Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile John Hamer stops by again to talk about the Historical Jesus with Glenn, Allison, and Bob. Of course we talk about other stuff, too, like belief, and Bob’s endless fascination with Hamer’s “you-say-you’re-a-Christian-Pastor-but-you-don’t-sound-like-a-Christian-Pastor what can I do with this lamb in lamb’s clothing” thing. And oh yeah, we talk about Christma...

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile What would happen to the plan of salvation if the Devil just decided to up and quit?  Jake doesn’t think that anyone in the super VIP Heavenly family would be all too happy about that.  Don’t ask us how we got a hold of this audio, just pray about it and know — it’s the real freaking deal.

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Glenn shares one of the last talks he gave in Sacrament meeting.  And then rips it to shreds, self-smackdown-styles.

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Randy, Alison, Glenn, and John Hamer join Mike Bohn to discuss his Listener Essay – The Problem Makers.

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Glenn, Bob, Matt, and Scott speculate on the speculating speculators.  Yesterday (Dec 2, 2014) John Dehlin publicly speculated why Kate Kelly was excommunicated and why he has not been… yet.  A little later, Kate responded with some speculation of her own.  It made us think.  We found it interesting.  We decided to talk about it.  Smackdown-style. John Dehl...

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Part 2 of the discussion is here.

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Chelsea joins Matt, Tom, Bob, and Glenn to discuss Feminism.  Or, more accurately, to discuss how to discuss Feminism with Feminists.  Or, even more accurately, to discuss how NOT to discuss Feminism with Feminists.  Buckle up.

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Scott, Randy, Matt, Bob and Alison review the smash hit “Meet the Mormons,” the Box Office Phenomenon that sent gentile-America scrambling to the baptismal fonts.  In frenzied.  Ecstatic.  Droves.  Cuz you know… at an impressive run-time of 78 min, it was just that good. And this IoT review is clearly TWICE as good.  Cuz, you know, at an even more impressiv...

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Alison asks a very simple question in a very creative way: “What is the difference between the advice given in LDS General Conference vs. the fortune-cookie wisdom found in Chicken Soup for the Soul?” (and possibly the follow-up question: “What exactly does nonsense sound like?”) Glenn, Bob, and Randy chip in a bit with the nonsense.

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Brian Dalton (aka “Mr. Deity”) joins Randy, Jake, Scott, and Bob to discuss his newest The Way of the Mister video: The Mormon Testimon y (spoiler alert: they are kinda sorta unreliable) and a bunch of other fascinating stuff, too.  Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hYizpmXMptg

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile No really.  This is the actual King Follett Discourse.  We actually, truly, beyond-a-shadow-of-a-doubt travelled back in time to record it.  (Yeah, deified Infants can travel through time.  Duh!  Where do you think we got our cool hover boards?)

Glenn Ostlund's Psychology Today Profile Randy, Jake, and Glenn talk about truth-seeking brains, empiricism, naturalism, and the true origin of Arizona’s saguaro cactus.  Sort of.
