#029 -- "You are Not God. This isn't Heaven." ft. Patrick Mason

Patrick Mason, historian, Fulbright Scholar, and holder of the Leonard J. Arrington Chair of Mormon History and Culture at Utah State University, joins Latter Day Bridge Builders for a wide-ranging conversation on faith, doubt, and what it means to stay curious inside a religious community.We talk about how to create space for hard questions without feeling dismissed, what both faithful members and critics most often get wrong about church history, theories of change and activism within the church, and how to hold your convictions without losing sight of the humanity on the other side.Patrick also opens up about his experience on Mormon Stories, what it taught him about seeing people beyond their positions, and why he believes Jesus redeems history, including the messy, human parts of it.🌐 More episodes & links: https://linktr.ee/latterdaybridgebuilders📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latterdaybridgebuilders 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@latterdaybridgebuilders☕ Support the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LDSBridgebuilders
