Episode 10: Converting to Country and Tips for Traveling (with Jess and Michael Barnes)

Episode 14: Politics and Religions (Part 2)

As if one episode about these two hot-button topics wasn't enough, Steve and Jessie continue their conversation from Episode 13 about politics and religion — and the intersection between them — in a second (and final!) installment. We dive deep on why Steve feels the Democratic Party represents his Christian values, what LDS folks can do to push their church to take action to combat racism, and why the conversation about abortion (particularly in faith circles) often lacks the context and nuance needed to find common ground.

Episode 13: Politics and Religion

Politics and religion are like peanut butter and jelly — everyone just loves to mix them together, slather them on a hearty piece of bread and devour them. Or, you know, maybe not! But that's not going to stop Steve and Jessie from answering your questions about two of the most difficult topics in American life and how they intersect. We hope you enjoy this second installment of our four-part mini-series leading up to the 2020 election!

Episode 12: Politics 101
