What is truth? What does it mean to really “know” something? And what are the best methods and tools to come to know a thing? In today's episode of Church History Matters, we begin our new series on Good Thinking where we explore the important role our brain and intellect play in truth seeking and the life of faith. Specifically in this series we want to explore what mental moves are made, or what frameworks of thinking are used by intelligent, critically thinking Latter-day Saints whose faith is strengthened rather than damaged by diving deeply into our Church's history and doctrine. So this should be fun. For show notes and transcript for this and other episodes go to https://doctrineandcovenantscentral.org/church-history-matters-podcast/

Episode discussion topics It has been a while since we discussed the idea of freedom in the United States and this time around we're marrying it up with the pursuit of happiness. We're also going to lean into some Stoic teachings to help guide our discussion. Freedom is the ability to use one's own agency to affect change in their life. Whether that be to change one's class, profession, companions, or one's own mind. This embodies the freedom to pursue happiness. Government acts as the civilian interface between individuals and groups. It mediates the boundaries where our lives intersect. The law is there to bring those conflicts to a conclusion and deconflict our freedom to pursue happiness. Together, they should keep others from treading too heavily on our pursuit of happiness and keep us from trespassing on others. Now, how best to choose a life for one's self? How shall we make ourselves accountable for pursuing happiness? There is nothing in school or church that truly prepares one to live a fulfilling purpose-driven life. That one is on us to figure out through self-reflection to achieve greater self-awareness. Calls to Action: We all have a limited time here on Earth, try not to spend too much of it angry, fearful, or wanting. Look for any reason to be grateful. Focus your energy on what is in your control, not outside of it. Learn more about fulfilling your purpose, something you feel compelled to create, which is all part of the pursuit of happiness. Explore it, grow it, and share it with others for community's sake. It is up to each of us to find our path in life and seek fulfillment through growth and community building. If we are not building community as we move through our careers and lives, our purpose seems aimless. We will fall short in using our freedom to pursue happiness. Learn more about the history of the United States and philosophy, in general, to get grounded in something closer to fact than fiction. Philosophy, we have a special reverence for Stoicism, teaches us how to think well and develop an ever-growing awareness of things. Learn something new often. The truth is documented, that was done before our time or the time of the internet. Books, magazines, documentaries, podcasts, and online course lectures are good too.

