Inside Out with Jim Bennett and Ian Wilks
The format of Inside Out is simple - Jim Bennett is still on the inside of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and Ian Wilks is on the outside of the Church. Yet both care about the Church and its future, and both want to see constructive dialogue between those who stay and those who leave. Hopefully, all of us can come to a better understanding of the Church and of each other.
Inside Out with Jim Bennett and Ian Wilks
A Conversation with Byron Casper
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Ian and Jim welcome a longtime friend and Ian's former missionary companion, Byron Casper—the son of legendary golfer Billy Casper.
Byron shares what it was like growing up in the shadow of one of golf’s greatest champions, rebelling as a teenager, and eventually serving a mission in Scotland despite feeling completely unprepared for it. His story includes everything from PGA Tour life to culture shock in Aberdeen, a fiery missionary companionship with Ian, and a transformative final month serving among the poverty of Glasgow’s Easterhouse.
Along the way, the conversation is packed with unforgettable stories—mission legends, clashes of personality, encounters with witches in Scotland, a surreal moment in a bathroom with golf icon Jack Nicklaus, and Byron’s journey back into the professional golf world after his mission.
