Ben Petersen and Shiloh Logan are back from their time podcasting together for LDS Liberty, and they’re excited to start talking about Come, Follow Me every week.
Ben Petersen and Shiloh Logan’s long friendship has coalesced around a deeply shared love of the restored gospel of Jesus Christ. They’ve spent countless nights together with their families talking about the wonders of hope, love, and peace that come from the gospel of Jesus Christ.
In these podcasts, we are searching for moments to sit with the Divine. As we contemplate each week’s readings, we look for how we can understand and use the Sermon on the Mount and the atonement of Jesus Christ to more fully understand the greater narratives of the scriptures

Did we call each other at the same time?

I think so.
Ben Peterson 0:03
Okay.
Shiloh Logan 0:06
All right.
Ben Peterson 0:07
We are recording.
Shiloh Logan 0:09
Every single podcast I feel like, you know, when every single morning you're like, your first two doors, "Oh my gosh, can I do this? Can I do this? Can I do this?"
Ben Peterson 0:18
Wait! How do I do this? Sure. Yeah, I get it.
Shiloh Logan 0:24
I feel that way every single time we start this, and then once we get rolling, I'm like, okay, keep talking about this. That's awesome.
Ben Peterson 0:31
Yeah. It may take us a few podcasts to get into the swing. I feel like our third and fourth ones with LDS Liberty started getting better. So ...
Shiloh Logan 0:42
Yeah. Yeah, I think so. We've just got to get started and do it.
Ben Peterson 0:48
Okay, so here we go.
Shiloh Logan 1:00
Hello and welcome to Latter Day Peace Studies. I'm Shiloh Logan.
Ben Peterson 1:03
And, I'm Ben Peterson.
Shiloh Logan 1:04
So, Ben, we are ... we're going to do this again. This is a thing. We're going to do this all over again.
Ben Peterson 1:10
Yeah, I'm ready for it. I loved doing it before, and I'm excited for where we're going with it this time.
Shiloh Logan 1:19
Ben and I had been involved in a podcast before with LDS Liberty, where we talked a lot about different scriptures and different principles of the gospel. We decided to shift gears and go a different way. It's been, I don't know, how long has it been? It's been three years. Has it been three years?
Ben Peterson 1:36
Since we recorded our last one?
Shiloh Logan 1:38
Yeah.
Ben Peterson 1:38
That's certainly possible. That would fit the timespan about right, I guess. We kept saying we were going to do more with it. But the timing, and mentality, and other obligations - and then the right topics, and material that fit right in it - didn't quite present themselves to us all at once. So, it didn't quite happen.
Shiloh Logan 2:05
Yeah, it's true. Yeah, we were both called as [early morning] seminary teachers, so that wasn't ... you're in Missouri and I'm in California and so that made for some strange late-night conversations.
