Critic argues new 25-minute LDS classes limit gospel discussion

August 11, 2026 at 11:53 PM MT · Summarized by Mormon News from original reporting

Mormonish Podcast posted a video arguing the Church's new 25-minute Sunday class periods are "engineered to reduce gospel discussions and focus only on Jesus," generating 7,820 views in 37 hours. The creator suggests the shortened format leaves little room for deep dives or substantive discussion.

The video critiques the format change as prioritizing "safe" topics over open examination of doctrine or difficult questions, reflecting ongoing debate about the Church's curriculum direction.
