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™.
