Whatever your position on LDS Studies, it can't be said that the Mormonism is boring. Socially, historically, culturally, politically and theologically its a gold mine of intrigue and interest. Nevermore so than on the topic of sex. Taylor G. Petrey’s history of sexuality and gender in modern Mormonism is a rollicking and delightfully thorough documentation of the LDS modern teachings on gender, sexual difference, and marriage. He joins me at ATF podcast to discuss his latest book, 'Tabernacles of Clay.' |

When Mormon divorce happens acrimoniously it's never a better time to observe the LDS church's position on the wellbeing of women and children.
The wife of a physician and the mother of four children Leslie felt that she was fulfilling 'the measure of her creation' until she found herself fleeing from abuse. However, the involvement of church leaders, that Mormon divorce often requires, complicated financial, legal, relationship and spiritual matters again and again. Les Butterfield joins me to discuss the pastoral care (or the inadequacy of it) when her own marriage was in free fall.

Cat McFedries joins me to talk about youth spiritual and religious formation and how some radical pastoring that she received as a young person might have put her off the church, but it didn't put her off the person of Jesus. |
