About
The three Barker brothers would often engage in private e-mails and phone calls with each other and their friends about Mormonism. The three decided it would be more fun to create a blog where all their friends and family could get together and hammer out some of the idiosyncrasies of Mormonism. Here they hope to provide a safe, fair, and balanced space to discuss the complexities, difficulties, and beauty of their Mormon tradition.

Quote of the Month
"...God created us with weakness. God doesn't make mistakes, but He made us with mistakes. God created us as flawed individuals and so if that is the way he created us, that is not part of the problem. It is no sin to be flawed, that's part of God's way of beckoning us to have a relationship with him so that He can manifest his power and transform us and know that he loves us in our weakness. He created us that way"
(Dan McDonald A Thoughtful Faith podcast, episode 41, 15:50).
