The Faithful Feminists Podcast

Humble Home Inspections (Mormon 7-9)

In this week's episode, we discuss Mormon's testimony "basics" and what simple truths we rely on to keep us going through challenging times. We also examine what Moroni teaches us about the beauty of critique, especially when it comes to our own religious structures and institutions. Finally, we explore the humility of Moroni and other authors of the Book of Mormon as we are encouraged to examine the text as a a divinely-inspired but nevertheless human endeavor.
