This bonus episode was submitted to us by Theric Jepson. It is a recreated sacrament-meeting talk from February of 2018. In this talk, Theric snacks on a bag of SunChips while extolling the sacrament ritual and describing the cycles of life, death, and recreation we are all a part of. This is a fun mini-episode and we hope you enjoy it.

***We want to feature you on a bonus episode of Bristlecone Firesides! If you have any poetry, essays, or talks about the Earth, Stewardship, or that time you found God in the Wild, we want to hear them! Send us an .mp3 or .wav of your reading and it may become its own bonus episode. Plus, everyone who submits will get a Bristlecone Firesides sticker to be placed somewhere responsibly like a water bottle, laptop, or even your triple combination scripture set. Send recordings to bristleconefiresides@gmail.com or go to the submission page on bristleconefiresides.com. So please, join us around the cosmic campfire and send us your work.

Madison

Equal parts hippie-mystic, gastronomist, and comic-book nerd, Madison is not your average Mormon. By day he works to protect Utah's wildlands with Southern Utah Wilderness Alliance. And by night he cooks, reads, and otherwise lives a pretty normal life. Madison takes great pride in being his niece’s and nephew’s favorite uncle, his three sister’s favorite brother, and his parent's favorite son (he has no brothers to compete with).
