Ostlerian Mormonism: Mormon Philosopher vs. Mormon Prophets

In this episode of Cultish, I’m joined by Aaron Shafovaloff of Mormon Research Ministry and Skyler Hamilton of Distinctive Christianity and the three of us take a closer look at Blake Ostler, a fringe Mormon philosopher whose theological speculations are causing waves—even within the LDS community. Ostler’s views on the nature of God, eternal progression, and the atonement don’t just stretch the boundaries of Mormonism—they outright reject foundational teachings of mainstream Mormonism.

What happens when a philosopher tries to rebuild Mormon theology from the ground up?

Join us as we expose the deeper issues behind Ostler’s reimagined LDS framework. We break down why his ideas are gaining traction with Neo-Mormons and how they reveal a growing fracture within Mormon thought.

Could Ostler’s theology be paving the way for an entirely new form of Neo-Mormon spirituality?

Tune in to find out!

Cultish is a 100% crowdfunded ministry.
