In this episode, the hosts discuss questions about prophetic fallibility. It is acknowledged early on that prophets are fallible but the big question is -- At what point is a prophet "too" infallible to no longer be rendered a prophet of God? The hosts discuss the nuance and also discuss why they choose to stay in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints

We recently asked our audience on Instagram for questions they had about being a male in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this episode, Brett, Wilson, and David respond to the audience-submitted questions!

Today we explore a well-debated question: Can scriptures be allegory and still hold truth? We explore different perspectives on religious texts, examining the balance between literal interpretations and allegorical meanings. We discuss how stories and parables can convey profound truths without being historically factual. While there are lots of thoughts about the Bible, we also talk about whether or not the Book of Mormon relies on literalism. Whether you're a scholar, a believer, or just curious, this conversation promises to challenge and inspire your understanding of spiritual narratives.
