  • 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.
