In Good Faith
In Good Faith is the place to hear stories and accounts from believers, told in their own words. Our hope is to listen with an open heart, celebrating the power of faith and belief, and what those stories mean to the ones who tell them.
Host Steven Kapp Perry talks with believers from all walks of faith—Catholic and Episcopalian, Buddhist and Baptist, Jewish and Hindu, Presbyterian and Seventh Day Adventist, Muslim and Latter-day Saint—in other words, human beings and believers, sharing their personal experience with the sacred and the divine. Sundays on BYUradio—and be sure to subscribe to the podcast!

In this last episode before our hiatus in April, we'll foreshadow our future episode format: two guests in each episode and an intermediate producers chat. In this episode, listen as Steve talks with Lucy Bregman, who taught a course on "Death and Dying" for undergraduates at Temple University's religion department, and Howard Wettstein, who researches philosophy of language and religion at UC Riverside. Heather Bigley, In Good Faith's senior producer, and Lia King, In Good Faith's student producer, will also share their thoughts in this final episode before we go off-air. But don't worry--after April, we, along with this new episode format, will return.

A common question leveled at religious people is, "if God exists, why does he allow suffering?" Mathew Schmalz, a professor of religious studies at the College of the Holy Cross, joins us today to discuss the ways suffering enters in and affects our lives, and yet how, despite suffering we endure, God's presence is able to teach and heal us during our trials.

Discussing religion can be difficult, given how sensitive of a subject it can be. But, of course, this doesn't mean we should avoid talking about religion. And who better to explain how we can have good, productive discussions about religion than a panel of four local clergy members? (And if you've been tuned into In Good Faith for a while, you may recognize some of these leaders as previous guests on the show.) Our panel today is made up of Rabbi David Levinsky, Bishop Carla Long from the Community of Christ, Imam Shuaib Din of the Utah Islamic Center, and Jan Saeed of the Baha'i faith. Join these leaders as they discuss how we can talk about religion in peaceful, effective ways.

Today on In Good Faith, we welcome Patrick Q. Mason, a professor and historian of Mormon History and Culture at Utah State University. Without a doubt, Professor Mason is an expert scholar in his field. He was a Fulbright Scholar in Romania in 2015, is a past president of the Mormon History Association, and is a frequent national and international media consultant regarding stories about Mormon history and culture. Mason knows of the nuances surrounding faith, however, as one of the many books he has written or edited is "Planted: Belief and Belonging in an Age of Doubt," a book that acknowledges how struggling is a natural part of life, and yet does not need to equate to abandoning faith.
