On Home of the Brave podcast, Peabody Award winning producer Scott Carrier interviews Brand Thornton, a believing LDC church member and a member of the Bundy militia, who explains the Mormon/religious/spiritual justifications for the occupation.  Brand says, "Absolutely, God told us to do this," and quotes from the Doctrine and Covenants in his justifications.

As parts 3 and 4 in our series reviewing the events of Mormonism in 2015, we assemble another all-star panel including Lindsay Hansen Park, Dr. Gina Colvin, Dr. Kristy Money, and Sean Carter.  Some of the topics discussed included:

• The state of the Mormon Internet (blogs, podcast, social media)
• Social group formations in progressive and post-Mormonism
• The state of Mormon Feminism
• The impact of disciplinary councils and excommunication on modern Mormonism (hint: it isn't good)
• The state of Progressive Mormonism
• Issues of race and multi-culturalism within modern Mormon culture (LDS and post-Mormon)
• The state of Mormon Studies
• Retrenchment/leadership crisis/corporatism in the modern LDS Church

We hope you enjoy it!!!!
