Why is marriage disappearing in America? Brian Willoughby, an Associate Professor at BYU, breaks down the cultural, economic, and digital forces driving the decline of marriage and dating, from rising anxiety and delayed commitments to AI “companions” replacing real relationships. Despite overwhelming research showing that marriage boosts happiness, health, and stability, younger generations increasingly see it as a burden instead of a blessing. We cover the role of parents, religion, technology, and social media in reshaping views on family, the fertility crisis threatening the future, and why marriage is still the foundation for thriving individuals, children, and society. Don’t miss this eye-opening conversation that uncovers what’s really at stake.

Can We Save Marriage And Christianity?

- I had a very positive call with Aaron Sherinian a couple of days ago. 
 
- There was already a tinderbox set before this Q&A match was lit.
 
- It is not good to bury our heads in the sand on what is happening to the family.
 
People have valid reasons for being concerned. Aaron Sherininian is a good man. Both can be true at the same time. We need to distinguish between the person and the issue.

Reaction to Reaction and Clarity on Aaron Sherinian

Cardon Ellis from Ward Radio joins me on my first joint "walk." We stepped out from the FAIR conference (a great conference and organization) for a few minutes to discuss the Q&A with Church Comms Director, Aaron Sherinian.
 
We talk about some of the ridiculous statements from LDX (online community), discernment between an act and the person, and the background that led to so many people asking the question on his stance on The Family Proclamation to begin with. 
 
Also important, the reaction by a loud minority of online trolls against FAIR and even Aaron Sherinian is disappointing. First, FAIR is an incredible organization that I fully support. Scott has done a fantastic job running that organization. Second, please more fully separate the person from the act and focus on the act, not the person. I don't bring these things up to look for a scapegoat or create a witch hunt. But for some, they can't help themselves. I am about the actual issues. In almost all cases, I bring up the event without bringing up a name. Obviously, in this case, that is not possible.

Excellent FAIR Conference - Why The Family Proclamation Deserved A Clear "Yes" feat. Cardon Ellis

Comms Director Follow-Up

As the world moves away from family, it would be nice if the Church were a beacon of light on a hill.
 
For transparency, here is the transcript from the question given to the Comms Director:
 
"When you first came on board the Church, there was a lot of online flak, should we say, and people even-- I've gotten a few questions here-- asking directly whether or not you support the Family Proclamation? And how was that for you when you first came on board? Has it improved, and how do you deal with that?"

LDS Comms Director Declines Answer On Family Proclamation

Joseph Smith, by numerous accounts, practiced polygamy. To state that Brigham Young initiated polygamy, lied and made up D&C Section 132, and invited his buddies in on the secret is beyond the pale. Brian Hales joins Greg in this episode to discuss what one must accept if they believe Brigham Young initiated polygamy and without the direction of the Lord.
 
John Taylor, Wilford Woodruff, and Lorenzo Snow, the third, fourth, and fifth presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, all would have had to have been liars. Also, the second, third, and fourth Relief Society Presidents all stated that Joseph Smith practiced polygamy.
 
What are the real ramifications of believing that Brigham Young made up polygamy and that everyone was in on the conspiracy?

No More Denial: Joseph Smith Practiced Polygamy

Walk - Sydney Sweeney's recent American Eagle ad has caused a stir. Why? Because we have moved further into a progressive world that idolizes postmodernism and the destruction of beauty, truth, and most importantly, the binary.

The New Latter-day Saint Horror Film Genre

The New Managing Director of Communications for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints supports the Pride and Trans movement and uses pronouns. What does a member of the Church make of this? Does the Church support these ideologies?
 
How will this change the messaging of the Church? There is a spiritual side of the Church and a corporate side of the Church.
