Today on the show, Brandt and Jenny talk first with Thomas Wayment, BYU professor and author of the amazing The New Testament: A New Translation about alternative translations of the Bible and the value for Latter-day Saints. We do some quick hits on some random stories (Pres. Nelson's trip to Arizona, the LDS Chuch and Utah politics, and more). If you want the big news, check out Part 2 where Jenny and Brandt spent almost an hour discussing the implications of the change to the missionary program allowing missionaries to call and text home on P-days.
