82 - Mormon White Supremacy - Part 2 (feat. Dr. Mica McGriggs) Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

This is the second half of our discussion with Dr. Mica McGriggs about Mormon history and white supremacy — the ban on ordaining Black men to the Mormon priesthood or allowing Black Mormons into Mormon temples finally gets repealed!

Grab a seat and join us as we continue explore: - What led to the priesthood ban being lifted? - Did the LDS Church ever apologize? - What is our responsibility, now?

There's plenty of homework after the discussion is over, and we encourage you to lean into it.

81 - Mormon White Supremacy - Part 1 (feat. Dr. Mica McGriggs) Jul 12, 2020

Show notes

This week we invite Dr. Mica McGriggs to help us teach Lauren about the roots of white supremacy in Mormon history and culture — specifically, the ban on ordaining Black men to the Mormon priesthood, or allowing Black Mormons into their temples.

Pull up a chair and join us as we explore: - The doctrine and scriptural "basis" for the ban - Whether it started with Joseph Smith or Brigham Young - Did Mormons believe in slavery?

We also invite you to investigate further on your own as you await the release of part 2 next week.

We'll be back soon! Jun 11, 2020

Show notes

We're taking a brief pause in releasing our own content in order to redirect our attention towards listening to and participating in the Black Lives Matter movement.

We will return soon with episodes, and we are going to prioritize some overdue (and especially relevant) topics.

So stay safe, stay hydrated, stay tuned, and stay in this uncomfortable conversation in our country and in ourselves.

77 - Honor Code Bullshit Mar 16, 2020

Show notes

CW: Mental Health, Suicide, LGBTQ discrimination

A few weeks ago Brigham Young University removed the portions of its Honor Code that prohibited Same-Sex dating and relationships. A few weeks later they put it back.

In this episode we'll explain why it matters, and why those most affected by these policies aren't always in a position to leave.
