In the wake of Elder Holland’s BYU talk, I can’t help but wonder—what would LGBT+ Advocacy “bathed in the light of the gospel” look like?
Recent criticism of Elder Holland’s remarks show us that anyone can be made an enemy, but the tradeoff is a world where the most vulnerable are taught they have very few friends.
Ben sits down with Leo Winegar who left the Church and then came back to discuss informed consent.
The COVID-19 pandemic is a once-in-a-century experience that should be reforming us at the soul level. Is it?
The Elder Holland I have known and loved for decades bears no resemblance to the cruel and unfair characterizations now being made about him. After his lifelong example of charity, he deserves a more generous response.
Ben and his Dad brigade talk about the doctrine of the family, and how to best establish norms without exclusion.
Some who step away from the Church of Jesus Christ insist they’ve been lied to in a grand deception they’re only now recognizing.
