After receiving requests from both of our listeners, the Podcast Dudes™ knew it was time to resurrect the Potluck. I mean really, how has the gospel moved forward without our great works? Like a rough stone rolling, we dust of the cobwebs and plow through a session like we know what we talking about. We are a little rusty, and I can’t say our reunion broadcast went without a hitch (Sean: next time we’ll pay attention to your text messages), but as they say, when you fall off the horse, you have to get right back on the bicycle. If your not careful, that ship will sail!

Seriously, we are glad to be back. We are working on some great topics for future episodes and think you will enjoy the upcoming shows. Let us know what you think.

Show notes? We don’t need no stinkin’ show notes!

As if this subject doesn’t come up enough! Well, we’re here to tell you to go out and get your missionary work done. It’s your job!

Okay, not really. We take a peek at this well worn phrase and what it has come to mean to most members. Sure, we try to mix a little fact and history in as well, so you may end up a little smarter after you listen. (This of course will only counter the effects of previous episodes, so you may just end up “less dumb”, patents pending.)

Have you ever considered the difference between Mormon doctrine, and the policies that govern members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? In this episode, your hosts attempt to sort out what constitutes Mormon doctrine, and what practices seem to be based on policy alone.

On what doctrinal basis was the priesthood denied to some members? Do the monthly church publications The Ensign, or The Liahona constitute modern day scripture? Are some church policies not known by the general church membership?

Join us as we fire up the collective brain power of the brethren and attempt to form an opinion and answer questions about these important matters. And remember, if you hear it on this show, it’s Mormon doctrine according to the Potluck Dudes!

As a member of the church, you have no doubt been confronted with the question, “Are Mormons Christian?” If you are a friend or critic of the church you may have asked this question yourself. One thing is clear, no matter which side of the discussion you are on, this question can evoke a range of emotions. With the increased media attention the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints has received lately, the question “Are Mormons Christians?” has been asked with greater frequency, and the debate rages on.

Not sure who’s in charge? Neither are we, so we thought we should find out.

In this episode we explore the succession of the President of the Church, analyzing the church’s policy and scriptural references. Join us as we explore the highest levels of church government including offices you have heard of, like the First Presidency, and maybe a few you haven’t (Common Council of the Church anyone?).

Listen as the Potluck Dudes are rebuked, and repent of their sins. Find out how you can locate ‘missing money’, and don’t miss Brother Sean’s LDS Joke of the Day™.

Takin’ care of business… the Mormon way!

In this episode we discuss what can often be a delicate topic… doing business with ward members. Who hasn’t heard the horror stories? Ever been left wanting after patronizing a ward member for a critical product or service? Have you been promised untold riches if you become a distributor for the latest MLM product? As a professional, does it drive you nuts to be asked for advice in the hall after sacrament meeting?

If these or other questions keep you up at night, you should seek professional assistance! If you just want to hear what four guys with nothing better on a Thursday night think, you have come to the right place. Pull up a chair and dig in, it’s time for another helping!

Join us for a special episode featuring music from LDS artists.

Music has a profound effect on our lives. Who doesn’t have a favorite song that when heard, transports you back to a specific time and place, or evokes a raw and real emotion? Our discussion this week focuses on the role music plays in our lives, and explores some of the church’s counsel regarding today’s music.

Is all “hard rock” and “rap” music bad for the soul? Can you listen to music, ignore objectionable lyrics, and still get to heaven? Tune in, turn on, and find out what we think about contemporary music.
