Ep 38 - It’s Mostly Applesauce Up There

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">2019 in review! We read through the recent Jana Riess article about the most significant Mormon headlines of 2019 and discuss some highlights. Then we make predictions for what we might expect in 2020 and also what we’d REALLY like to see in 2020 regardless of how probable they might be. Then we do our next segment of The Case for the Book of Mormon by Tad R. Callister concerning evidence for a historical Book of Mormon. We wrap up with a happy news story about a church in St. Louis paying off thousands of people’s medical debts (yes, we have those in America). We finish off the episode with a bit of listener mail resulting from our Mormon Money series.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Links:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Jana Riess:  Seven top Mormon news stories from 2019</span><span style= "font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><a href= "https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2019/12/31/jana-riess-seven-top/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.sltrib.com/religion/2019/12/31/jana-riess-seven-top/</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Light of Gazalem</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><a href= "https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/st-louis-churches-buy-up-million-in-medical-then-give/article_cb5202e1-19ae-5cdb-aa4a-4359d17b5db2.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_St._Louis_Post-Dispatch&fbclid=IwAR2H7gIy-0erbu-qpTG2SSnrLJFshJVOZJO3OsbMOslE_ls3q2n9MQnU-Q4"><span style="font-weight: 400;">https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/metro/st-louis-churches-buy-up-million-in-medical-then-give/article_cb5202e1-19ae-5cdb-aa4a-4359d17b5db2.html?utm_medium=social&utm_source=facebook_St._Louis_Post-Dispatch&fbclid=IwAR2H7gIy-0erbu-qpTG2SSnrLJFshJVOZJO3OsbMOslE_ls3q2n9MQnU-Q4</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Opening Arguments Ep 344</span><span style="font-weight: 400;"><br /></span><a href= "https://openargs.com/transcript-of-oa344-did-the-mormon-church-really-hide-100-billion-in-assets-from-the-irs-feat
