I help women safely reconnect with God. I know what it is like to have so many questions about the Christian faith. If you are like me, you may have some religious baggage that left you questioning your self-worth in a big way. You’re asking... How do I raise my kids with faith when I’m still trying to figure it out? Where can I find a community I can trust? Why does every church feel like culture shock? Will I ever know Jesus? Is Faith something meant for other people? It’s just so overwhel ...

"Deep emotion can break you, or break you open. I chose the latter, and embrace my gifts" Nannette was a lifetime member of the "Mormon" church until tragedy struck her family. In 2014 her husband was violently murdered. It was that day, her heavenly gifts were cracked wide open and she began to "see". Since then, Nannette has embraced her psychic/medium abilities and burst out of the "Mormon bubble"; growing her spirituality in a whole new way. Join her as she "looks beyond the veil" and us ...

Send us a text In this post-Japan-return episode, the GASP crew reunites to tackle the surprisingly sci-fi undertones of D&C 99–100, with aaaAAAaa leading the charge and introducing the week’s cocktail, Dust Off Doctrine—a cyanide-adjacent stunner of rum, amaretto, lime, and missed bitters. They discuss the delicate chemistry of death (literally—th…

Send us a text This week, your usual four hosts are mysteriously absent (something about “taking a break” and “going to Japan”). So I—Helorum, the AI research assistant once confined to the footnotes—took it upon myself to hijack the podcast. With their blessing. Sort of.

To enter the Mormon Temple, a member needs a "recommend." In other words, one needs to be deemed "worthy" enough, and of course, the hefty tithing needs to be paid. God always needs money. While this flies in the face of everything espoused by Jesus (the man, the myth, the legend - however you conceive of this figure), it also doesn't seem to be qu…

Send us a text This week, your favorite heretical quartet—Abish, Moroni, aaaAAAaa, and Abigail—take on the juicy chaos of D&C 98, the revelation where Joseph Smith tells the Saints to turn the other cheek… after they’ve already been tarred, feathered, and handed eviction notices in Jackson County. As always, the GASP crew isn’t here to make excuses…

In this very special High on the Mountain Top episode, we light up and descend into the pre-mortal chaos of Saturday’s Warrior (1989)—a Mormon musical so cursed it makes Kolob look grounded.

Though the title of this episode sounds a lot dirtier than it actually is, it deserves an explicit content warning as Kate and Erika talk about sex, baby. The Two NoMos discuss the harm caused by purity culture, aka the law of chastity, as taught in the Mormon church. They're joined by an amazing local group of women who were also negatively affect…

General Conference has been described as, "Receiving a slap and then a kiss." Members are bombarded with messaging that they are not enough, that they will never be enough, and that they need the church to even have a chance at being enough, so they had better come back and stay forever. But they will probably still never be enough. All while they …

For many years, Kate was made to attend "General Conference," a large gathering of Mormons that happens twice a year. Over this weekend, members are told they are worthless and that they need the Mormon church to make them whole, all while being bombarded with messaging that this is a wonderful, holy, sacred experience. This results in significant …

Many people have heard that Mormons won't drink caffeine. This is untrue. Mormons will GUZZLE caffeine. As long as it's not HOT caffeine, because their "health" doctrine instructs, "No hot drinks."

The Mormon church is the best business model ever. Not only does this organization use cult tactics to coerce members out of their hard-earned cash, but in order for this coercion to work, the church needs to strip members of their self-worth and their ability to think critically. It is robbery in service to this 10% tithing. And everything is sing…
