Zion, We Need to Talk is a candid, thoughtful, and (sometimes) irreverent podcast about faith, Church culture, history, politics, family, and the messy realities of everyday life. Hosted by Aaron, a lifelong Latter-day Saint, the show explores the questions, ideas, experiences, and occasional absurdities that make life and faith so interesting. Sometimes serious, sometimes funny, it’s a place for interesting ideas, different perspectives, and conversations worth having.
The Church has a major push going for the upcoming Salt Lake City Temple open house period. Why are public temple open houses generally associated with new construction and major renovations rather than offered periodically at existing temples? Aaron proposes that the Church evaluate holding public open houses at operating temples every five years. This isn't a challenge to temple doctrine or sacredness; it's a call to reconsider an established practice and explore how the Church could make the experience of visiting a temple more accessible to communities around the world.

Faith in an On-Demand World
In this episode, Aaron explores the importance of faith in a world where answers and information are available almost instantly. We may not have every answer, but we can continue seeking truth, nurturing our testimonies, and moving forward with faith. After all, sometimes the witness comes after the trial of our faith.

When Forever Gets Complicated
This episode examines one of the most difficult and rarely discussed questions surrounding the LDS doctrine of eternal families: what happens when real families don't fit neatly into the traditional model of one husband, one wife, and their children? The Church has revealed the purpose, authority, and promises of sealing without revealing a complete blueprint for every family's eternal configuration, leaving believers with an important distinction between what we actually know, what the Church currently administers, and what we must ultimately trust God to make right.
