Follow Up to the Debate

During a debate between Radio Free Mormon (RFM) and Midnight Mormons, hosted by Shawn McCraney, both sides shared valuable insights about Mormonism, with RFM offering articulate, fact-driven critiques of the institution and Midnight Mormons presenting heartfelt, experience-based perspectives. McCraney critiqued straight-up anti-Mormon platforms for a lack of follow-up support to those leaving the church and emphasized the ethical obligation to provide resources and guidance for individuals transitioning out of Mormonism.

Shawn's teaching emphasizes the need for respectful dialogue and understanding among individuals with differing beliefs, particularly regarding the LDS Church, highlighting the potential for building bridges instead of creating conflict. He observes that while the Midnight Mormons, namely Kwaku, Brad, and Carden, demonstrated sincerity in their Mormon convictions, Kwaku's approach seemed more politically oriented, suggesting a shift toward an event and political career could be more suitable, while Brad showed potential for future leadership within modern-day Mormonism.
