One More TaleThe Magic Garbage TruckMason loves to see the magic in everything. A simple cloud? He sees a mystical creature. A plate of plain pasta? It’s a five-star meal. But deep down, there’s one thing he wishes for more than anything else—his dad to be home every night.One day, after breaking his mom’s favorite lamp, Mason watches in sadness as the garbage truck hauls it away. That’s when he remembers something Grandma once told him: If you make a wish when your tears fall, it will come true… one day, somehow.The next morning, Mas...2025-03-1412 min

Presentation Thinking™#150.

München persönlichSophie Pacini: Wie klingt Heimat? Wie wird man zur Weltklasse-Pianistin? Wie klingt München? Wie Heimat? Sophie Pacini, Jahrgang 1991, hat viel zu erzählen. Sie hat ein mitreißendes Temperament, nicht nur beim Klavierspiel. Ihre Begeisterung für die Klassik soll anstecken. Ob Leipziger Gewandhausorchester, Tokyo Philharmonic Orchestra, Wiener Kammerorchester oder Maggio Musicale Fiorentino: Bei diesen und anderen Orchestern ähnlichen Rufs gastierte sie bereits als Solistin. Wieso es die Weltreisende in Sachen Musik trotzdem immer wieder in ihre Geburtsstadt München zieht, warum sie inzwischen dort wohnt, wo sie einst aufwuchs, und wieso ihr Weg alles andere als immer ein leichter war – darüber...2023-09-2740 min

Radical CivilitySex Abuse On CES CampusesHow are church-sponsored schools doing on sexual assault? Jacob Mayberry joins me to look at the data, ask what the limitations of the data are, and what lessons we can learn. Disclaimer: This episode deals with difficult topics.

From Crisis to Connection - with Geoff & Jody SteurerIn Search of Heroic Masculinity - Ben Pacini - Episode 203Masculinity has become a taboo topic in recent years, often being associated with sexism and misogyny. In this episode Ben Pacini, author of “The Case for Heroic Masculinity” and professor at BYU-Idaho, joins us to discuss the need for healthy masculinity in today’s society. What that looks like in different families, communities, and organizations may differ, but will ultimately benefit the whole for years to come. “The Case for Heroic Masculinity” by Ben Pacini The Power of Community in Pornography Recovery: Download Relay and try it out for free, or learn more at Relay's website.

Radical CivilityGeneral Conference Recap: CivilityGeneral conference is one of my favorite things in life, and this time was particularly important to me. Messages about Jesus, faith, Easter, and holy week, but this time a further message about how the disciple of Christ has an obligation to be a peacemaker. I loved it. Not just civility, something deeper: the call to peacemaking. I suspect we'll talk more about it in coming episodes, so for now, a highlights reel.2023-04-0920 min

Radical CivilityLatter-day Saints and White Christian NationalismI sit down with Carl Cranney and Christopher Cunningham to talk about white christian nationalism, which is making the rounds in the news. We discuss what the Latter-day Saint response should be to the phenomenon, and how we're really doing on things. We also talk about two recent articles, one by Christopher in Public Square Magazine, and another by Dr. Taylor Petrey in The Salt Lake Tribune.2023-03-301h 19

Radical CivilityBlack Mirror: Hated in the Nation #deathtosocialmedia"I sit down with Carl Cranney and Liz Busby from Pop Culture on the Apricot Tree in this (ambitious!) crossover episode to discuss an episode of Netflix's dystopian technology show Black Mirror. We had a blast talking through the Black Mirror episode "Hated in the Nation." The discussion focuses on social media, and how it encourages bad behavior. We also talk about how we can resist the pull of cruelty and the "epistemology of hell" that drives the attention economy."2023-02-261h 07

The Raising Family PodcastBenjamin Pacini: Humility & The Pursuit of TruthBenjamin Pacini, host of the podcast, “Radical Civility,” is currently a faculty member at BYU-Idaho in Elementary Education and pursuing an EDD from BYU. His experience as both educator and student has given him a unique perspective on how our culture seems to view and express “truth”. Benjamin explores how truth remains constant across cultural borders and historical periods (4:14) and how we can manage to stand for truth and still be compassionate to those who disagree (8:46). He goes on to explain how truth, by definition, cannot be individualized, but that we should have the humility and gratitude to be corr...2022-12-2152 min

Radical CivilityOn the Recent AP Report: Interview with CD CunninghamContent Warning: This episode discusses sexual abuse. I sit down with my friend, CD Cunningham to discuss his recent article regarding the associated press article about a case of abuse. We talk about the options for policies and the pros and cons of each option. It seems too often people rush, with their heart in the right place, to conclusions. When it comes to something so tragic, perhaps taking some time to think allows greater clarity. I learned some things in this episode, and I hope you do, too. Or watch on YouTube...2022-08-301h 14

Radical CivilityOn the Recent AP Report: Interview with Jennifer RoachContent Warning: This episode discusses sexual abuse. Jennifer Roach is a friend, and also a therapist and clerical abuse survivor. When I read the recent AP article about a case of abuse, I knew that it was something I needed to learn about and understand better. My goal on the podcast has always been to tackle hard issues well. This is among the hardest I've tackled. I think it's good to think through and process--espcially if there are things we can do to make things safer. If you are looking for an apologetic, this probably isn't...2022-08-081h 35

