What if the Three Nephites weren’t just ancient disciples… but beings from another world?In 1940, a Dutch man named Udo Wartena claimed he had a close encounter with visitors from another planet while living in rural Montana.According to his account, the beings:Looked like regular menTraveled in a large disc-shaped craftSaid they “mingle with your people” and “give help where needed”Refused to discuss Jesus Christ or religionIn this episode, we explore the strange parallels between Wartena’s story and the Three Nephites from the Book of Mormon — immortal beings who minister among people, gather information, and offer help without interfering with free agency.Could some UFO encounters actually be the Three Nephites (or similar beings) at work? We discuss the theory, the implications, and why this story feels oddly familiar to Latter-day Saints.What do you think — were these visitors aliens, or something else entirely?#ThreeNephites #UFO #BookOfMormon #LDSChapter Markers / Timestamps:00:00 - Intro: UFOs, Aliens & A Wild Theory01:35 - Personal Family UFO Story (Project Blue Book)03:05 - The Udo Wartena 1940 Montana Encounter04:42 - He Gets Invited Onto the Craft05:33 - “We Mingle With Your People and Give Help Where Needed”06:08 - Connection to the Three Nephites07:22 - They Refused to Talk About Jesus Christ09:34 - Parallels With Jesus’ Instructions (“Tell No One”)11:50 - “Do You Hold the Priesthood?” (The Question They Left Out)14:45 - Why Haven’t We Found Alien Life?17:44 - The Fine-Tuning of the Universe as Evidence for God19:53 - Final Thoughts: Aliens or Ministering Beings?Join this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .

Matt Fradd of The Daily Wire finally breaks his silence on the major backlash following multiple anti-Mormon episodes and articles that were released in a single week.In this response, Fradd explains:As a Catholic apologist, his mission is to defend and promote Catholicism — not to be a conservative political commentator — so he will continue critiquing other faiths, including Mormonism, but the volume and timing made it look like a coordinated attack.He clarifies that the Daily Wire is a large company where things sometimes “fall through the cracks,” and this was not a deliberate company-wide campaign against Mormons.The Ward Radio hosts react:They appreciate Fradd’s honesty and see it as a step toward reconciliation.They note that Fradd’s core arguments against Mormonism remain unchanged, but the presentation issue was the main problem.Discussion on whether this response is sufficient and what it means for the future relationship between The Daily Wire and the Latter-day Saint community.This is a significant moment in the ongoing conversation between Catholic apologists, The Daily Wire, and Latter-day Saints.#MattFradd #DailyWire #MormonControversy #LDS #CatholicApologeticsChapter Markers / Timestamps00:00 - Intro: Matt Fradd Finally Speaks on the Mormon Controversy01:00 - Matt Fradd on the Backlash from Angry Mormons02:15 - Why Multiple Episodes Were Released in One Day03:45 - Matt Fradd: “Daily Wire Was Wrong to Do That”05:10 - Matt Fradd as a Catholic Apologist (Not a Conservative Activist)06:50 - Hosts React: Is This a Real Apology?08:30 - The Importance of Presentation vs Intent10:45 - Daily Wire’s Broader Relationship with Latter-day Saints13:20 - Why This Response Matters for Reconciliation15:40 - Hosts’ Final Thoughts & Takeaways18:10 - Matt Fradd’s Palate Cleanser: A Beautiful Catholic Moment20:55 - Closing RemarksJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCnmsAFGrFuGe0obW6tkEY6w/joinAmazon Wish List: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1AQLMTSMBM4DC?ref_=wl_shareVisit us for this and more at: WardRadio.comTo subscribe to "The Women of Ward Radio" Youtube Channel, please visit: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCbu-wpRztV-8TYXClhUZhhwTo Subscribe to Cardon Ellis' Adventure Channel, please visit: http://www.youtube.com/@CardonEllisAdventuresThe following authors and/or sponsors are generously offering discounts on their gospel-related publication to Ward Radio listeners.⚡For free trial of Scripture Notes please visit the following link!: https://scripturenotes.com/?via=wardradio⚡For a discount on Tiny 3D Temples, Save 15% with code WARDRADIO at checkout or visit tiny3dtemples.com/wardradio⚡Family: A Rhyming Proclamation for Kids book visit the following linkhttps://plainandpreciouspublishing.com/products/family-a-rhyming-proclamation-for-kids .
