltrib.com/religion/2025/12/08/lds-church-pres…

I want you, the listeners and community, to know what’s at stake. I also want to emphasize: I’m not going quietly.

🙏 In light of the horrible tragedy at the LDS meetinghouse in Michigan today, I’ll be canceling tonight’s livestream.

I want to clearly condemn this violence. My thoughts are with the victims, their families, and the community. May we all work toward healing, peace, and compassion in times like these. 💔

🚨 NOT SAFE FOR WORK 🚨

Another YouTuber just dropped a thumbnail saying “He is coming” and that the Church is preparing for something massive 😳

So now I have to ask…

👉 What could it be?
⚡ Wrong answers only!

EXCLUSIVE!

What’s the deal with this new LDS leadership chart? The First Presidency is like, what!?, and the Quorum of the Twelve looks… different. Maybe I just haven’t been keeping up with the latest apostolic shuffle, but this isn’t the lineup I remember.

Would you sustain these brethren, or did the Church just release the most confusing power rankings of all time? Let me know what you think—because I’m pretty sure even the angels are scratching their heads at this one.

🎙️ Personal Recommendation: Don't Miss This Powerful Conversation 🎙️

If you're interested in personal stories of faith, feminism, and leaving the Mormon Church, I highly recommend checking out this enlightening episode featuring Rene Steelman from She Became Visible and Jenn from All Those Opposed.

They have a candid and thought-provoking discussion about:
- Confronting patriarchal structures within the church
- The role of feminism in their faith transitions
- How platforms like TikTok have given them a space to express themselves and find community
- Navigating the challenges of motherhood and a faith crisis
- The reactions they've faced along their journey

If you’re on a similar journey or just curious about these powerful stories, I promise this conversation will resonate. It’s real, raw, and incredibly inspiring!

Check it out now on YouTube — you won’t regret it!

👉 Be sure to visit *She Became Visible* and *All Those Opposed* for more insightful content.
