Episode 214

Mormons and the Pilgrims Myth

In this special Thanksgiving episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon eat pumpkin pie and take a look at the Pilgrims and the Puritans in their historical context. Much has been made of the idea that the story of the Pilgrims has a deep connection to the Restoration.

Many books and videos have been produced on this topic and Mormonish wanted to understand exactly what that connection was. Join us for an informative and revelatory look at the Pilgrims and their destiny. And did we mention, there's pie!

**Correction: The Separatists known as the Leiden group spent several years in the Netherlands before leaving on the Mayflower. Due to too much sugary whipped cream, we mistakenly said Denmark. It was the Netherlands.

This episode was originally aired Thanksgiving 2023,

Happy Thanksgiving to all from Mormonish Podcast!
