Critical, accusatory, but lightened with occasional irreverent humor, MormonTalk is a journey with Mike, Dave, and Mitch as they explore issues with the truth claims of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (aka, the Mormon church). As former Mormons who indulged in apologetics at times, the podcast hosts get personal as they address the struggle members of the Church face when they attempt to deal with some of the initially-attractive, sometimes-shocking, ever-evolving truth claims of the religion. Not intended for active adherents to the faith, MormonTalk is aimed at people ranging from those who've already left, to those who are in the process of leaving, to those who have just begun questioning. If nothing else, it is "an exploration for those who question".
