In this week's episode, we talk about different aspects of LDS church culture.

At one point or another, each member has probably been negatively impacted by church culture. We share some personal stories and talk about how we often give ourselves the benefit of the doubt but not others. We discuss how criticism of church culture is a criticism of the members and we are part of that group. That means we should consider if we are part of the problem.

LDS Church Culture Part 1
