In this episode, we take a different approach. There’s no pre-planned argument. No script. Just an honest, unscripted dive into the most difficult criticisms of the LDS faith, from polygamy and the priesthood ban to the Book of Abraham and the Mountain Meadows Massacre. I asked Tyler to steelman the anti-Mormon position, and I did my best to respond, not as someone with all the answers, but as someone who deeply cares about truth.
This conversation isn’t about blind faith or easy answers. It’s about wrestling with real questions, confronting painful history, and asking what it really means to believe in something, despite the messiness.
We also explore how to raise spiritually grounded, historically informed Saints in an age of information overload and growing skepticism. My hope is that whether you're a lifelong member, a doubter, or somewhere in between, you’ll walk away challenged, maybe uncomfortable, but ultimately more curious and committed to seeking truth.
This one’s not for the faint of heart. But if you’ve ever wondered whether faith can coexist with complexity, this episode is for you.
