In this episode of Mormonism Live, Bill Reel and RFM delve into one of Mormonism’s most fascinating—and controversial—teachings: the idea that faithful Latter-day Saints will receive their own planets to rule, create, and populate in the afterlife. From Brigham Young to contemporary apostles, LDS leaders have long hinted at or outright taught this idea as part of the exaltation doctrine. But in recent years, the LDS Church has seemingly distanced itself from this once-prominent belief, with the LDS Newsroom even publishing a definitive “No” to the question of whether members will get their own planet. Bill and RFM juxtapose historical statements by past and present leaders against this modern PR stance, examining what this doctrinal shift might mean for members and the Church’s evolving theology. Join us as we explore questions of eternal progression, exaltation, and the tension between Mormonism’s esoteric past and its current mainstream narrative. Watch, learn, and share your thoughts in the live chat!

To be honest, “Get your own planet,” is far too limited in scope. I don’t think I’ve heard it taught (at church) that you get your own planet. My understanding would be that we can each progress in the same way God has…..that we can, in fact, learn to create worlds without end, galaxies, etc.
Timmy is exactly right, I was a totally active TBM for over 50 years before my shelf crashed and I had many, many discussions at church, in classes, in PH meetings , etc, where it was well understood and preached to us that we would become like Elohim and all His predecessors,
we would create innumerable worlds, galaxies…and this creation would continue unabated throughout all eternity…it used to make my head spin just trying to imagine it…lol!
