4.6 Critical reading and the Divine Feminine
Reading scientific papers requires a critical mindset, but often ‘critical’ has a negative connotation. How can we apply critical reading to scriptures and conference addresses? This is especially relevant in the context of recent conference addresses and discourse in the Mormon community on Heavenly Mother (see especially Dialogue’s spring issue, “Heavenly Mother in Critical Context”).

4.5 Universalism and Heresy
Dr. Eugene England and Elder Bruce R. McConkie really didn’t agree on many points regarding the nature of God and the destiny of souls. For today’s show, we highly recommend Rebecca England’s essay linked in the show notes! We cover it briefly but it’s worth your time!

4.2 In our lovely alphabet
Brigham Young loved the Deseret alphabet, and so do we. It’s so cool looking and old and kinda weird. It’s perfect Mormon history and it’s forever enshrined in Unicode. Let’s take a look!

Customer Reviews
Good audio
I enjoy it. Thank you.
Like it's produced by a 10 year old.
This podcast is so frustrating to listen to. Although the content was interesting half of it was worthless as I couldn't hear it. I had my volume maxed out and could barely hear the guy in the back once I kinda got accustomed to hearing him the main guy would come back on or laugh and kill my ear drums. To be fair I only listened to one episode. But it was one of the recent ones, you'd think they'd have figured crap like this out long ago.
