Ian, Jim, and returning guest Greg Prince tackle one of the most urgent and sensitive issues facing the Latter-day Saint community today: faith crisis.

Drawing on new research, personal experience, and candid discussion, the trio explores why so many members step away from the Church—and why common assumptions about sin, offense, or weakness often miss the mark. They examine the real drivers behind disaffiliation, including doctrinal concerns, historical questions, and a growing sense that the Church no longer resonates as it once did.

Ian and Jim explore a “tale of the unexpected” that turns out to be far more universal than dramatic.

Jim shares the story of how he ended up serving a mission—not through a sudden, life-altering conversion, but through a lifetime of quieter spiritual experiences he once felt weren’t “enough.” Along the way, he opens up about growing up as an outsider, navigating identity across different social worlds, and the pressure to make his story more compelling—even to himself.

Through a pivotal moment on his mission, Jim realizes that the story he’s been telling isn’t true—and that the real story, the honest one, is far more meaningful.

In this livestream, Ian and Jim are joined once again by historian and author Greg Prince for a candid, unfiltered conversation on one of the most talked-about developments in the Latter-day Saint world: the Church’s lawsuit against John Dehlin and Mormon Stories.

The conversation also touches on broader themes, including the “Streisand Effect,” the challenges of faith transitions, and the need for open, respectful dialogue—both inside and outside the Church.

In the final segment, the hosts briefly react to newly announced Young Women class names, raising questions about messaging, symbolism, and gender equity in Church programs.

Ian shares one of the most disturbing—and unforgettable—experiences from his mission in Scotland.

What begins as a routine visit with a potential convert quickly turns into something far stranger. A blessing. A voice that isn’t hers. A sudden, violent shift. And a moment that leaves two young missionaries questioning everything they thought they understood about faith, the supernatural, and the human mind.

Jim responds with a story of his own—one that once felt like a clear case of spiritual possession, but now raises deeper questions about mental health, belief, and interpretation.

Ian and Jim are joined once again by historian and author Greg Prince for a candid discussion on one of the most difficult and urgent issues facing the Church today: abuse, accountability, and institutional responsibility.

Framed as “encouragement, not criticism,” Greg shares insights from his proposed roadmap for improving Mormonism—focusing on how the Church can better protect vulnerable individuals and confront systemic shortcomings. The conversation is sparked by recent headlines and expands into a broader examination of clergy abuse, legal structures, and the role of Church leadership.

Ian and Jim welcome a longtime friend and Ian's former missionary companion, Byron Casper—the son of legendary golfer Billy Casper. 

Byron shares what it was like growing up in the shadow of one of golf’s greatest champions, rebelling as a teenager, and eventually serving a mission in Scotland despite feeling completely unprepared for it. His story includes everything from PGA Tour life to culture shock in Aberdeen, a fiery missionary companionship with Ian, and a transformative final month serving among the poverty of Glasgow’s Easterhouse. 

Along the way, the conversation is packed with unforgettable stories—mission legends, clashes of personality, encounters with witches in Scotland, a surreal moment in a bathroom with golf icon Jack Nicklaus, and Byron’s journey back into the professional golf world after his mission.
