Worth the watch!
Great moment where Dan highlights the difference in social norms between now and the 8th century that can better help us understand how religion is informed by our socio-cultural contexts!

If you’re going to write a journal article analyzing the Book of Mormon for authorship but don’t include Joseph Smith as one of your test authors because “it’s too hard to parse his REAL voice from his scribes” - immediately putting it in the “don’t take too seriously” pile.

Projects are brewing during spring break. (A phrase which should be considered an oxymoron at this point.)

A great joy of Secondhand Sacred are the gifts people give. After hearing about the project, a friend donated this 1956 Catholic school devotion to Mary made by her mother. They are downsizing & didn’t know what to do. For her, this project provided a home instead of discarding. #secondhandsacred
