| 0:05.8 | going to want to miss this. We're bringing in some amazing speakers like Thomas McConkey, |
| 0:10.1 | Christine Hogland, and Catherine Sontag to talk about spiritual attention in the age of AI, the history |
| 0:15.8 | and future of Mormon utopianism, and what a Latter-day Saint cultural Renaissance might look like. |
| 0:38.3 | Plus, just lots of amazing time to connect with friends, old and new, and we've got catered lunches, poetry readings, musical performances, breakout sessions, and art gallery, and everything taking place in the gorgeous Heber Valley. Space for this is extremely limited so you won't want to delay. You can get tickets at Wayfairmagine.org or look for the link in the show notes. Hey everybody. This is Aubrey Chavez from Faith Matters. This week, |
| 0:44.1 | wards across the United States will be having a really unique fifth Sunday discussion centered on |
| 0:48.3 | the Constitution, moral agency, and peace building. So today we want to reshare a conversation |
| 0:53.5 | that originally aired in 2021. |
| 0:56.0 | In this episode, Faith Matters co-founder Bill Turnbull joined Judge Thomas Griffith, |
| 1:00.6 | an expert in constitutional law to explore the constitution and the rapid erosion of goodwill |
| 1:05.5 | and trust in American politics, including among Latter-day Saints. Judge Griffith sees the |

We've also compiled lots of additional resources that we hope will be helpful for you as you prepare for this special Sunday school lesson. You can find all of those in the show notes. Thanks, as always, for listening, and we hope that you enjoy this episode. |
