Hi everybody welcome to my channel, Mormonism with the Murph!
The goal of this channel is to explore the controversial aspects of the LDS Church's History, Doctrine, Truth Claims and History!
I grew up in the Church, had a strong testimony the church and gospel was true, served a mission etc. But at age 22 I lost my faith encountering some troubling parts of church history.
I had experiences that brought me back to the faith and the last couple of years I have gone back and forth between critics and apologists over many of these issues.
I aim to balanced, fair and to look at both sides of the argument and explore the faithful scholarship and apologetic answers or evidence on a given topics. I will be researching different topics and interview experts, historians and scholars to discuss many of these topics, primarily faithful scholars as well as some critics.
Please like, comment, share and subscribe to my channel!

I had a really awesome part 2 conversation with Ganesh Cherian and also with his friend David Eaton. It was a long but enjoyable conversation where we talk about his book, building bridges between believers and unbelievers, different spectrums of belief and book of Mormon authorship and historicity.
In part 2 Ganesh was willing to answer listener questions and respond to some apologetic arguments in favour. We discuss the following: was his methodology parallelomania or only searching for things which support his theory?, ancient elements and forms in the Book of Mormon, ancient names and wordplays, Hebraisms, Chiasmus and repeating stories and narratives. I think this is a convo both believers and unbelievers in the book of Mormon might enjoy!
It's being released tomorrow 7:30pm UK time. Be there and make sure you like, comment, subscribe, share etc. Please to help the channel grow :)

Hey everyone, I will be bringing back Ganesh for a part 2 to discuss his book and more listener questions. If you have a question either on a topic or argument from his book 'Joseph Smith the Architect of Mormonism', let me know and I can include it. I hope to bring up more apologetic arguments in this part also than last time!

Hey everyone, this was one of my favourite episodes and interviews so far on my channel and it has gotten not many views so far. If you are interested in church history and the priesthood ban I highly recommend watching this, Paul is an excellent historian and he covers the history very thoroughly.

Be sure to check out tomorrow's episode with scholar Kent Jackson on the Joseph Smith translation of the Bible and the Adam-Clarke commentary! Unfortunately during most of the interview Kents camera wouldn't work but the audio is still there and I enjoyed the interview

Be sure to tune in to my final temple and Masonry episode being released Thursday 7pm!
In this episode (which is long over an hour) but is my final summary and overview on this topic. I cover and summarise changes to the temple endowment, do I think specific features in the endowment have a stronger source or connection to Masonry, the bible, his environment or ancient rites.
I then discuss different theories: a naturalistic explanation, the presentation hypothesis or ancient restoration view and share my views and final thoughts! I've worked on this series for a year, if you've enjoyed it please tune in :)

Hi everyone, I just want to say a massive thank you to those who were able to financially support and donate during this time. It's been a busy few weeks with the house move but I've been able to upgrade my studio and purchase a new camera, mic and lighting. It wouldn't have been possible without generous people donating, it really means a lot especially with all I've gone through these last few months, with the financial tax bill and everything :)
I hope to keep going for the foreseeable future, while at a slower pace than before, but to steadily keep putting out content, interviews and continue researching about these various truth claim topics.
If you wish to contribute or support Donor Box, Patreon or Go Fund me are the best places or one off donations via Paypal.

Hi everyone, during this next month my wife and I are moving into our new home. I'm hoping to set up a new studio, purchasing a professional camera & mic etc.
During the process of purchasing the house, unfortunately we've been hit with an £8,000 stamp duty tax on top of the deposit and solicitor fees. This money was to go towards new furniture and the studio.
Obviously with the cost of moving , new furniture etc one can appreciate how awful this added expense is and the money I was saving towards the new studio will likely be needed to cover this huge expense. On top of this we've been paying both my mortgage for my flat back in Northern Ireland plus our current rent, and we've had no tenants the past 4 months and incurred over £600 in repairs with likely more coming.
Now more than ever, if people have appreciated all the work I have done and would be willing to support during this financial hard time we're going through, any financial support or donations would be deeply appreciated. Donations have dropped off very low I've lost a couple recurring donors recently and am just barely covering expenses such as editing, zoom software etc.
If one is able to offer any support, a one off donation or recurring on Patreon- it would be a HUGE HELP at this time and enable me to continue with the channel and upgrade the studio and continue with future projects.
If any listeners or supporters of the channel are able to help at this time, it would be a huge relief and the biggest Thank you to me and the family
