Dinner at Our Place: Recent Episodes
Dinner at Our Place
Steve and Jessie Pierce invite you to listen in on the conversation happening around our kitchen table — touching on everything from traditionally taboo topics like politics and religion to lighter fare like music, movies and TV.
As if one episode about these two hot-button topics wasn't enough, Steve and Jessie continue their conversation from Episode 13 about politics and religion — and the intersection between them — in a second (and final!) installment. We dive deep on why Steve feels the Democratic Party represents his Christian values, what LDS folks can do to push their church to take action to combat racism, and why the conversation about abortion (particularly in faith circles) often lacks the context and nuance needed to find common ground.
Politics and religion are like peanut butter and jelly — everyone just loves to mix them together, slather them on a hearty piece of bread and devour them. Or, you know, maybe not! But that's not going to stop Steve and Jessie from answering your questions about two of the most difficult topics in American life and how they intersect. We hope you enjoy this second installment of our four-part mini-series leading up to the 2020 election!
We're back and ready to talk about everyone's favorite topic: politics!

In this first installment, Steve tells his own "origin story" and then we dive into some of the most fundamental questions about American politics. More to come!
