My name is Scott and I'm the host.

Today's very special episode is called A Faith Crisis at BYU Idaho Admissions with Brady Nordfeldt. Welcome back to another episode of the podcast, Rami Umpdom Ruminations.

I have a very special guest today who I'll bring out of the green room in just a minute here.

0:54.4

We brought his wife onto the podcast a couple months back.

0:58.3

She told me a little bit about his background, and I reached out to him as well.

2:02.6

And then she talked a little bit about the faith crisis that you guys went through. But we didn't go too much into those details.

2:08.7

So as much or as little as you'd like to share about your background, we can start diving right into this.
