In a Salt Lake Tribune opinion piece, author and scholar Taylor Petrey says that the Family Proclamation is just "commentary." That it is just describing the times in which it was written.

But both President Oaks and Elder Rasband stated strongly that the Proclamation to the World is "doctrine" and "revelatory." This is a perfect example of "Athens vs Jerusalem." So many now want to rid ourselves of the Proclamation or diminish its...

This episode is a little off-brand for me, but I'm not going to put up with this any longer. Pastor Mark Driscoll has taken the tragedy in Michigan as an opportunity to bash Mormons. Despite the online outcry, Driscoll has doubled down and produced an anti-Mormon eBook, "Are Mormons Christian?"

Driscoll specifically states that Mormons do not believe the Creeds and therefore are not Christians.

Of course, Latter-day Saints do not a...

Film producer Celene Anderson joins Greg to discuss her deep dive research into plural marriage required by a recent film she produced, The Angel. This is not a polygamy advocacy piece; it’s an honest, nuanced look at history, women’s voices, Doctrine and Covenants Section 132, and why early Saints believed and lived this practice. We tackle common distortions, the difference between eternal and temporal principles, connections to ...

Greg and Trevan Hatch, professor of religion at BYU, discuss what makes an Official Position and doctrine of the church. It gets a little dicey. What is the supreme word on the word?

I know someone who worked close with Charlie Kirk for many years. He was there, five feet from Charlie when he was shot at UVU. I put up a tweet, then pulled it down. We need to stop creating political silos. It's ok to pursue truth, but even truth needs checks, to verify its veracity.

Tyler Anderson shares his research and observations on family members leaving the church. The dynamics have changed over the years. We need to understand that, usually, underlying it all is a different worldview, not just a disagreement.

Our culture still says it's ok to take a bigoted approach to Latter-day Saints I have been saying this since 2024. There is a reason that most of the ExMo influencers mentioned in the Wall Street Journal article are women. This article helps support what I have been saying. This will blow over and will be a strength.

Rachael Patterson from the YouTube Channel, Women and the Priesthood, joins Greg to talk about why young women in the US are leaving the church in high numbers. What are the causes? Does feminism play a role? How does this square with the Family Proclamation? How do Latter-day Saint women navigate the cultural climate with the gospel? And, what about the priest...

Hannah Stoddard joins Greg to talk about the Family Proclamation and the Order of the Family. We discuss what the Family Proclamation says about gender roles in our modern world, the Patriarchal Order, the disintegration of the family and civilization, and the path to follow Christ and the Plan of Salvation.

Interestingly, this was recorded just an hour after Greg posted the first FAIR Q&A video.

Why is marriage disappearing in America? Brian Willoughby, an Associate Professor at BYU, breaks down the cultural, economic, and digital forces driving the decline of marriage and dating, from rising anxiety and delayed commitments to AI “companions” replacing real relationships. Despite overwhelming research showing that marriage boosts happiness, health, and stability, younger generations increasingly see it as a burden instead ...

- I had a very positive call with Aaron Sherinian a couple of days ago. 

- There was already a tinderbox set before this Q&A match was lit.

- It is not good to bury our heads in the sand on what is happening to the family.

People have valid reasons for being concerned. Aaron Sherininian is a good man. Both can be true at the same time. We need to distinguish between the person and the issue.

Cardon Ellis from Ward Radio joins me on my first joint "walk." We stepped out from the FAIR conference (a great conference and organization) for a few minutes to discuss the Q&A with Church Comms Director, Aaron Sherinian.

We talk about some of the ridiculous statements from LDX (online community), discernment between an act and the person, and the background that led to so many people asking the question on his stance on The Fami...

As the world moves away from family, it would be nice if the Church were a beacon of light on a hill.

For transparency, here is the transcript from the question given to the Comms Director:

"When you first came on board the Church, there was a lot of online flak, should we say, and people even-- I've gotten a few questions here-- asking directly whether or not you support the Family Proclamation? And how was that for you when you f...
