  • Ep. 15 - Faith Journeys, Communism, and Climate Repentance: A Conversation with Ex-Mormon Madison Palica
    Dec 11 2022

    In this episode, I speak with Madison Palica, a self-described ex-Mormon. Obviously, there are some things that we disagree on, but you may be surprised about how much we agree on given my brief description. Among the things we discuss in this conversation is the history of the Church with communism and the UN, and particularly Madison's concern about the apparent involvement of Jeffery R Holland and David A Bednar with the “10 principles of climate repentance” announced last month at COP27.

    Nathan Tenney is a BYU student with an interesting perspective on free speech and academic freedom. We sit down to discuss where we agree and disagree about what would make the best BYU education.

  • Ep. 12 - A Different "Gay" Perspective with Skyler Sorensen
    May 8 2022

    Skyler (Sky) is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and a recent BYU graduate. He also happens to be gay. If you listened to social media you would think he is supposed to be angry at the university and the Church. That is not the case though. Who you are attracted to is a big part of your life, but it doesn't predestine every single thing about you.

    Sky graciously allowed me to come and sit in his studio and have a conversation with him about politics in the church, LGBTQ issues at BYU, and much more. If you liked what you heard go check out his podcast: The Sit Down with Sky and Preston.

  • Ep. 11 - Progressives vs Doctrine with ATKT Podcast and Tommy Stevenson
    Apr 27 2022

    I sit down with Tommy, my BYU Conservatives co-admin, and chat over zoom with Carson and Catherine, the co-hosts of the Around the Kitchen Table Podcast (ATKT Podcast). We discuss Heavenly Mother, the rationale for the Curch's neutral stance on politics, and much more. Ultimately being faithful requires faith and the practice of the basic "primary answer" principles in the Church. What we so often focus on is the things that are not important.
