    Ian and Jim reunite for a wide-ranging, candid conversation sparked by a recent Church policy change allowing women to serve as ward Sunday School presidents.

    What begins as a discussion of a seemingly small shift quickly expands into a deeper exploration of authority, gender roles, and the nature of change within the Church. Jim and Ian examine whether this move represents meaningful progress or merely a symbolic “crack in the dam”—and what it might signal for the future.

    Ian and Jim welcome a longtime friend and Ian's former missionary companion, Byron Casper—the son of legendary golfer Billy Casper.

    Byron shares what it was like growing up in the shadow of one of golf’s greatest champions, rebelling as a teenager, and eventually serving a mission in Scotland despite feeling completely unprepared for it. His story includes everything from PGA Tour life to culture shock in Aberdeen, a fiery missionary companionship with Ian, and a transformative final month serving among the poverty of Glasgow’s Easterhouse.

    Along the way, the conversation is packed with unforgettable stories—mission legends, clashes of personality, encounters with witches in Scotland, a surreal moment in a bathroom with golf icon Jack Nicklaus, and Byron’s journey back into the professional golf world after his mission.

    In this deeply personal episode, Ian shares a story he’s never told publicly before about an experience that changed his life forever.

    Jim responds with a powerful mission story of his own, and together they reflect on what these sacred moments mean — inside faith, outside faith, and beyond religious boundaries. Does God show up only within organized religion? Or is divine love universal and available to everyone?
