Tonight’s episode dives into the LDS Church’s announcing Record Convert Baptisms. We look at those newly released membership numbers and the LDS Church celebrating massive growth, with nearly 400,000 converts baptized in 2025 alone. But when you look just a little deeper, the data raises questions and points to uncomfortable analytics.
We break it all down and let the numbers speak for themselves.

![The Problem of Evil and Austin Fife
The evisceration of the Light and Truth Letter continues! RFM is joined by Kolby Reddish as they continue their debunking of Austin Fifes pride and joy. In this strange chapter, Austin claims he left Mormonism after he stopped believing in God. Then, using only common sense, he reconstructed a new version of God that just happened to match the Mormonism he just left. More strange than true? Join us as we explore not only Austin Fifes faith journey, but also the question of evil in a world governed by a God who is allegedly both all-powerful and all-loving. Does such an idea make sense? And do Austins attempts to solve the problem of evil hold water? Listen to the evidence and you decide! [RFM 435]

![Black Skin a Curse from God?
Rumors have been swirling recently that the LDS Church is changing certain verses in its African language translations of the Book of Mormon; certain verses that in the English Book of Mormon talk about black skin being a curse from God. The rumor is that those verses have been changed in African language translations so as to keep Africans from knowing that the Book of Mormon calls black skin a curse. Radio Free Mormon investigates those rumors and reports the facts! [RFM 434]
