Summary

In this bonus episode, we dive into the Standard of Truth Bracket standings. We also cover vital spiritual matters like… groin sensitivity in NCAA officiating, listening to the Tabernacle Choir on the Vegas Strip, and why missionary door approaches like “You wouldn’t want to hear this, would you?” are slightly less effective than you’d think. We also read missionary emails from all over the world—from Panama to Brazil to the frozen missions of Iceland. We even tackled some serious Church history questions, including Joseph Smith’s Civil War prophecy and how to respond to the tired claim that “organized religion has done more harm than good.” Sign up for our free monthly (that doesn’t go out monthly) email: https://standardoftruthpodcast.substack.com ⁠If you have any questions or possible topics of discussion for upcoming podcasts, please email us at: [email protected]
