Were We Wrong About Mike Winger?

In this candid Ward Radio episode, Cardon Ellis and Luke Hanson reflect on their in-person meeting with Pastor Mike Winger at Ruslan KD’s Blessed God Summit. After years of debunking Winger’s critiques of Joseph Smith, the Book of Abraham, and Latter-day Saint beliefs, they share what happened during their hallway conversation and revisit their strongest criticisms.
Did meeting him change their view? They play original Ward Radio clips alongside Winger’s content, discuss priestcraft and financial transparency in ministry, evaluate his character and accessibility, and explore whether their past takes were too harsh. Topics include cordial disagreement, the challenges of engaging critics, and hopes for future dialogue.
A must-watch for Latter-day Saints interested in interfaith conversations, evangelical critiques of Mormonism, and honest self-reflection in apologetics.
Featuring clips from past episodes and direct analysis of Winger’s statements on LDS topics.
