Send us a Positive Review!Series Title:  What does the Family Proclamation Mean to You? [Episode I of II]Welcome to this two-part series where Valerie welcomes returned guest scholar Taylor Petrey to discuss the LDS Church's Family Proclamation to the World as it reaches its 30th anniversary.The heart of the episode centers on Taylor's controversial Salt Lake Tribune opinion piece in September 2025 (linked below) arguing that The Family Proclamation should be understood as commentary rather than revelation or unchanging doctrine. This characterization sparked significant pushback from conservative church members who insisted the document represents eternal, unchanging truth. Taylor and Valerie explore the complex and often inconsistent ways that the LDS Church uses terms like doctrine, revelation, policy, and commentary, noting how these categories shift depending on context and speaker. They discuss how the proclamation itself has been reinterpreted over time and set you up for the second part of their conversation where they dive deeply into the changing interpretations themselves. The Family ProclamationOp Ed by Taylor PetreyTimestamps:00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:11 Discussing the Family Proclamation01:48 Cultural and Political Context04:20 Historical Background of Family Proclamations07:04 The 1995 Proclamation and Its Impact13:21 Opinion Piece and Public Reaction24:43 Controversy and Clarifications27:57 Historical Changes in Church Teachings28:33 Modern Reinterpretations of Doctrine30:42 Balancing Eternal Truths and Continuing Revelation32:58 The Controversy of Words and Authority36:15 Revelation vs. Policy: A Case Study38:10 The Fluidity of Revelation43:45 The Role of Commentary in Church Doctrine48:20 Setting Up for the Next Episode51:36 Final Thoughts and ConclusionSupport the showSupport the show Listen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Access $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Access $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Gift a Scholarship Download Free Resources Visit our Website

  Dr. Susan Madsen joined Holly and Greg to discuss her latest piece for the Salt Lake Tribune, which explores the intersection of religion and sexism and its impact on the medical treatment of women. 

This episode features a rich and timely conversation between Native Circles co-hosts Dr. Farina King and Eva Bighorse and the co-editors of the anthology Beyond the Glittering World: An Anthology of Indigenous Feminisms and Futurisms, Stacie Shannon Denetsosie, Kinsale Drake, and Darcie Little Badger. Bringing together the work of 22 authors, including "women, two-spirit people, and people of marginalized genders," the book is a genre-spanning collection that centers Indigenous feminisms, futurisms, and the enduring power of story as a form of resistance, care, and world-making. In this episode, the co-editors reflect on the vision behind the anthology, its collaborative spirit, and the ways Indigenous writers engage poetry, prose, and speculative modes to challenge colonial narratives while imagining more just and livable futures. Listeners are introduced to the editors' creative and intellectual journeys and to the significance of Beyond the Glittering World as both a literary and societal intervention.The conversation also directly addresses the contemporary context shaping Indigenous storytelling, including book bans and anti-DEI initiatives that seek to restrict what can be taught, read, and spoken. The episode discusses Darcie Little Badger's decision to decline a speaking invitation at Weber State University in the fall of 2025 due to imposed limits on her freedom of expression, underscoring the real and immediate stakes for Indigenous writers and scholars. Throughout the episode, the editors and hosts emphasize Indigenous feminisms as practices rooted in sovereignty, relationality, and accountability, and they return repeatedly to the power of stories to survive erasure, to speak truth, and to insist on Indigenous presence and futures even in the face of silencing.Resources:Order and learn about the anthology Beyond the Glittering World: An Anthology of Indigenous Feminisms and Futurisms through the publisher Torrey House Press: https://www.torreyhouse.org/beyond-the-glittering-worldContributing authors include:Conley Lyons | Moniquill Blackgoose | Trisha Moquino | Amelia Vigil | A.J.

