Godcast —Conversations About Religion, Spirituality, and Being

In this episode, Danielle sits down with two of her childhood friends: Kendall and Kristina. These sisters grew up in the same house, in the same private christian school, and both endured losing their dad before finishing elementary school. Despite all these common experiences, their beliefs and approaches to the world are vastly different. Find out how they navigated these differences, where they've found common ground, and what it has taken for Kendall and Kristina to heal their relationship.

Danielle and Larry Torres talk about what it means to Larry to be an evangelical christian. Danielle presses Larry about his belief in Hell, what the Bible says about "homosexual acts," and the recent death the of the missionary who tried to evangelize North Sentinel Island. It's deep, refreshing, and truly dialogical conversation—one in which Larry embodies conviction, honesty, and humility (the whole point of Godcast). If you're tired of hearing the same conversation about evangelicals, this is the perfect conversation for you.

Danielle asks Caitlyn to clear up some basic information about Mormonism. They cover the mission, polygamy, the temple, church structure, peace building, sacrament, + many other common queries (and are interrupted by a over-zealous dog). Caitlyn moves more deeply into her own experiences of breaking with both cultural norms and mandates in mormonism while still remaining in communication with her Creator and with what is at the heart of mormonism for her. They touch on eating disorders, gender roles, and why so many of your favorite instagrammers are mormon. Thanks for tuning in!
