0:00.0	Well, this is a one of the blessings of working at Utah State University is
0:06.6	being able to associate with Patrick Mason, who has been at the university. How long?
0:14.0	About two years, two years. Came in from California. You were at Claremont Graduate College,
0:21.7	Graduate University. Then he was offered the Earrington Chair at USU and so here he is. So we
0:29.6	get to have him here. This is a very timely message. In recent years, virtually no member of the
0:37.0	church has been unaffected by faith crises, whether they're on or among someone they love.
0:44.8	So how can we faithfully, honestly and lovingly meet the questions and doubts that often arise, both
0:52.6	for ourselves and for others? So that's what Patrick Mason will speak to today. Patrick Mason is
0:58.7	the author of the book, Planted, Belief and Belonging in an Age of Doubt, published by Deseret
1:05.2	Book. He's professor of religious studies and history at Utah State University and Patrick and
1:12.0	his wife Melissa Liban Logan with their four children. So we'll turn the time now over to
1:17.6	Brother Mason after I clean up the microphone for him. Thank you, Tom. Didn't know when you
1:27.6	were called in the state presidency. You'd also be on janitorial duty up here too. But it's great
1:33.5	to see those of you who are here, but especially all those who are with us remotely. And these are
1:43.9	interesting times we're in. We're all hoping and praying that things are getting better, of course.
1:49.2	And hopefully in a few months we'll be able to do this kind of thing with a packed house
1:52.9	all in person. But for those of you who are at home and you're pajamas,
1:59.8	you know, eat some cheetos for me. Well, we're here in the building. So I'm thrilled to be here
2:07.5	tonight. And it's like President William said, I moved to Logan with my family a couple years ago.
2:15.5	We've had just a fantastic experience here. It's been a great place for us to be with our family,
2:22.4	to raise our kids, to be part of the community. And as time goes on, we look forward to
2:29.4	this so seeing. We'll probably bump into a lot of you in the grocery stores and other places
