Episode 159: LDS University Students Pressured to Not Ask the Hard Questions—Part I

Latter Day Struggles

In the next two episodes Valerie and Nathan respond to a BYU address titled “Stand Forever” by Elder Corbridge, where he proposes to university students that there are only four questions that even matter in one’s quest for spiritual knowledge in the LDS church.

According to him, once these “primary questions” are answered, no “secondary questions” need be asked.

In this series Valerie and Nathan challenge both the the proposed four “primary questions” themselves and the premise that it is wrong to enquire about anything related to our unique faith journeys.

FRIDAY’S episode tackles Val’s and Nathan’s responded to E Corbridge’s proposal that scientific and other academic inquiry is not spiritual in nature and explore why the experience of doubt is evidence of spiritual questing and courage.
