Special episode this week! Let’s talk about Boundaries: How the church and our TBM family and friends cross them and what we can do about it. We’ll introduce the topic then hear from a therapist and a listener about their interactions with the church and boundaries. We’ll jump into some of our survey data and round out the show with some of our own experiences. Finally, a big thank you to Braden for cohosting the podcast! You will be missed and cherished in all our hearts.

We do a brief deep-dive into Book of Mormon archaeology, but probably not a story you’ve heard before. Thomas Stuart Ferguson was hired by BYU and the Mormon church to study Mesoamerica for ties to ancient Book of Mormon cities and artifacts. His findings will SHOCK you! Then we dive into the next installment of The Naked Communist with more background on post WWII history and the rise of fear and loathing of Communism in America. Finally we wrap with a feel-good story about a remote village in Canada supplementing their reliance on fossil fuels with tons of solar power!
