Lance_Science, Religion, and Happiness_5Qs 4 of 4

You've made it! This is part d and the last portion of Lance's interview. If you've made it this far, the SHPC can only assume that you've either enjoyed it or you are so mad at them that you're only listening with the motivation of keeping a tally of how many faux-pas they've said. :) In this episode, Lance discusses why he looks to science to help direct his decisions in life. He admits that a life where one takes control and does not just give the responsibility to someone else can be challenging. Lance explains, however, how rewarding and fulfilling such a path is. Both Nate and Lance discuss the dangers of Mormon cultural teachings that encourage its members that testimonies come in the bearing of them. This method of saying one knows something when, in fact, they only hope to know it (absent any proof or data) is not the best method of finding truth. In the final minutes, they both speculate what possible benefits can come from religion. There are, of course, many good things that they have to offer all of us. The question, however, is if these benefits outweigh the costs. Also, I'd like to hear any and all of your thoughts about this. Thank you for listening to his story and enjoy the show.

Lance_Agnosticism & Map Crack_5Qs 3 of 4

This is part c of Lance's interview. Yep, these two didn't stop for nothing! In this episode, Lance and Nate continue to tackle tough topics. Lance shares his perspective of God and why, after growing up faithful in the Mormon religion, he now has moved to a more agnostic view of him. Nate manages to ask Lance a few more direct questions such as what good he sees in his former faith. Nate also shares some personal details regarding the struggle he has had in supporting his kids in their decisions to get baptized into the Mormon church while doing his best to make sure these decisions aren't a result of peer, social pressure. On a more lighter note, Lance shares an embarrassing experience during one of his ultra, 100-mile marathon trail runs when he experiences some painful crack issues and ends up pulling a MacGyver fix using a map, a toothpick, and a roll of duct tape. It's a definite CRACK UP to listen to. Also, I'd like to hear any and all of your thoughts about this. Thank you for listening to his story and enjoy the show.

Lance_Good Friends & Porn Shaming_5Qs 2 of 4

This is part b of Lance's interview. In this episode, Lance and Nate touch upon some rather lesser talked about subjects. Topics such as what constitutes a good friend and can someone leave the Mormon church and find true happiness are discussed. These two wild n' crazy guys even peel the onion back on taboo topics such as how pornography and masturbation are handled by the Mormon church. Is there method effective at the goal they want to accomplish or is it only aggravating the problem. Questions such as whether or not shaming people for activities such as these are discussed. It's a pretty candid conversation so strap in and hold on for one wild ride. Also, I'd like to hear any and all of your thoughts about this. Thank you for listening to his story and enjoy the show.

Lance_Net Positives & Sky Wizard_5Qs 1 of 4

For this week's episode, Nate interviews one of his old friends from way back. This incredible guy's name is Lance. As you will hear, Lance is a very active guy who knows no bounds when it comes to running. He has run multiple races including ultra marathons of as far as 100 miles! Not only a runner, but Lance also enjoys many other outdoor activities. One of these activities, however, nearly cost him his life. About 9 years ago, Lance was competing in a timed rock climbing competition when, to his surprise, a faulty knot sent him falling down to the ground. Check out this episode to find out how this single event really changed his life and how he views it. As a note, Nate had such a great time interviewing Lance that the conversation got a little long winded. To make this conversation easier to listen to, it was split up in 4 separate sections. That said, be sure to download the next three and enjoy the show. Also, I'd like to hear any and all of your thoughts about this. Thank you for listening to his story and enjoy the show.

Jodie_Faith after Loss_5Qs

Have you ever asked the question "Why me God?" or wondered why you were given an experience that seemed almost more than you could bear? This episode speaks to all those who have experienced a significant loss or trial in their lives and, as a result, have found it hard to find the Faith to carry on. In this episode, our dear friend Jody shares personal details of a tragic event that occurred in her life a little more than two decades ago. While en route to make an appointment for a doctor's visit, a trip they had made many times before, Jody and her small boy Andrew collided with a snowplow that was crossing on the freeway. Though the next few hours, days and months of Jody's time would be filled with the excruciating physical pain of recovery, Jody explains that she would go through it all again if it meant she could get her son back. After such a devastating loss, Jody's spirit understandably questioned how taking her son away from her fit into God's plan. As she looks back on this event and the years that followed, Jody shares with us some observations and lessons that she learned and how she found Faith after her Loss. The SHPC would like to thank Jody for sharing her and her family's story with us and hope that it might help those out there who have gone through or are going through a difficult trial or loss out there. It's our hope that after listening to this podcast you will speak to/about others with a kinder tone and give your kids an extra hug and tell them you love them. We never know how much longer we have on this planet or when God will call our brother or sister home. Until then, "Be excellent to each other", as Bill and Ted so eloquently said in the Bill & Ted's Excellent Journey movie. Also, I'd like to hear any and all of your thoughts about this. Please be as respectful as you can. I have feelings too you know. I think I know where I hid them. :) Thank you for listening to his story and enjoy the show.

Derek Sivers_Beyond Need & Happy to Be_5Qs

For this week's episode, the SHPC traveled across the deep wide ocean to a small green rock that goes by the name of New Zealand. And just did we find in our virtual travels? We found a cool dude known as Derek Sivers (www.dereksivers.org). Derek is the founder of CD Baby. This company is the largest online seller of independent music and has sold over $100M of music to over 150,000 independent musicians. Not only is Derek a talented and successful entrepreneur, but he also is a very accomplished writer with as many as 34 books to his name. One of his books that comes highly recommended from the SHPC and is great for any entrepreneur (or "wantrepeneur" for that matter) is "Anything You Want." It's a fabulous read that will make you think twice about the way one should approach building a business. In this episode, Nate gains a few wonderful insights from Derek that he has been needing to hear for a long, long time. One piece of advice that Nate took to heart is for him to stop being a "people pleaser" and being so dependent on the thoughts and expectations of people around him. Derek explains how he does just this and tells how it has really benefited his life. Do you have an obstacle in your life that you just can't get over? Tune in and listen to Derek's advice about how he overcomes difficult events in his life and how he disconnects from these and makes them his strengths. Derek talks about all this stuff and much, much more. Go ahead and download the episode today! Also, I'd like to hear any and all of your thoughts about this. Please be as respectful as you can. I have feelings too you know. I think I know where I hid them. :) Thank you for listening to his story and enjoy the show.
