Take a peak into Glenn's mind and see what nuggets you'll find.  Not only is he an excellent podcaster, he is an author and screenwriter as well.  With his new book out "Bathing with god", I thought it would be fun to chat with him and QUAD to see what moral truths I can discover. Quad is...well I don't know what or who quad is.  But he is super insightful and seems to know what you are thinking before you do.  check him out and see for yourself.

Jake Fitisemanu and I take a dive into many interesting subjects ranging from the Covid-19 Crisis, Cultural traditions and practices, The role of women in society (particularly in the samoan culture), Why cultural practices can be a detriment to growth and progress, Homosexuality in religion and whether or not faith is more important than evidence.  Get ready for a fun and engaging conversation about things we're not supposed to talk about.

Listen to how one man discovers a better version of himself outside of religion.  By taking an objective look at the doctrine being taught in his church, he was able to critically think through the tough questions that had always been evaded when brought to the table. Listen to how his decision to leave the church resulted in increased love for his family and improved his relationship with his children when the judgement hat was taken off. If you are a current member of the Mormon Church and have a guarded love affair with your faith, this is the type of episode your church leaders warn about listening to.  However, If you have been looking for answers to some of the toughest questions you've dared not ask in sunday school or family home evening, grab your favorite pillow and blanket, connect to your headphones and get comfortable.  Living a good life is absolutely possible absent of religion.

Get ready to smile and laugh as you experience what it's like to be in Tama's world - where there is never a dull moment.  Listen to how he approaches life without inhibition and chooses to be happy despite knowing the grim consequences spelled out in religious doctrine for homosexuality.  Why does he still choose to subscribe to a religion that promises damnation for him because of his sexual orientation?  I can't wrap my mind around it, but maybe you can.

It's always interesting to learn what goes on in the back of your children's minds when you are experiencing a major paradigm shift.  How are they affected by the choices their parents make, especially when those choices involve leaving a major part of their lives growing up? How do they process these experiences?  How much do our children really depend on god or religion for guidance? Do they experience despair, confusion, anger or betrayal once they've learned that what their parents taught them all their lives was no longer valid?  What you'll hear might surprise you.  Take a behind the scene look at how my decision to discard religion impacted my daughter Teuila.

Find out here.
