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.

Changes in the Temple - with Greg Prince

What has changed about the LDS temple—and what do those changes tell us about the Church itself?
Historian Greg Prince joins Jim Bennett and Ian Wilks for a wide-ranging conversation about the history and evolution of Latter-day Saint temple worship. Greg reveals that he has spent fifty years researching a comprehensive history of the temple endowment, tracing the idea of being “endowed with power from on high” back to the earliest days of the Church.
The conversation explores the difference between priesthood authority and spiritual power, the development of the temple recommend process, changes to recommend questions and the endowment itself, and the sometimes complicated experience members have when encountering the temple for the first time.
