The format of Inside Out is simple - Jim Bennett is still on the inside of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Ian Wilks is on the outside of the Church. Yet both care about the Church and its future, and both want to see constructive dialogue between those who stay and those who leave. Hopefully, all of us can come to a better understanding of the Church and of each other.

I was thrilled when this podcast first started and eagerly looked forward to each new weekly episode. Finally—an honest and respectful space for real conversations about concerns in the church! I loved Ian’s story and have cheered for the guests who are trying to make things better, while also shedding tears for those who’ve been hurt by the organization. I’ve related to almost every guest you’ve had on.
But Jim, I just can’t with the politics anymore. And before you judge me (because I know yo... more
“Change in an Unchanging Church” has a lot of important points and information that struck several chords for me.
I also recently finished watching all 9 episodes of “An Inconvenient Faith” docuseries.
Wow! Thank you for sharing all your research and knowledge. Thank you for the years of work and sacrifice to bring it to the rest of us.

I am so glad to have found this podcast. It gives a great 2 sided view on many topics and both hosts have great insight. I really enjoyed the Steven pynecker episode.
As someone who looks to the church to do more good with the resources it has, I appreciate Jim and Ian being willing to talk about areas where the church can be healthier. It gives me hope and inspires purpose for my place in the church that I don’t always get in my local congregation.
