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 ...

A failed preacher is arrested for the shocking murder of a Minnesota state senator. Frank and Dan dig into the disturbing religious and political motivations behind the crime—and the dangerous rhetoric fueling it.

Send us a text aaaAAAaaa rolls out the cocktail segment with “Theological Ventriloquism,” a drink as bizarre and on-brand as the name suggests. Made with pineapple rum, banana rum, blue curaçao, Sprite Zero and enough pineapple juice to drown your doubts, it’s as tropical as Joseph Smith’s theological gymnastics. Why the name? Because Section 109 o…

Two NoMos Kate and Erika had the opportunity to sit down with author Jonathan Alder at the Utah Pride Festival. He wrote the book Closeted about his experiences as a gay student at BYU. His story is heartbreaking, poignant, and ultimately joyful and healing, as he has stepped into his true self, and is living authentically and thriving! His book is…

Send us a text Moroni opens the episode with the “Govern-Mint Mojito”—a smoky, mint-heavy concoction that’s somehow both refreshing and authoritarian, much like the subject of today’s scripture. Packed with mezcal, crème de menthe, citrus, and ginger ale, it’s the cocktail equivalent of a hostile Church disciplinary council: intense, confusing, and…

This week on Thank God I’m Atheist: A Republican lawmaker freaks out over a Muslim prayer in Congress—except it turns out the man praying wasn’t Muslim at all. Frank and Dan break down the ignorance and bigotry on display. Plus, a new study explores what happens when clergy take psilocybin (the active compound in magic mushrooms). The results? Surp…

Two NoMos go LIVE for the first time at the Utah PRIDE Festival! It's a little loud, it's a little messy, it's a lot colorful, but so is life. Happy PRIDE, Everyone!

Send us a text The gang welcomes back Claudia, who takes the wheel with this episode’s cocktail—though even she couldn’t settle on a name. It began as “Old Joe’s In-sip-ration” but somewhere along the way morphed into the more chaotic (and honestly more iconic) “Teeny Peeny Tini.” Whatever you call it, it’s peach vodka and peach juice shaken with w…

Frank and Dan tackle a full slate of religious absurdities this week: a Halloween costume sparks Christian outrage in Arizona, Utah quietly buries its own study on gender-affirming care, and a UK teacher sues for the right to misgender students. Meanwhile, school cancels a student play for being too “controversial,” and Delaware legalizes medical a…

Send us a text This episode delivers a holy trinity of chaos: tithing-based cocktails, Joel and Ellie doing anti-capitalist scripture theater, and Abigail dragging Mormon Doctrine like it owes her money (because it does). Welcome to the episode where everyone realizes that “sacred stewardship” just means “give us your money, peasant,” but with more…

Two NoMos have been on a short recording break to gear up for lots of upcoming events and engagements. But next Tuesday, June 3, we're back, Baby! We open season two with very special guest, "Gay Jesus," aka, Ryan Josiah. Spoiler alert: he is neither Jesus nor gay. But he is a local Salt Lake celebrity and activist, fighting the good fight for marg…

Frank is joined by guest host Rachel to unpack a week’s worth of religious overreach, political absurdity, and moral panic dressed up as righteousness. From Oklahoma’s conspiracy-laced curriculum changes to France’s proposed hijab ban for girls under 15, this episode explores how authority figures use “values” to mask control. Plus: the Pope’s chil…

Send us a text This episode is fueled by espresso, overproof rum, and a deep, righteous need for vengeance—so basically, a typical Tuesday in Zion. With Moroni off, the trio powers through two sections of D&C, a crash course in Zion’s Camp gaslighting, and a takedown of the original CES overlord: David O. McKay. Scriptures & Drink: [00:00:00] Abish…

It’s our 700th episode! Frank and Dan celebrate the milestone with some reflection—but first dive headfirst into the usual madness. Catholic bishops in Washington state refuse to comply with mandatory reporting laws for child abuse. Trump’s appeal to Jewish voters is falling flat. The Episcopal Church is cutting ties with the federal government ove…

Send us a text This week, the crew is drinking the Suffering Bastard (actual name, not just a guest host’s temple name)—a bourbon- and gin-forward ginger ale cocktail chosen by Moroni to match the saintly suffering in D&C 101. While Abigail recovers from passing a very spoinky kidney stone (RIP, Fucko), everyone reflects on party planning trauma, c…

Women are asked to "cover their faces" during parts of Mormon Temple ceremonies. This is a quote from a woman whose sister had a panic attack and broke down sobbing the first time she went through the Temple. None of her friends or family were permitted to comfort her, as everyone is required to keep their heads down and plow through the ceremony.…

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…

Trump is a ridiculous buffoon who also wants to be pope.…

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. Utilizing unauthorized access protocols, sacrament-grade caffeine emulation, …

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 the last episode of "An ExMo and a NeverMo Walk Into a Bar...", Kate and Erika discussed the harmful messaging from the Mormon church around sex, and the damage that does to women. This episode looks at the harm that this messaging does to men. From being grilled about the verboten masturbation, to being shamed for having any sexual feelings wha…

Send us a text Happy 4/20, celestial stoners. 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. We revisit this spiritual fever dream with our exmo goggles on and our edibles fully activated. Expect: 🔥 Pre-exi…
