Infants on Thrones
Summary: An entertaining podcast about self-awareness and discovery. The title Infants on Thrones is an homage to the Mormon Founder Joseph Smith who said, in his lesser-known King Follet discourse, that eternity is full of thrones, upon which dwell thousands of children, reigning on thrones of glory, with not one cubit added to their stature. It is a funny image, but it also suggests that we, as amateur podcasters, do not really have all the answers we may think we do. We can't take ourselves too seriously. We are also Infants on Thrones.

Seven years. Six Hundred-Fifty-plus episodes. Six Million-plus downloads. Four Million-plus listeners. Let’s pause to celebrate what we have done and listen back to some of the great contributions from Randy, Scott, Bob, Matt, Tom, Glenn, John, Jake, Alison, and Heather. Enjoy!
Another Jeremy Goff smackdown, and another exemplary satirically celestial appearance of the one and only (if only that were accchttually true…) Stephen Erastus Knudsen III — the mold from which Jeremy Goff has been cut. Enjoy!
What do Brigham Young and Charles Manson have in common? All you need is love — AKA shedding a wicked person’s blood so that they can pay for their sins and be exalted in the highest degree of the Celestial Kingdom. Cuz that is what Jesus REALLY meant when he said “love your neighbor as yourself.” It’s right there in the Journal of Discourses. Straight from the mouth of a prophet of God. Take a listen.
What if the emotions from Pixar’s “Inside Out” got together in a Mormon-formed brain that experienced a faith crisis? Which emotion dominates in a pre, mid, or post-faith crisis mind? Those were the questions we playfully explored in our Sunstone panel on Aug 1, 2015 at the University of Utah. Listen in as Glenn narrates and the audience chooses exactly what will become of Joy (Jake), Sadness (Scott), Disgust (Matt), Fear (John), and Anger (Randy).
Glenn reads (and responds to) a Jeremy Goff blog post about why people leave THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS, and then revisits a classic Infants’ panel discussion “50 Ways To Leave the Church” with Tom, Randy, Jake, and John. Enjoy.
When is murder not actually murder? Jeremy Goff sets the record straight once again. You just gotta hear it to believe it.
Can sarcasm and humor help heal the wounds of a faith crisis? Those are the questions considered in today’s episode as Glenn is interviewed by author and life coach Wendi Jensen for her group Thriving After Mormonism. wendi@wendijensen.com www.thrivingaftermormonism.com
Three episodes in one. First, Glenn and Tom reflect on their missions and share how their patriarchal blessings impacted the course of their lives. Then you get to hear a previously unpublished episode from 9 years ago that goes into more detail about their mormon missions. And finally, the story of a one time streaking missionary who is now a religion teacher at BYU Idaho. A fun, jam-packed episode. Enjoy,
What would Joseph Smith say if he were to offer some kind of apology today? Glenn takes a stab at imagining such an apology. Tom and Brady take a stab at stabbing that stab. Sorry if that sounds like way too much stabbing. Blame it on the angel with the flaming sword.
Glenn and Tom are joined by Brady Bluhm to have another condescending conversation with Quad (the almighty).
Tom, Randy, and Heather discuss some recent Mormon-news topics and revisit the infamous policy reversal with some new information.
Glenn and Tom sit down with Street Epistemologist extraordinaire Anthony Magnabosco to talk with Renee Cordeschi about her exit from the Jehovah’s Witness cult. Keep track of any the Mormon parallels. There will be a quiz (only 144,000 people will pass).
Glenn recently discovered that he can actually talk to Quad, and that Quad will talk back. Forefront on his mind was whether or not there is some kind of eternal justice in this world or beyond. Tom Perry joins in for the smackdown. It’s a good one. Enjoy. P.S. What questions would you like to ask Quad?
Glenn shares his thoughts on the Ronald E. Poelman talk/talks from 1984 and drops some Infant gen conf goodies from the past
What happens when the Lord™ draws a firm line in the sand (in November 2015) and then kinda sorta undraws it 3 1/2 years later? Glenn, Heather, and Tom discuss. With maybe a brief special visit from a certain Brother Jake. Enjoy.
