Richie, Kurt Francom (from Leading Saints), and Verlin the News Wizard are back in the Cultural Hall to hash out the latest happenings inside and outside the Church.

Mormon Wedding Culture: Richie shares his latest weekend gig stories. We're talking soda bars, insulin shots in the parking lot, and the inexplicable LDS tradition of guys tying their neckties around their heads on the dance floor. Chapel Redesigns: Is the sacrament table moving to the center of the chapel? Plus, a frank discussion on why you won’t find paintings of Jesus inside the actual chapel walls. Salt Lake Temple Volunteers: Want to help out with the Salt Lake Temple grand reopening? The guys talk about the new week-long service shifts available for the big event.

In this “Articles of News” episode, Richie and Verlin (our resident News Wizard) are tackling a packed listener inbox, playing a pretty wild Old Testament version of Smooch, Marry, Kill, and breaking down all the biggest stories happening around the Church right now. Banter & The Listener Inbox Verlin is joining us straight from the 1994-era Durham, North Carolina stake office—getting ready for some weekend ward cleaning and a massive “pig pickin'” (smoked pork and banana pudding, anyone?). Meanwhile, Richie recaps a high-energy DJ gig for the Nightingale nursing group and calls out listener Jack Marinello to step up his game in the Facebook comments. Plus, we dive into a great email from Chris about navigating the “Moco” (Mormon Corridor) and the tricky balance of separating actual gospel principles from institutional church culture. Global Church Leadership & Events Happy 94th Birthday to President Oaks! We chat about his first international trip as the 18th President of the Church to dedicate the Belo Horizonte, Brazil temple. We also touch on Elder Patrick Kearon’s powerful message at Education Week to a crowd of 15,000, where he urged everyone to “stop earning their worth.” Also on the docket: Elder Rasband’s MTC address on the current global missionary surge, Elder Villar championing religious freedom down in Peru, and the Institute centennial broadcast out of Johannesburg. Policy, BYU & Institute Updates What do you guys think about the new, 25-minute-shorter Sunday block schedule? We cover that, along with the digital release of 10 joyful new hymns and the new ward-level event RSVP feature rolling out on the app. Over in Provo, Education Week just wrapped up with 16,000 attendees focusing on Charity, and the new BYU School of Medicine announced an upcoming “Christ-Centered Physician” conference. Plus, Seminary and Institute enrollment has officially topped 1 million globally, thanks in large part to the “Invite a Friend” initiative. Culture & Retention Trends We dig into some shifting demographics today, specifically a BYU Studies report on the sharp decline in church retention among Gen Z women. We discuss the commentary pointing to politics, purity culture, and feelings of powerlessness as driving factors. We also look at some interesting Gallup data comparing lower European church participation to the high devotion metrics seen in Africa, Asia, and Oceania. Finally, we share a laugh over a story about a YSA who shaved her head just to deter unwanted dates, and we discuss the viral Friend magazine article asking, “Are there any girl bishops?” Question of the Week: We want to hear from you! What was your biggest takeaway from Elder Kearon’s message about slowing down and no longer trying to “earn your worth”?

