    Disappointed in God and/or Us? (Kurt Francom 3 of 4)

    Holy Ghost in Unclean Temples? (Kurt Francom 2 of 4)

    Holy Ghost in Unclean Temples? (Kurt Francom 2 of 4)

    In LDS Culture, we are constantly told to keep ourselves pure so that the Holy Ghost can dwell within us, that somehow sin separates us from the Holy Spirit. But there are cases where the Holy Ghost ministered to clearly sinful people. How do we explain that? Does God dwell in unholy temples? Kurt Francom will tackle that question. Check out our conversation...

Legend

Rick Bennett is very knowledgeable on a wide verity of topics that touch Mormonism. He brings together all branches of the restoration including post/ex Mormons. He makes friends with everybody. He is very curious and tries to learn something new from every guest, even if he is more knowledgeable than the guest.

Insightful interviews for those seeking more than the canned answers

Rick Bennett does an amazing job asking insightful questions of people from many different educational and spiritual backgrounds. If you're looking for additional resources on your spiritual path at a university level you will find him asking hard questions with honesty and integrity of scholars of the LDS faith, others who have roots in the LDS faith, some Christian theologians not of our faith, and from time to time some leaders of the church. This podcast has been a Godsend for many in an era where there are voices of confusion everywhere; this podcast helps bring clarity to topics in a forum where axes to grind become apparent through the long form interview discussion format. Highly recommend it!

Love Gospel Tangents!

This is the Mormon podcast you’re looking for. Rick’s respectful interviews of historians and leaders of all flavors of Mormonism are simply fantastic! It’s worth the minimal cost to support the podcast and get the bonus episodes.
