    Sex Abuse On CES Campuses

    How are church-sponsored schools doing on sexual assault? Jacob Mayberry joins me to look at the data, ask what the limitations of the data are, and what lessons we can learn. Disclaimer: This episode deals with difficult topics. While we feel it is an important conversation to have, it may not be suitable for some ears. #churchschools #byu #civility #discussion

    General Conference Recap: Civility

    General conference is one of my favorite things in life, and this time was particularly important to me. Messages about Jesus, faith, Easter, and holy week, but this time a further message about how the disciple of Christ has an obligation to be a peacemaker. I loved it. Not just civility, something deeper: the call to peacemaking. I suspect we'll talk more about it in coming episodes, so for now, a highlights reel.

    Latter-day Saints and White Christian Nationalism

    I sit down with Carl Cranney and Christopher Cunningham to talk about white christian nationalism, which is making the rounds in the news. We discuss what the Latter-day Saint response should be to the phenomenon, and how we're really doing on things. We also talk about two recent articles, one by Christopher in Public Square Magazine, and another by Dr. Taylor Petrey in The Salt Lake Tribune.

    Black Mirror: Hated in the Nation #deathtosocialmedia

    "I sit down with Carl Cranney and Liz Busby from Pop Culture on the Apricot Tree in this (ambitious!) crossover episode to discuss an episode of Netflix's dystopian technology show Black Mirror.  We had a blast talking through the Black Mirror episode "Hated in the Nation." The discussion focuses on social media, and how it  encourages bad behavior. We also talk about how we can resist the pull of cruelty and the "epistemology of hell" that drives the attention economy."

    On the Recent AP Report: Interview with CD Cunningham

    Content Warning: This episode discusses sexual abuse. I sit down with my friend, CD Cunningham to discuss his recent article regarding the associated press article about a case of abuse. We talk about the options for policies and the pros and cons of each option. It seems too often people rush, with their heart in the right place, to conclusions. When it comes to something so tragic, perhaps taking some time to think allows greater clarity. I learned some things in this episode, and I hope you do, too.
