On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by former BYU professor Jason Bergman who appeared in the recent Salt Lake Tribune article discussing the ecclesiastical crackdown on BYU professors.

Professor Bergman saw fist hand the increasingly tight grasp BYU had on it's professors, starting with Elder Holland's "Musket Talk" which Bergman attended, the new "Loyalty Oath" that employees had to sign, and increasingly concerning changes to faculty employment.

Professor Bergman chose to leave his position at BYU after the situation became intolerable for him personally. He knew these new restrictions would not allow him to be the kind of teacher he wanted to be for his students.

He was interviewed by the Salt Lake Tribune to share his perspective on the situation at BYU and Mormonish was so happy to be able to speak with Professor Bergman and learn more details of his personal faith journey and experience at BYU.
