So think you for reintegrating me and giving me more options to view things in expanding my mind which had secede being expanded at church. Thank you.
Thank you for your kind words.

This interview was done by John Lynch a member of FairMormon’s board and a dear friend. I try to look back on my journey and take another stab at defining trials of faith and what helps and what doesn’t.
Thanks for listening

DB – Thank you for all of your service to us. I was just reading about Liahona’s project the other day. I was processing Liahona’s needs with Joseph Smith’s comment in Teachings of Joseph Smith, regarding tithing. Quote:…of all that He shall give unto us, we will give a tenth
to be bestowed upon the poor in His church, or as He shall command;and that we will be faithful over that which he has entrusted to our care.pg.70
I am looking forward to listening to the podcast and hoping to gain some peace over their needs and my ability to assist. Thanks.

I had been wondering for some time if this story should be shared or not but felt their are principles in my experience that might help each of us better handle the conflict that comes between those whose faith is complex and nuanced and those whose faith is more simplified. Both sides think the other is off base and yet perhaps if we are humble there is something to be learned.
I would really love feedback on this episode and hope you might email me at

Matt is a apologist and speaker with Catholic Answers, one of the largest lay-run apostolates of Catholic apologetics and evangelization in North America. We discuss with Matt similarities between LDS and catholic Apologetics, Pope Francis, Matt’s Conversion to Christ, and lastly we speak to differences between Catholic and LDS Doctrine and beliefs

It was very touching. Moving on the straight and narrow path can be very lonely, especially if you’re a member of the church that is no longer at Stage 3. Thank You so much for the feedback 
[img]http://www.geekalerts.com/u/Guilt-Trip-Notepad.jpg [/img] http://mormondiscussion.podbean.comhttp://mormondiscussion.podbean.com” class=”bbcode_url”> This episode explores why the Gospel and Church seem to guilt trip us at times. Why do we always feel like we are falling short when in reality we are making progress and heading in the right direction.
Sounds like a great topic. It is actually a really short episode and I simply make one insight and then play a talk from Elder Maxwell. 2 Things

http://mormonchallenges.org/ #2 – I need some help. Thank to those of you who listen and/or support the podcast. I want the podcast to continue to grow. I am hopeful you do as well. Here are some needs we have in order to do that. I am hopeful that someone out there can help or knows someone who can help.
A.) It would be very helpful to have the podcast designated as a 501 C3 tax exempt entity. If any of the listeners are a lawyer or can help in some way to move this along would be greatly appreciated.
B.) I need a better designed website. (The look has changed slightly and I would love feedback in the meantime) Podbean has a very limited designing capability and also I am very limited in regards to financial viability through the site. If anyone is capable or knows someone who can create a top notch website for the podcast, let me know
C.) I am looking for advertisers. I am grateful for “Costa Rica Travel Pass” and “77 Days of September” but am hoping to increase the financial viability of the podcast so that more time and energy can be dedicated to improving it. Whether a link on the site, an ad in the episodes or some other creative way. Please if anyone is interested, let me know.
D.) I have begun creating a fundraising project for the podcast on KICKSTARTER. If any of you could take a look and let me know what you think.
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1715601630/938561842?token=21307834 E.) Lastly, this podcast takes a lot of work and improvement unfortunately costs money, to reach people costs money, and while I am not in this for the money, I struggle to see how this podcast can continue more than a year or two more if I can’t redesign the dynamics of how it runs. Any thoughts would be welcome and helpful, any suggestions at all are appreciated.