Radical CivilityBrad Wilcox' Recent CommentsI get together with some friends to discuss Brad Wilcox's recent comments--and the strong response they received. We talk about intent and circumstances, but also the reason the comments were hard for so many. Note: we tried to get this right. I guarantee we didn't manage perfectly. A group of thoughtful people talking it out helped me though. There were some really good moments and insights, and if nothing else, I think we modeled what it looks like to grapple with something hard in as faithful a way as possible. That sounds me as worth doing. 2022-02-191h 31

Radical CivilityCovenantal PluralismI'm excited about this interview, friends. I sit down with Marian Edmonds-Allen to discuss her recent article about "covenantal pluralism" which she believes (as I now do too) can heal many of the divides in our country, including and especially the LGBTQ+ and faith divide. We talk about her history and background, how religious freedom and LGBTQ+ rights can bolster each other rather than threaten each other, and about what covenental pluralism is. Not only did I learn from her, I also now count her a fast friend. I think you'll enjoy the interview.2021-10-0839 min

Radical CivilityRC Goes CwicI sit down with Greg Matsen of the Cwic show to talk about Elder Holland's recent BYU address.

Radical CivilityThe Paradox of CivilityA bit of personal news. My podcast has somehow changed from "five listeners, three of whom are my mom" to a real podcast. Someone showed it to the good people at Public Square Magazine, and they've asked to partner with me. That's pretty exciting for someone who is a total amateur. I'm honored and excited to work with people who have become my genuine friends. I don't know what I'm doing, still. I have no idea how to podcast, and I'll probably get some things wrong. But the paradox of civility is that decent people ho...2021-09-0716 min

Radical CivilityThe Unique Mission of BYU: Responses to Elder Holland's Recent AddressJeffrey R. Holland is a senior church leader in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In addition, he is the chairman of the executive committee of the church board of commissioners, and a former president of BYU. He recently gave a talk that has since become highly controversial. I'm an alum of BYU, and wanted to discuss more with thoughtful friends. Now, you should note just how tricky a topic this is. It's sensitive and difficult, and I guarantee we didn't handle it perfectly--but we tried to engage honestly, and that's a start. ...2021-09-011h 23

Radical CivilityInformed ConsentWhat is informed consent when it comes to religions? How do you know if someone is consenting for themselves or doing it for social pressure or parental approval? This is an interesting--and sticky--issue. I sit down with Dan Ellsworth and Leo Winegar to talk through in depth. Note: this is a little longer than normal because we wanted it to be thorough and open-ended. We tried to address it as thoughtfully and earnestly as we could. Would love to hear your thoughts.

Radical CivilityThe Dad Brigade Talks Families--and Elder Tad CallisterRecently, Elder Tad Callister--an emeritus general leader of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints--released the following essay on the importance of families to society. https://www.thechurchnews.com/living-faith/2021-05-22/tad-callister-fence-cliff-ambulance-strong-families-213923 As you can imagine, Twitter handled everything with thoughtfulness and grace (sarcasm there, in case you missed it). Some were offended, others were offended at the offense, and things deteriorated quickly.

Radical CivilityMy Wife, The GeniusAre Bow-Ties pretentious? Who is the least civil person on Twitter? What is the hippo scale? Fungus or dry skin? I talk about all of the above, and then basically explain that I told you so--that the death of civility has caused a good chunk of our problems, and that the solution is to live back up to the principles that we always knew we should. In particular: 1) Accountability is a must. Personal responsibility is the old-conservative way. 2) Basic kindness is still the best antidote. 3) We must actively truth-tell, and n...2021-02-1738 min

Radical CivilityFaith and PoliticsJust before the election, I sit down with a good friend of mine to ask how faith influences politics. We focus on civility, and avoid talking directly about candidates--Jason is in the military, and we tried pretty hard to live up to his promises not to speak against any members of the sitting government. But we still had a thoughtful, interesting discussion. How does yours influence yours? (No wrong answers here--and 'worldview' counts too, or ethics, etc.)2020-10-2649 min

Radical CivilityInsufficiently ConservativeThere is something even more conservative than voting conservative: Upholding the peaceful transition of power. If you are a conservative who is planning to vote for the incumbent, I disagree with you. I find him insufficiently conservative. But I hope you'll join me in this: if the president wins, I'll do all I can to protect his legal right to serve as president. And if he loses, I'll do the same for his opponent.2020-09-1432 min

Anywho, I made another thing--it's a conversation about the conversation: why is everything politicizied? Why is the whole world angry about even non-important issues?

Radical CivilityThe Nickelodeon: Maximum Tolerable TrumpA fun game: what would it take for you to vote for someone that you really, really don't like? I did it for Senator Sanders, and the President deserves a turn. Fun times: I tried to keep this one short. Still made it to 20 minutes. *shrugs*2020-03-0318 min

Sai che il tuo amico è un egoista. Quante volte sai comprendere, a livello razionale, cosa è giusto e cosa è sbagliato, e quello di cui avresti bisogno, per stare bene, e quello che vorresti cambiare, e invece, non lo fai, e continui a perseverare nello stesso errore?
