Spiritual Arson
Adam and Tanner are both huge proponents of action and have advocating that since the first episode of the show.

They discuss this principle, their own limitations with it, why it's so difficult, and much more in this week's episode.

info_outlineDoes your Sunday School class talk about seer stones, shaking hands with angels, Kolob and its proximity to God, or any of the other uniquely awesome things we believe in as Latter-day Saints?
Do you? If not, why not?
In this episode Adam and Tanner talking about leaning into the unique and even esoteric aspects of who we are and what we believe rather than simply avoiding those topics because they're outside of what the rest of Christianity is comfortable with.
They take that same idea and apply it to the right attitude with which we should be approaching our study of the Old Testament next year.
