On this episode of The Mormon Newscast, we take a closer look at a growing debate inside Mormonism: Are Latter-day Saints actually leaving the Church—and if so, why? Apologists and researchers are pushing back against the idea of mass disaffiliation, pointing to data showing high activity rates among those who still identify as LDS. But does that data tell the full story? We break down the claims, the research, and what it may reveal about the Church’s future. We also cover major financial news as the LDS Church quietly dumps billions of dollars in stock holdings, raising new questions about its investment strategy and long-term financial positioning. Plus, we provide an update on the Temple Square renovation project and the ongoing conflict in Fairview, Texas, where residents continue to push back against the Church’s temple plans.
Other stories include growing concerns about missionary safety in Mexico, renewed debates over the Word of Wisdom and green tea, a cultural shift as more Latter-day Saints openly discuss sex and sexuality, and new historical insights into the evolution of temple garments and how their meaning and design have changed over time.
The Mormon Newscast brings you the most important stories shaping Mormonism today, with context, clarity, and analysis you won’t find anywhere else.
