Dean Hughes: Digging Into Polygamy and Other "Muddy" Issues


Listen Later

When Dean Hughes began writing his latest book, he didn't plan on writing about polygamy but the topic became impossible to ignore. At times, there are things (both past and present) that may affect our beliefs and be impossible to ignore. Dean describes these things as "muddy," but explains that there are faithful ways to approach seemingly messy aspects of our faith or our Church's history. 

"There's never a time when the questions end but if you've had certain experiences in your life that verify your faith, then you rely on those."
