Infants on Thrones
Summary: An entertaining podcast about self-awareness and discovery. The title Infants on Thrones is an homage to the Mormon Founder Joseph Smith who said, in his lesser-known King Follet discourse, that eternity is full of thrones, upon which dwell thousands of children, reigning on thrones of glory, with not one cubit added to their stature. It is a funny image, but it also suggests that we, as amateur podcasters, do not really have all the answers we may think we do. We can't take ourselves too seriously. We are also Infants on Thrones.

I am beyond thrilled to welcome back the full Mormons on Mushrooms panel of Mike, Shelise, and Doug – yes, welcome back Doug! And yes, it is another episode where we play in the sandbox of symbols and stories and fictions that are probably a little different – or maybe very very different – from the normal symbols and stories and fictions of everyday discourse that we rarely stop to recognize as symbols and stories and fictions because we just think of them as “reality” – which, when you really stop to think about it, is only experienced and communicated through multiple competing systems of symbols, stories, and fictions. Stop. Take a breath. This is fun, right? Playing with symbols and stories and fictions all in the service of learning how to become a more kind, compassionate, understanding, accepting, nurturing, joyful, peace-making human being.

Can logic and faith co-exist? Zach really wants to know. Zach is a 31-year old actor, teacher, and father of two with one foot in the LDS church and one foot out. He wants to effect positive change within the LDS church. Will he do it by reinforcing the seven deadly habits of external control psychology (criticizing, blaming, complaining, nagging, threatening, punishing and bribing) or by developing seven caring habits instead (supporting, encouraging, listening, accepting, trusting, respecting and negotiating differences)? And which one of these approaches do you think that Brigham Young took when he taught the one-time LDS doctrine of blood atonement? Listen in to find out. Join the new study group here.