On this episode of the Cultural Hall, we're having a long-overdue conversation about something that affects so many families but doesn’t get talked about enough: returning home early from a mission. We sat down with Jon Larsen and his daughter Brooklyn to get real about their family’s journey through this exact experience. Brooklyn opens up about getting called to the Argentina Rosario Mission, the brutally exhausting travel to the Mexico City MTC, and how running on practically zero sleep quickly spiraled into severe anxiety and OCD. Jon brings a really valuable perspective, not just as a dad trying to support his daughter from thousands of miles away, but also as a mental health professional with 25 years of experience. He talks about the helplessness parents feel and the tricky balance of knowing when a missionary is just facing standard growth struggles versus when they are in a genuine mental or physical crisis. We get into the weeds of the cultural stigma surrounding early returns, how isolating and overwhelming it can feel when you first step off that plane alone, and what members can do to actually help instead of just ignoring the situation. Jon and Brooklyn also share the awesome new resource they’ve built together called Returning Stronger, which offers peer mentoring, coaching, and a six-week course designed to help missionaries and their families transition back to normal life. You can find more info and check out their resources at returningstronger.com. The post Returning Stronger – Brooklyn and Jon Larsen – 1060 appeared first on The Cultural Hall Podcast.
It’s time for another episode of The Cultural Hall! This week, we’re sitting down with Chad Nielsen. Trent over at Kofford Books pitched him to us as a “true Renaissance man,” and honestly, the shoe fits. By day, Chad works at a biotech research company in Salt Lake, but his real passion is geeking out over Latter-day Saint history. We’re talking about his new book, A Barn Full of Angels, a project that was 13 years in the making. It's a deep dive into the life of his ancestor, Zerah Pulsipher. Even if you don’t immediately recognize the name, you know his impact: Zera is the guy who chopped through river ice in New York in the dead of winter to baptize Wilford Woodruff. Chad walks us through Zerah’s wild life, from his time leading the Kirtland Camp to trying to run a cattle operation out in the harsh, unpredictable terrain of Southern Utah’s Shoal Creek. We also don’t shy away from the messy stuff—we get into Zerah's ecclesiastical trial with Brigham Young over an unauthorized plural marriage that ultimately led to his release from the First Quorum of the Seventy.

Having Carol Lynn Pearson in The Cultural Hall for Episode 229 was one of those experiences that sticks with you long after the microphones are turned off. She is a poet, a playwright, and a pioneer in so many ways. True love means showing up when it’s hardest One of the most moving parts of our conversation was Carol Lynn detailing her 12-year marriage to Gerald Pearson. When he came out to her as gay, they navigated an amicable divorce, but their story didn’t end there. When Gerald contracted AIDS in the early 1980s, Carol Lynn brought him into her home and cared for him until he passed away. She taught me that true, Christlike love isn’t bound by traditional expectations. It’s about recognizing that “the same heart beats in every human breast” and showing up for the people we care about, no matter what. Bet on your own voice Before she was a household name in our culture, she was a young writer whose poetry couldn’t get traction with traditional publishers. Instead of giving up, she and Gerald borrowed $2,000 from a credit union, self-published her first book of poems, and convinced the BYU bookstore to sell it on consignment. It ended up selling hundreds of copies a month. Her story is a powerful reminder that if you feel a calling to create, you shouldn’t wait for a gatekeeper to give you permission. We desperately need the arts to keep our humanity intact Carol Lynn made a beautiful point about the balance between the sciences and the humanities. While we absolutely need the sciences to run the world, she emphasized that the human family desperately needs the arts and creativity to survive emotionally. When we dismiss the arts as “impractical,” we lose the very things that bring stability, empathy, and balance to our heads and our hearts. We have to be brave enough to confront our cultural “ghosts” Her latest book, The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy, tackles an incredibly painful and often ignored subject. Carol Lynn didn’t write it to tear people down; she wrote it because she saw the very real, modern-day pain this lingering doctrine causes women and men today. She taught me that we cannot heal if we refuse to look at the things causing us pain. It takes immense courage to look at a cultural “ghost” and say, “We need to do better.” You can advocate for change without walking away Through all of the friction, the heartbreak, and the difficult conversations she has sparked regarding the LGBTQ+ community and women’s inequality, Carol Lynn has maintained her faith and her place in the community. She didn’t let the pain drive her away. Instead, she chose to use her voice to carve out a safer, more compassionate space for the marginalized people sitting in the pews right next to us.

