Radical Civility

I get together with some friends to discuss Brad Wilcox's recent comments--and the strong response they received. We talk about intent and circumstances, but also the reason the comments were hard for so many.

Note: we tried to get this right. I guarantee we didn't manage perfectly. A group of thoughtful people talking it out helped me though. There were some really good moments and insights, and if nothing else, I think we modeled what it looks like to grapple with something hard in as faithful a way as possible. That sounds me as worth doing.

I sit down with a couple great friends to dive into our favorite talks, lessons, and miracles from General Conference!  It was a great time of personal reflection, and the presence of the Spirit taught all of us.

I'm excited about this interview, friends. I sit down with Marian Edmonds-Allen to discuss her recent article about "covenantal pluralism" which she believes (as I now do too) can heal many of the divides in our country, including and especially the LGBTQ+ and faith divide. We talk about her history and background, how religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights can bolster each other rather than threaten each other, and about what covenental pluralism is.

Not only did I learn from her, I also now count her a fast friend. I think you'll enjoy the interview.

I sit down with Greg Matsen of the Cwic show to talk about Elder Holland's recent BYU address. We cover politics, critical race theory, religion, and my own personal rants about good teaching and tenure policy. It was fun to agree--and disagree-with someone thoughtful.
