Today on the podcast I have Sean Anderson on the podcast to talk about Joe Thompson and the work that he was involved in and his impact on Mormon Fundamentalism. Sean was a first hand witness to many of the events that will be discussed during this conversation. We talk first about who Joe Thompson was, from there we move into looking at his time as a Council Member in the AUB. From that point we take a close look at the allegations that were leveled against him and his subsequent dismissal from the council. The conversation then shifts to his work outside the AUB and others that he worked with during this time and finish it all up by looking at what his impact has been thus far in the Mormon landscape.

There are times we think we understand an event or story, only to find later that perhaps the real story is far more expansive and crucial than was previously understood. This is certainly true for Adam and Eve. Today on the podcast Taylor Smith Joins me as we have a conversation about what the account of Adam, Eve, and the Fall really means to us. We begin by analyzing the different views of Adam and Eve across the spectrum of Christianity. We then move on to discuss the implications of the identities of Adam and Eve and what that means for us. We then take a look at the Fall of Adam and Eve with all of its implications for our first parents and us. As we have this discussion all along the way, what is exposed is how much our first parents truly love their children.

THE TOPIC OF ABUSE COMES UP IN THIS EPISODE & MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR YOUNG CHILDREN.

I am really excited to drop this week's episode for you as I have two people on that have never been on the podcast before. Zack & Mckayla. Zack comes from a fundamentalist background and Mckayla from an LDS background. We start off our conversation by talking about each of their back stories. As they each talk about their respective hardships and trials we find some remarkable determination in them both to hold fast to the Restored Gospel in spite of their challenges. From there we move into the time they met each other and how they navigated their faith differences as they first started talking. The conversation then turns to McKayla's conversion to the Fulness of the Restored Gospel and how she and Zack had to navigate the challenges that accompany making a move from the LDS Church to Mormon Fundamentalism. All along the way during this conversation we explore different principles from the Restored Gospel as those principles applied to Zack & McKayla's story and end the conversation with some powerful testimony from each of them.
