Is fatherhood just underappreciated, or is it under attack?

Thirty years ago, The Family: A Proclamation to the World declared that fathers are to preside, provide, and protect. Today, fatherhood is mocked, minimized, or erased altogether.

We’ve gone quiet—afraid the truth is too controversial, the standard too high, the damage already done.

But Dr. Tim Rarick makes a powerful case: the world doesn’t need perfect dads—it needs present ones.

The Proclamation isn’t a list of impossible expectations. It’s a rescue plan, a reminder of who we are, and who we’re meant to become.

Because the more fathers stay silent to avoid failure, the more we contribute to the very collapse we were called to prevent.

In a culture that’s delaying, rejecting, and redefining marriage, what’s keeping young people from the relationships they deeply want?

BYU professor Dr. Brian Willoughby breaks down the hidden fears, mixed messages, and spiritual confusion behind modern dating and what the restored gospel can uniquely offer.

We discuss:

• Why marriage and family are being delayed—or avoided altogether
• The concept of “Me-Marriage” and how we can avoid it
• How our culture of individualism and “on-demand” connection is eroding real intimacy
• The quiet consequences of rejecting eternal family structures
• Why covenant sacrifice still leads to the deepest fulfillment

This conversation is a wake-up call and a message of hope. The doctrine hasn’t changed—but our culture has.

What if the very thing you prayed would go away… is actually God’s invitation to know Him better?

Ron Squire was living the life he planned, until a fall left him paralyzed and full of doubt. His faith didn’t feel like enough.

But through the unlikely lens of Viktor Frankl, and a God who doesn’t waste suffering, Ron discovered something deeper: Pain isn’t punishment. It’s a privilege.

And when you stop running from it… You might just find the faith you’ve been missing.

Why do people lose their faith?

Psychologist and BYU-I professor, Dr. Jeffrey Thayne, uncovers the deeper desires shaping our beliefs.

Challenging the assumption that logic alone drives our convictions, Jeffrey reveals how moral intuitions, molded by our communities and culture, hold the key to navigating faith and doubt. Unlocking these answers can strengthen our own faith and help us better navigate relationships with those who have stepped away.

Most of us celebrate the Resurrection but quietly avoid the Crucifixion. Why?

Did the Book of Mormon Witnesses Really See the Gold Plates? What if the most controversial testimonies in Latter-day Saint history weren’t just words—but undeniable evidence of something far bigger?

In this episode of Let's Get Real, historian Don Bradley—who once left his faith but later returned—tackles the hardest, most controversial questions head-on: Were the Three and Eight Witnesses deceived? Were they part of a fabrication? Or did they really see the gold plates?

Because in the end, it’s not just about their testimony—it’s about ours. You might think you know the story—but once you see this evidence, you’ll never look at their testimonies the same way again.
