Whether a preparing missionary, currently serving, a return missionary or a Missionary Momma, this podcast will help you with the 'how' of doing hard things. Until the LDS Church officially apologizes for racial restrictions, this racism will fester in the pews. This podcast will help you gain real life tools and strategies to manage any aspect of the LDS Mission Experience. The Randy Bott of 2012 is the Brad Wilcox of 2022. Wilcox’s view isn’t an aberration it’s part of the fabric of LDS culture and belief.

Bott was one of BYU’s most popular professors for years, and he repeated this rationale confidently, as he prepared missionaries to teach others about The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
Bott claimed that Black men were not ready for the “car keys,” much like a young child is not prepared to drive. In 2008, I sat in Randy Bott’s missionary preparation class at Brigham Young University when he told us why Black men could not be ordained to the priesthood until 1978.
