A podcast with full purpose of heart

Such a great podcast. It puts words to so many things I love about the gospel. Enlightening, exciting, creative, inspiring, and thoroughly good.

My favorite podcast, but I miss the Abide discussions

I love this podcast. It asks the listener to consider challenging questions. I truly miss the Abide discussions which followed the weekly Come, Follow Me scriptural readings. I’ve tried listening to other podcasts and find there are far too many who seek to entertain and tell jokes rather than provoke meaningful thought and conversation. Please bring back weekly podcasts featuring Kristian Heal.

Too Bad Blair Hodges is Gone

Blair Hodges was one of the best interviewers in the podcast universe. He was always well-prepared, asked pithy questions, and allowed the guest tell his or her story. He never got in the way of the guest, or was preachy. Too bad he’s gone. Dr. Joey Stuart when confined to Come Follow Me topics was fine, but he often found a way to insert his vision of social justice and diversity into the conversation.

The recent podcast with the new host and Stuart on MLK’s Christian views, which were compared to a talk by Elder Uchtdorf, was a vapid discussion on the importance diversity and Christian responsibilities to the global community. This podcast amounted to a call for serving diverse ethnic groups or else our eternal souls will be imperiled.

The points offered are not exactly pearls of wisdom as the US is a very diverse culture and many of us have lived in and served in diverse communities and countries where our particular ethnicity is the minority. Many of us have been serving in these communities for decades. America has changed quite a bit since the 1960s, but Stuart and the new host seem stuck in a time warp.

The Maxwell Institute is another part of the BYU enterprise that appears to have been captured by the social justice warriors and Woke culture. Please bring back Hodges.
