Post Mormon Peace is a podcast dedicated to bridging the gap between those who stay and those who leave. Through thoughtful, respectful conversations, we sit down with both believing and non-believing guests to explore their experiences, challenges, and perspectives. This isn’t about debating who’s right or wrong—it’s about listening, understanding, and finding common ground.
Faith transitions, whether personal or within families, can create tension. But at the heart of it all, relationships matter more than beliefs. Our goal is to create a space where open dialogue can thrive, where differences don’t have to mean division, and where mutual respect leads to deeper connection.
Wherever you stand on faith, you’re welcome here.

Coming Back to the Table: The Imperfect Side of Peace
From the outside, it can look like I’ve built a perfectly peaceful life of open conversations and harmony. The truth? Choosing openness often means choosing discomfort. In this episode, I talk about what peace actually looks like in practice—the messy parts, the triggers, and the moments I’d rather keep my mouth shut.
I share recent stories with a sibling, my dad, a close friend, my wife, and a raw moment with my mom where I snapped, then called back to apologize. You’ll hear how I’m learning to zoom out (think S&P 500 growth curve) and keep “coming back to the table”—again and again. Peace isn’t the absence of conflict; it’s a commitment to connection, repair, and telling the truth with love.
If you’ve ever stayed silent too long, lost your cool, or said something you regret, this one’s for you.
Highlights / Takeaways
Peace is an internal practice, not a perfect outcome.
Triggers happen; repair is what keeps relationships growing.
“Coming back to the table” > “winning” the conversation.
Zoom out: judge growth over years, not days.
Apologizing doesn’t erase convictions—it deepens connection.
Gentle Note
This episode includes candid reflections on LDS culture/leadership from my current perspective. If you’re a believing member and that feels tender right now, feel free to skip—or listen with curiosity and care.
