Josh Coates is the Executive Director of the B.H Roberts Foundation which supports education and research related to the culture, doctrine, and history of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

I wanted to speak to Josh as the Foundation recently released results of a survey they conducted with thousands of current and former members of the church. There were some really interesting insights into the distinct culture of the church, I think it's helpful to take a step back and observe ourselves and this data was so helpful in doing that.

Some highlights from this episode include why it's great to be a Latter-day Saint, if Latter-day Saints have a distinct ideology, and what we can learn/do better from looking at the data.
