What happens when a Mormon Apostle gets asked troublesome questions about Mormonism? In this episode of Mormonism Live, RFM and Bill Reel sit down with someone who had questions —hard questions — for the LDS Apostle about Mormonism. As the conversation unfolds, we witness a fascinating dynamic: a man taking a closer look at belief, truth claims, and the stories the Church tells its members. It’s a rare opportunity to see what happens when one presses for clarity—and Elder Renlund finds himself on the receiving end of uncomfortable but essential inquiries. Don’t miss this unique episode that blends sharp humor, keen insight, and the kind of candid exploration you’ve come to expect from Mormonism Live. ***EDIT NOTE*** During post-production, several brief portions of the conversation were removed at the request of our guest. We made every effort to preserve the flow while respecting those edits. As a result, a few transitions may feel slightly abrupt, but the overall discussion remains intact and hopefully easy to follow.

Why did he write to Elder Renlund? Was he an old friend? Former mission companion? Next door neighbor? You said you had to edit, but removing how he knows Renlund is the main story!
I came here hoping to get the name of Clark’s book as well as a copy of his letter.
Clark’s last assertion undoes the rest of his arguments. Clark spends most of the discussion leveraging and asserting secular knowledge, and then at the end embraces a belief based on an emotional/mental experience. I’m sure TBMs love the way that Clark ended the session.
