In this episode, we focus in on an article that Matthew wrote for Beggar’s Bread. The article was published in two parts, and here we focus on Part 1 (our discussion of the concluding part of his article will follow in two weeks). In Part 1, we discuss how the LDS conception of God affects their view of the gospel, as well as how perfectionism flows out from that.

In this episode the sons of light attempt to tackle a subject that always creates more heat than light and may be more contentious even than religion: politics. What does the Bible say about political involvement and activism? More than one might think. Let's take a look together.

The sons of light are joined by Jeremy Howard, staff pastor at Orchard Hills Bible Church in Payson, Utah and co-host of the Do Theology podcast. He joined us for our discussion of the eleventh LDS Article of Faith to talk about religious freedom and respect. Jeremy developed a chart delineating Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary doctrines of the Christian faith. We discuss all of that with him. If you’re interested in better understanding where Mormonism differs from historic Christianity on primary doctrines like the nature of God and Salvation, this is a great episode for that.
