  • Honest Search for Truth

    Bill has done an amazing job of bringing truth, honesty, humility and great research to the table with his podcast. I’ve listened to every single episode and learn from each one. He also has a vision (that’s come to fruition) to include/sponsor many other podcasters in the post-Mormon space, which is both admirable and helpful. Thank you Bill for all of your hard work. I highly recommend this podcast.
