Listen to this! (recommeded audio) Inside Mormon Faith
If you want to hear about Mormonism from a faithful and knowledgeable insider, check out Inside Mormon Faith, the January 24 edition of Speaking of Faith, Krista Tippet’s weekly radio show on matters of religion. I found this one interesting, informative…and somewhat frustrating, because I wanted to ask some follow-up questions about tenets of Mormonism that don’t make sense. But I have a better perspective on the faith now.
The SOF web site describes this edition as follows:
We’ll avoid well-trodden ground to seek an understanding of the lived beliefs and spirituality of Latter Day Saints, with a leading scholar of the church and a lifelong practitioner. Robert Millet describes a developing young religion with distinct mystical and practical interpretations of the nature of God, family, and eternity.
I recommend this 53 minute program for your commute, your workout or your chores.

One of my favorite podcasts, The Final Sprint, recently interviewed Mike Huckabee - not about politics (although he does talk some about health care) but about running, exercise, and diet. Huckabee saved his health by losing 110 pounds, eating right, and running (he has completed several marathons). This 26 minute interview is worth a listen.
Huckabee’s food rules include:
- If it comes through your car window, it isn’t food.
- If it didn’t exist a hundred years ago, it isn’t food.
- If you need a chemistry degree to understand the ingredients, eat the box instead.
