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

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

    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.

    Ep. 13 - BYU Hire Hitler? Free Speech in Academia with Nathan Tenney

    Ep. 13 - BYU Hire Hitler? Free Speech in Academia with Nathan Tenney

    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. Among many other angles we discuss, would it have been good for BYU to hire Hitler to increase academic freedom and diversity?

Finally!

Finally members are talking about these subjects! I heard some where that churches are living the MC Hammer era (can’t touch this). We need to address the tough topics!

Genuine and sincere

I was am impressed with this podcast! Especially the episode with Nathan; Luke was open, a good listener, respectful, while still holding strong to his beliefs. Highly recommend.

Surprisingly Good

I’m a libertarian conservative who just graduated from BYU. I gave this podcast a try expecting some cringe BYU perspectives but I was pleasantly surprised. Luke has well thought out opinions I haven’t heard before. I love how he integrates the LDS perspective in his critiques to leftism. He is very fair to opposing views and you can tell he is making arguments in good faith. Definitely worth a listen, especially if you are upset about the cultural changes happening at BYU and the church right now.
