[The Mormon Newscast April 21st 2025] Is religion actually… good for you? In this episode of The Mormon Newscast, we dive into a powerful New York Times article exploring whether Americans who left religion are now realizing what they lost. From loneliness epidemics to the hunger for awe, we break down the data behind belief, belonging, and the return of spirituality—even among the secular.

Also in this episode: updates on several LDS temples across the globe, a dismissed lawsuit involving tithing funds, the passing of Pope Francis and its global implications, and a handful of smaller but intriguing headlines from the world of faith. Buckle up—this one’s a mix of reverence, reason, and righteous curiosity.
