April 12, 2026·51 min
Episode Description from the Publisher

Is the LDS Church a Cult? Who knows! But either way, people do call it a cult, and that doesn't seem like that will be changing any time soon. Join us as we talk about WHY people call it a cult. Is it just an inflammatory pejorative? Or does the term serve an important purpose?What does our choice of whether or not to refer to it as a cult say about our experience, and is it possible that someone could be having a legitimate experience that is different?We dig deep into our thoughts about how we've separated the LDS Church from other religions and organizations, and examine if those distinctions still feel like they hold water.This episode is a part of our Tackling Clichés series. 🌐 More episodes & links: https://linktr.ee/latterdaybridgebuilders📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latterdaybridgebuilders 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@latterdaybridgebuilders☕ Support the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LDSBridgebuilders
