In a Salt Lake Tribune opinion piece, author and scholar Taylor Petrey says that the Family Proclamation is just "commentary." That it is just describing the times in which it was written.

But both President Oaks and Elder Rasband stated strongly that the Proclamation to the World is "doctrine" and "revelatory." This is a perfect example of "Athens vs Jerusalem." So many now want to rid ourselves of the Proclamation or diminish its value into something like "commentary." Why? What is the push?

This episode is a little off-brand for me, but I'm not going to put up with this any longer. Pastor Mark Driscoll has taken the tragedy in Michigan as an opportunity to bash Mormons. Despite the online outcry, Driscoll has doubled down and produced an anti-Mormon eBook, "Are Mormons Christian?"

Driscoll specifically states that Mormons do not believe the Creeds and therefore are not Christians.

Of course, Latter-day Saints do not accept the Creeds and are therefore "Non-Creedal Christians." Greg states that this is the best description of "Mormons" as Christians. And we fully accept it.

Film producer Celene Anderson joins Greg to discuss her deep dive research into plural marriage required by a recent film she produced, The Angel. This is not a polygamy advocacy piece; it's an honest, nuanced look at history, women's voices, Doctrine and Covenants Section 132, and why early Saints believed and lived this practice. We tackle common distortions, the difference between eternal and temporal principles, connections to women's rights in early Utah, and how to talk about a topic that makes many believers uneasy—boldly, thoughtfully, and in defense of the faith.

I know someone who worked close with Charlie Kirk for many years. He was there, five feet from Charlie when he was shot at UVU. I put up a tweet, then pulled it down. We need to stop creating political silos. It's ok to pursue truth, but even truth needs checks, to verify its veracity.

Tyler Anderson shares his research and observations on family members leaving the church. The dynamics have changed over the years. We need to understand that, usually, underlying it all is a different worldview, not just a disagreement.