Dan and Ellen talk with Chris Fitzsimon, publisher and CEO of The States Newsroom, the nation's largest nonprofit news organization covering state government. Chris is also the host of a new podcast called Stories from The States. Recent topics on his pod include the impact of Medicaid cuts, ICE detention, and redistricting.   Fitzsimon knows his way around state politics. From 2004 to 2017, he directed a team of seven journalists at the NC Policy Watch, which he founded. He also hosted a weekly radio show and wrote a syndicated column on North Carolina politics and government. From 1991 to 1994, he was the spokesperson, speechwriter and policy adviser for the North Carolina speaker of the House. Before that, he was a television news reporter covering politics and government. Dan has a Quick Take about The Salt Lake Tribune in Utah. In 2019, the Tribune became the first legacy daily newspaper to become a nonprofit. Unlike a few notable hybrids like The Philadelphia Inquirer and The Tampa Bay Times, which are for-profit papers owned by nonprofit foundations, the Salt Lake paper is a true nonprofit, just like your local public television or radio station. And the Tribune has been notably successful. Ellen's Quick Take is on an investigation by SpotlightPA into the director of the Penn State Cancer Institute. The news outlet, which is a nonprofit that provides reporting to more than 90 outlets throughout Pennsylvania, uncovered damaging clinical practices and a toxic work environment. After the story ran last month, the director resigned.  

I recently had a commentary published in The Salt Lake Tribune that I thought you might find interesting. Through the years, I've had many people new to Utah mention how different our state is from others. Although it is invisible to most people who live here, certain things stand out to new folks that are just part of the “Utah culture.” Although some comments are positive—like our high volunteerism rates and how so many people here are involved in recreational and physical activities—other aspects of the culture have been termed “disturbing.” In my experience, these tend to revolve around two areas: one is the religious divide in neighborhoods and communities; and the other focuses on “masculine defaults. I will talk about what I shared in this editorial and add some additional comments about how it plays out in the Church. RESOURCE: Are “masculine defaults” part of the unspoken bias holding Utah women back?

According to the Salt Lake Tribune, Layton Mayoral candidate Trevor Lee Foust is being charged with four misdemeanors because of a 911 call placed by his wife alleging he threatened her in front of their children. Now, legal experts say this may jeopardize the integrity of his position as a candidate. Greg and Holly discuss what is known and how this may impact the race.

A month ago, the Salt Lake Tribune published apiece I wrote that they titled “Voices: In a place like Utah, ‘moral credits' can't make up for how we treat women.” The subtitle was “Maybe some of the conditions that create women's conditions are unconscious — but they could beheightened in religious cultures.” In this episode, I read this for you as it is an interesting concept to think about. I do think it is broader than the title that the Tribune provided, so, I've titled this podcast differently as you'll see.

In a Salt Lake Tribune opinion piece, author and scholar Taylor Petrey says that the Family Proclamation is just "commentary." That it is just describing the times in which it was written. But both President Oaks and Elder Rasband stated strongly that the Proclamation to the World is "doctrine" and "revelatory." This is a perfect example of "Athens vs Jerusalem." So many now want to rid ourselves of the Proclamation or diminish its value into something like "commentary." Why? What is the push? Website- cwicmedia.com

Wipe your slate clean of everything you *think* you know about the pet rock. You'll marble (err, marvel) over its true history! Its inventor, Gary Dahl, thought he'd created a novelty gift that was set in stone. Imagine his surprise when the pet rock's popularity began to crumble. Maybe he shouldn't have taken it for granite?

Wipe your slate clean of everything you *think* you know about the pet rock. You'll marble (err, marvel) over its true history! Its inventor, Gary Dahl, thought he'd created a novelty gift that was set in stone. Imagine his surprise when the pet rock's popularity began to crumble. Maybe he shouldn't have taken it for granite? Ehh?? Get it?? In this episode, Kristin also addresses the often-asked question about whether she's still friends with her former Let's Go To Court co-host.

Continuing our focus on porn and sex addiction and autism sexuality with expert Candice Christiansen.Today, we talk about the co-occurrence and reasons Autistic people can struggle with porn or sex addiction.

As an autism expert, her innovative and inclusive therapeutic approach extends to providing neuro-affirmative screenings, consultations, training, and presentations to neuropsychologists, medical professionals, professors, and students at institutions like Yale University, Harvard, Seeking Integrity Los Angeles, and the International Institute for Trauma and Addiction Professionals in Arizona. Candice is a published author, with works including "Mastering the Trauma Wound" (2016) and "Compassionate KAP: Creating Neuro-Affirmative ‘Set and Settings' for Autistic Adults Participating in Ketamine-Assisted Psychotherapy (KAP)" (2024).