Episode 13 & 14: Mitch Mayne (The Combined Interview) In this newly combined episode from the archives, we're putting parts 1 and 2 of my interview with Mitch Mayne into one single episode. If you’ve been around the Hall for a while, you know this is the exact interview that completely shifted what The Cultural Hall is all about. Mitch made national headlines when he was called to serve as the executive secretary in his local ward bishopric in San Francisco while living openly as a gay man. We skip the mainstream news soundbites and get into the real, messy, and beautiful human story. We talk about what it actually looks like to navigate Latter-day Saint culture, deep personal faith, and LGBTQ+ identity from inside a local ward. We talk about: The Call to Serve: How his bishop approached him, the internal wrestling Mitch went through before saying yes, and how local leadership supported the decision. Living Authentically: Mitch's personal journey of coming out, deciding not to hide who he is, and finding a way to still give his talents to his faith community. The Ward’s Reaction: What happened in the hallways after he was sustained, and how the “Mo-dar” (Mormon Radar) handles cultural expectations. Changing the Conversation: How we can move past polarized internet arguments and focus on Christ-centered empathy at the local level. The Turning Point for the Show: Why this specific interview opened the doors for us to tackle the nuanced, complicated, and historically quiet topics in the LDS world. Links & Resources: Check out Mitch’s work and advocacy at MitchMayne.com. A quick note from Richie: Pardon our dust on this one! This is from the early days when the podcast was still finding its footing. Thanks for rolling with the early audio quirks and technical growing pains—the message and the conversation are absolutely worth it. Enjoying the throwback episodes? Help us keep the doors open!

This week, I'm not alone in the Chocolate Cake Bytes studio—Verlin from the Cultural Hall podcast joins me for a conversation that's more lively (and maybe less wisecracking) than going solo. We take on a topic that gets thrown around a lot in church settings: is there really a difference between conflict and contention? And are we “of the devil” every time we disagree?Verlin and I go deep into what the scriptures actually say—and what they don't—about the spirit of contention and how sometimes, avoiding conflict isn't as virtuous as we might think. Along the way, we laugh about sibling boxing matches, rebellious chili spice levels, and the perils of answering, “Does this make me look fat?” But the heart of the episode is a practical, gospel-centered look at how facing disagreements with honesty and kindness can help us grow—and how curating our lives and even our social media feeds toward goodness can help us avoid contention, not conflict.If you've ever found yourself tiptoeing around hard conversations, or you're wondering how to handle “porcupines” in your life, this episode is for you. Let's learn how to resolve differences while keeping the sweet spirit the gospel offers.Please share this episode with someone who needs to hear it.

