I just started listening to this podcast from the beginning after reading “Saints” and wanting some clarification and a deeper dive into some of the topics. This has been exactly what I was looking for! I have learned a ton and have strengthened my testimony on the divine origins of the church. It has been interesting and I look forward to listening to it!
Never a boring episode! I always am learning new things and I love the back and forth with Casey and Scott and the skepticism and truth found in each episode. Thank you for teaching and entertaining!! I’ve promoted this podcast to many over the years!
Podcast like this that seem to have grown out of the closure of Covid, have strengthened and built upon my testimony as a convert. I am so appreciative of these talented, knowledgeable, and dedicated individuals who felt it important to create these podcasts to help us members who have to navigate all the negativity of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Thank you very much, gentlemen.
Great podcast; well researched; great information looking. Interesting to listen to. Well done.
One of the best podcast out there. The episodes on Ezra Taff Benson was pretty one-sided, left-wing, and didn’t carry a lot of context for communism, but other than that every episode is incredible.
