  • The Best Mormon Podcast

    I’m sorry, but I’ve listened to as many Mormon-themed podcasts as I can. Boomer men and women to Zoomer gals and guys. This is simply the best. It may take you a while to find the episodes which appeal to you. But if you’re interested in Mormonism, you will find something beautiful. And intellectually fulfilling. Extraordinary work.

  • Best in the Biz

    Dan has a unique ability to approach, wrestle with, and articulate deeply rich topics with an ease that makes it feel as though you’re talking with a friend. It’s a lost art, particularly given the tone of current discourse. Highly recommend.

  • Jesus a Communist? 🤮

    In episode 147, Mark Crego says “Jesus would be considered a Marxist/Communist by today’s standards.” Are you kidding? Christ wasn’t trying to create a political revolution. “Render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s.” He came to conquer sin and death, not to kill landowners. A glance at the Marxist revolutions of the 20th century should be enough to keep anyone from equating Marxism with the Son of God. Careless theology.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

06_Women Outside the Garden: When Sovereignty Becomes Holy Disruption
Q: How do we obey the rules and follow Jesus' example at the same time?
Obedience is about submitting to God rather than blindly following human authorities; exact obedience means being precise in where authority is placed and seeking personal confirmation from God rather than external mandates.
05_Women Outside the Garden: Healing from Generational Trauma
Q: What part did I play?
Acknowledging the part she played in her oppression was a difficult but necessary step for her own healing journey.
05_Women Outside the Garden: Healing from Generational Trauma

Susannah talks about the trauma she experienced within the church and how caring for her daughter with special needs led her to find her sense of worth.
213: What Does Healthy Differentiation Look Like?
Q: What has been the impact in these three months since all this happened to that community?

Q: When we're hearing things about the DNC that just either make us squirm or we're uncomfortable with it, where do we go from there?
One thing for sure is be prepared for Sunday School. You can read up and see what at least the Come Follow Me is saying we're going to do and learn that context.
