Must-listen episode tackling the question of divine violence in the Old Testament. Terryl Givens was absolutely on his A-game.

There’s still time to get tickets for Interfaith Repair! This will be an amazing day of skills-based training grounded in deep religious wisdom, with topics including forgiveness, faith transitions, how to argue productively, and more. See you there!

I'm super excited to announce the next Waymakers event. Interfaith REPAIR will be held at First Presbyterian Church in SLC on March 6. Come learn peacemaking skills from leading religious practitioners. I seriously want to sit in on every single workshop.

I support @NDFootball skipping the bowl game. It has nothing to do with not wanting to play, let alone being scared of, BYU. It has to do with a broken college football system where non-playoff bowl games are utterly irrelevant remnants of a former system that no longer exists.

The story of Helmuth Hubener, a Mormon youth who defied Hitler and was the youngest resistance fighter to be executed. Seems more timely than ever. Who here knows this story?

I just got back from watching the new @AngelStudiosInc movie “Truth and Treason,” the story of one of my personal heroes Helmuth Huebener. It’s honest, inspiring, and devastating. An absolute must-see.

@CwicShow I know you do. Like virtually all our institutions that have failed to live up to their best ideals, academia is certainly worthy of our critiques precisely because of its potential (and ongoing reality) of great good.

[Patrick Mason @patrickqmason]

@CwicShow That’s progress! 😀

How the LDS Church addressed the Michigan shooting in the opening session of General Conference: by not focusing on it. Instead, the church honored President Nelson’s legacy by emphasizing how to make peace. https://t.co/73PRFSPmho

[Gary E. Stevenson @StevensonGaryE]

This morning, I described how blessed it is to be a peacemaker and how peacemaking begins in the most basic place: in our hearts, then in homes and families.

As we practice there, peacemaking will spread into our neighborhoods and communities.

Peacemakers are sometimes labeled naive or weak from all sides. Yet, to be a peacemaker is not to be weak, but to be strong in a way the world may not understand.

Blessed Is the Peacemaker! @patrickqmason and I share our personal reflections on the profound influence Russell M. Nelson’s life and teachings have had on us
