An Exploration of the Mormon Afterlife: Fewer Planets, More Ghosts

Episode script. Originally published 2026-08-22 at https://basedcamppodcast.substack.com/p/an-exploration-of-the-mormon-afterlife

In this special weekend episode of Based Camp, we explore Latter-day Saint beliefs about the afterlife, moving beyond the popular idea of “getting your own planet” to examine spirit world, proxy ordinances, family sealings, missionary work after death, the three degrees of glory, exaltation, and outer darkness. We compare LDS theology with mainstream Christian interpretations and their own developing religious framework—while asking what makes an afterlife meaningful, just, and worth looking forward to.

Happy Saturday!