“There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” So says William Shakespeare via the lips of Hamlet. (Act II, Scene 2. Whether you believe this absolutely or partially, it begs the question, “What's good thinking?” Or, “What's the kind of thinking that makes us see each experience as good?” One pattern of thought that's really helped me recently is a tweak on the gratitude-attitude that we so often speak of in our blogs and comments. Specifically, it is asking myself, “What's working?” When Life is tough, it can feel like nothing's working. But this is rarely, if ever, the truth. I've got a few issues at the moment that I can't think how to fix – they are ‘not working' but they are a tiny part of a massive portion of my life that is working. Thus, I ask you directly, what's working in your Life at the moment? The answers to this question may surprise you in the little things that come to mind, almost in the same breath as the big things. As far as big things go, Penny and I really enjoy one another's company, and the little kindnesses we find to do for one another and say to one another. There are so many tokens of thoughtfulness that say, “You matter to me.” She is very good at reminding me (when I feel overwhelmed) that, “Remember, I love you.” Those four words (and their many loving and creative variants) are a foundation for a Life that can weather many storms. But what of the small matters that are working – a list I've shared here many times. It would be therapeutic for you to mirror this pattern of thinking for yourself. What small things are working well in your life? Immediately springing to mind is the first new bloom of a magnificent orchid we have. I think of the perfect blend of coffee we've found and settled upon as ‘our brand'. There's the shower in our well-lit bathroom. The goats' milk soap that is 'my favourite'. I know what wine works for me. I love my ‘commute' to work – such a beautiful journey. The autumn leaves changing day to day. My friends who thrive at our coffee morning each Friday. My radio show and the station manager who makes working there such a pleasure. Finding, “Now and Then,” by the Carpenters in a charity shop (5 CDs for a £1!) The list goes on and on making me smile. I wonder if you would do me a favour today and pause for thought. Ask your wonderful mind, “What's working for us at the moment?” and then sit back and enjoy the answers… This is good thinking
“There is nothing good or bad, but thinking makes it so.” Pursuing the kind of thinking that may make something (like the day ahead) good, my second thought is to borrow someone else's thoughts. When we see any focus from someone else's perspective, new possibilities emerge as we follow them to think down a different path. This is one of the many reasons I love the “Thought for the day” that Caroline manages to find to enrich each blog. Suddenly, we see the topic through a different lens. Here is Friday's once more. Thought for the day: "Tone is often the most important part of a conversation - and listening is so much more important than what you say." Hoda Kotb This added beautifully to Leah's blog on Content and Tone. Leah asked about whether our mood affected how we listened. In a sense, that's a tone of listening – which I'd never thought about. We have tone of voice – but maybe we can have a tone of listening too. If it's a critical tone, do we then find fault with everything said no matter the other person's intent? I suggest that you want a new insight on any topic, theme, or focus – ask Auntie Google or Sister Alexa for a quote on the thought. You can almost guarantee that some wise person has invested the output of hours of many grey cells on thrashing through the different angles. This is one of several ways I get out of being stuck in my own thoughts – borrow someone else's! Putting it to the test, I've just typed, “quote on anger” into Google. A series of images with quotes came up. The first that caught my eye was from Ralph Waldo Emerson. He said, “For every minute you remain angry, you give up sixty seconds of peace of mind.” Nice. Another way to borrow someone else's thoughts is to use your imagination and ask, “What would (name the person) think?” I wasted a few years bemoaning the thought that there were no more heroes anymore. Then, I changed my mind, and realised heroes are all around me. My Nan, my partner, and my piano teacher are three immediate examples. My Nan's heroic power was calm patience. She would have agreed with Thomas Jefferson's assertion: “When angry count to ten before you speak; if very angry, count to one hundred!” My partner's heroic power is thoughtful kindness. On an almost daily basis she is thinking of something someone else would like – looking at the opportunity empathetically through their eyes. My piano teacher's heroic power is joy. She radiates joy. And the more I get to know her, I now realise she still radiates joy when Life is not so kind. Thus, if I were to ask myself, “What would D say about this?” the answer would always have a good dollop of joy mixed with it! Who are the heroes through whose eyes you could look at your situation? What is their heroic power? What's the quote that changes your mind?

Science has gone under attack and many silly or harmful ideas have taken hold in society under the guise of "science." The thing is, there's a lot more to science than just claiming something to be scientific. In this episode, you'll hear all about what it means to follow the scientific method, what it means to be scientific, and what to do about those who erroneously claim science. Dr. Grimes earned his PhD in ultraviolet radiation physics followed by a post doctoral fellowship in medical physics and oncology but now largely operates as a science communicator. He is the author of the book "Good Thinking - why flawed logic puts us all at risk and how critical thinking can save the world." He is also often seen as a panelist and contributor on news stations such as BBC world news, CBS, CNN, and also in written mediums such as the New York Times, Guardian, and Washington Post among others. Dr. Grimes' Social Media: Instagram Twitter Link Show Outline How did you go from being a cancer researcher to broad science communicator? Tell us a little bit about why you are so passionate about what you do? What does preventive medicine mean to you? Can you talk about the history of the scientific method and why “scientific” people would believe in things like the 4 humors of the body or leeches? How did we go from there to where we are now? What does it mean to follow the scientific method? Why do even prolific scientists like Dr. Linus Pauling who you write about in your book, fall into certain dogmas Misinformation seems to condense into a very vocal minority that has outsized effects on public discourse - can you speak to why this seemingly always ends up being the case? What do we do about misinformation? It seems exhausting to be constantly combatting it and relies on the “good” scientists to work 10x as hard. How can science literacy be increased - for those in applied science (doctors etc.), and the lay person? How do you find good information? How do you sift through the garbage?

I'm super excited to be sharing the very first interview on this podcast! Brett Banford is a scientist who realized he had questions about his faith that he couldn't get answers to; so he started studying. He shares what he's learned on social media - instagram primarily - and I think you're really going to enjoy this conversation. The questions we cover are: - What is apologetics? - How did you get started in studying apologetics? - How does learning good thinking (logical fallacies, cognitive biases, etc) correlate with apologetics? - Why is it important to think well about your faith & about the things we are bombarded with from media, culture, etc.? - What should we do with our difficult questions? - Where could someone begin if they are interested in starting to learn apologetics? You can find Brett on Instagram @radapologetics, and online at www.radapologetics.com.