Buy the Book Wakara’s America: A Historical Perspective Max discussed his new book, “Wakara’s America,” which explores the life and significance of Wakara, a prominent Ute leader in the 1840s. He explained that Wakara was known by different names in various regions, reflecting his extensive travels and interactions with diverse communities. Max, a historian of American religion at the University of Nebraska, shared his fascination with Latter-day Saint history and culture, which led him to research Wakara’s role in the American West and his interactions with early Mormons. He highlighted the need to tell Wakara’s story from his perspective, offering a more nuanced understanding of their complex relationship. Wakara: The Forgotten West’s Thief Max discussed Wakara, a Native American figure from the 1840s who was known as the greatest horse thief of the American West. He enslaved thousands of Paiutes and used his knowledge of the West to create maps that were later used by John C. Fremont and the Latter-day Saints. Max highlighted the importance of Wakara’s contributions to the American West, despite his being largely unknown due to his Native American heritage. Richie expressed surprise at learning about Wakara’s actions and the historical context, emphasizing the need to acknowledge and understand such figures’ roles in shaping history. Understanding Historical Narratives Complexity Max and Richie discussed the complexity of historical narratives, emphasizing the importance of a more nuanced understanding of historical figures and events. Max highlighted the need to recognize the implications of one’s own family history and suggested that acknowledging past actions can lead to better future decisions. They agreed to continue their discussion about the interactions between the Latter-day Saints and Native Americans in the Great Basin and Salt Lake Valley in the next segment. Richie also reminded listeners to contact the Cultural Hall with feedback or suggestions for future guests and discussions. Brigham Young’s Utah Journey Myths Max and Richie discussed the complexities of human beings and the challenges of categorizing individuals as purely good or bad. They explored the origins of the Latter-day Saints’ journey to Utah, focusing on Brigham Young’s Vanguard Company and the mythology surrounding their entry into the Salt Lake Valley. Max explained that while the story of Brigham Young declaring the area to be the “right place” is part of the origin myth, there is no concrete evidence to support this claim. They also discussed Brigham Young’s meeting with Jim Bridger, where Bridger warned about the Utes’ presence in the area, leading to a change in the Mormons’ planned route. Wakara and Brigham Young’s Complex Relationship Max discussed the complex relationship between Wakara, a Native American leader, and Brigham Young, the leader of the Mormons. Wakara helped Brigham settle in the Salt Lake Valley and was invited to the first Pioneer Day celebration in 1849. However, Wakara also used the Mormons to displace his rivals, leading to the extermination of the Timpanogos people in 1850. Max explained that Wakara’s slavery practices were different from the chattel slavery in the American South, as they were more about re-establishing bonds of peoplehood and connection to the land. Despite this, Wakara was baptized a Latter-day Saint in 1850 and led his followers into baptism. Wakara’s Mormon Conversion and Alliances Max discussed Wakara, a Native American leader who was baptized and later ordained as a Mormon priest, which the Mormons viewed as a conversion. Richie questioned whether Wakara’s involvement with the Mormons was a strategic move for power or a genuine conversion. Max explained that Wakara’s adoption of Mormonism was more about forming kinship networks and alliances rather than a complete conversion, and he placed his daughters in Mormon households to strengthen these bonds. Max also highlighted that Wakara’s descendants, including some who may not be aware of their Native American heritage, have been identified through DNA and genealogical research. Brigham Young’s Native American Policies Max discussed the historical relationship between Brigham Young and Wakara, a Native American leader who was among the first Native American priesthood holders in Utah in 1851. He explained how Wacara, despite being illiterate, was given a traveling paper by George A. Smith to trade with Mormon settlers, though this was part of a broader context of Native American slavery and indentured servitude in early Utah. Max argued that Brigham Young’s policies led to conflicts with Native Americans, which he referred to as “Brigham’s War,” rather than the traditionally named “Walker War,” and traced Brigham’s ancestry back to participants in the King Philip’s War, highlighting a pattern of settlers taking Native American land and controlling the narrative of their conflicts. Understanding the Walker War Narrative Max discussed the historical narrative surrounding the Walker War, emphasizing how conflicts are often named after Native Americans despite being initiated by settlers. He highlighted Brigham Young’s role in naming the war and the subsequent peace parlay with Walker, which ended with Walker’s death under mysterious circumstances. Max also touched on the broader themes of American expansionism, the mistreatment of Native American remains, and the potential for a more sustainable and balanced relationship with the land. He expressed hope for a return to indigenous ways of understanding and interacting with the environment, citing recent developments around the Great Salt Lake.

My friend Richie Steadman (active LDS, podcaster, DJ, great human) joins us to share some of his story. Richie talks about how life, following his successful mission in Cleveland, took some unexpected turns which included Richie being out of the Church for several years. Richie is open about that and how he navigated not only the mistakes he made but painful church experiences around those mistakes that didn't feel like Jesus. Richie also talks about his many interests and how we found his way to a steady career—a story that is very helpful for younger Latter-day Saints whose career interests may not fit into the nice tidy box of Church culture expectations. Richie also shares the backstory of starting The Cultural Hall Podcast twelve years ago—one of the very first Latter-day Saint themed podcast that is approaching 700 episodes. A podcast that is doing much good in our community. He also talks about his work professionally to help other podcasters get their efforts off the ground. Thank you, my friend Richie, for being on the podcast and all your good work. Podcast Links (feel free to add more): The Cultural Hall Podcast: https://www.theculturalhallpodcast.com/
