Find joy in the process of building your speaking business, and surround yourself with mentors and resources to support your growth.   “Our habits, the habits that we develop, positive momentum habits and negative momentum habits, we have both. We have those habits that push us, propel us forward, that get us excited, that get us moving, that get us doing, and then we have those habits that are just like anchors that we throw out behind us."- Christoph Merrill About the guest, Christoph Merrill: Christoph Merrill, known as the Habit Freak, is a transformative habit strategist and podcast host based in American Fork, Utah.

Hosts: Maura Carabello & Taylor Morgan Appeals court rules on mail-in ballot ‘grace period’More than 20 states around the country accept mail-in ballots after Election Day, so long as it was postmarked before on or Election Day. The 5th Circuit Court of Appeals recently ruled that the ‘grace period’ shouldn’t be allowed, siding with the Republican Party, which brought forth the earlier suit. What could this ruling mean for voters in Utah – if anything at all? The KSL at Night hosts break it down. Major newspapers withhold presidential endorsementsThe Washington Post and Los Angeles Times have both decided to withhold endorsing any presidential candidate this election cycle. It goes against what they’ve done for many, many previous presidential races. The reasons for the lack of endorsement varies between the two publications, but the effect and outrage from many is the same. Does it actually matter for media organizations to endorse a candidate? Are conspiracy theories affecting voter turnout in Salt Lake County?There’s been a resurgence in conspiracy theories around the election this year, especially as it relates to mail-in voting and voting machines. The bogus accusations are leading to harassment against election officials and workers, plus it’s affecting rates of early voting. How could these conspiracy theories be affecting early voter turnout? How about here in Salt Lake County? The KSL at Night hosts discuss. Examining the role of money in local campaigns: Do ‘deep pockets’ still matter?We all know that national elections require a lot of money in order to have a chance at success. But what about on a smaller scale in local elections? Do ‘deep pockets’ matter in those smaller races? KSL at Night hosts Maura Carabello and Taylor Morgan share their thoughts – using their years of experience – and draw a line between races that need lots of money and those that don’t.

Both made the ballots as write-in candidates, and it sparked disagreement and controversy because of the identical last names. Lyman/Clawson sued Lyman/Lyman, and the latter has now withdrawn from the race. We discuss the legal and political parts of this new development. Abortion, transgender rights, education take center stage in CD-4 debateIncumbent Republican Representative Burgess Owens and Democratic challenger Katrina Fallick-Wang took to the debate stage last night as they try to woo voters in Utah’s 4th Congressional District.

It comes following investigations showing roughly 1,000 indigenous children died at these schools. We hear what Pres. Biden had to say during his apology.

Julie King, Member of the Alpine School District Board of Education supports Proposition 14 and joins the program to share her view of the issue. Demographics and their relationship to politicsDemographics play heavily into politics. Whether it’s the age of the voter – or the age of the candidate – there’s often lots of discussion on how an age affects a person’s vote or ability to run. And then there’s geography – our country is split up into states, counties, districts, etc. How does that affect politics? KSL at Night hosts Leah Murray and Greg Skordas share their thoughts. ‘Why is everything so political nowadays?’You’ve probably heard the question – or even asked it yourself: ‘why is everything so political nowadays?’ Has it always been like this? Yes and no. According to Weber State University political science professor Leah Murray, everything is political whether or not you want it to be. We finish off the week with a deep discussion on the political influences and nature of everything in life.

Jennifer Roach is a licensed mental health counselor living in American Fork, Utah. She joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints four years ago after being in the Protestant church her whole life. She currently serves as a Gospel Doctrine teacher in her ward. Jennifer is the recipient of this year's "John Taylor Defender of the Faith" award and the BH Robert's Research Grant. Her research primarily focuses on issues that arise when sexual abuse happens in churches. Jennifer does a weekly podcast for FAIR Latter-day Saints that focuses on questions that arise about our faith from Evangelicals. She also teaches as an adjunct for Brigham Young University-Idaho. Highlights 01:50 Kurt introduces Jennifer Roach and her background as a therapist for sexual abuse. 03:30 Jennifer will speak on four specific claims pertaining to the Church and sexual abuse and seven things that the Church does to go above and beyond what most churches do to help and protect youth. 7:00 Jennifer addresses some of the biggest questions that people have. One big question that people have is, “Is there more sexual abuse in our church or not?” Sometimes the media twists things to make it seem that way. 8:30 Boy Scout records data on abuse. Jennifer reviewed and researched all these cases from the past 80 years and was able to find how cases the Church of Jesus Christ has compared to other churches. Around 5.6% of the abuse cases were Latter-day Saint related. 19:10 Why doesn't the Church do background checks? Jennifer explains the three issues with background checks. The issue of delayed disclosure. Most people don't disclose the abuse they received until they're in their 50s to 70s. Background checks are not thorough. It's not a deep dive into someone's past. It only shows convicted crimes but not accusations. It only covers the past 7 years. 29:30 The danger of telling people that someone has been background checked. We believe that means this person is squeaky clean and they can be trusted. It really means that they don't have convictions and they aren't on the sex offenders list but it does not mean they are safe. 32:20 Jennifer talks about the case from the previous year. The man passed the federal background check every year despite doing horrific things to his own children and none of it was on his record. 34:20 The Church's helpline. There have been a lot of claims accusing the Church's helpline of hiding abuse but if we look deeper into the case we find most of these claims are untrue. 38:00 Why do we need a helpline? It helps leaders know what to report. Each state's laws are different. The helpline helps bishops fulfill their legal responsibilities and get the correct help for the victim. 48:00 There are standard best practices when working with youth and the Church follows all of them. They are all in the handbook. Another concern is there isn't always a window in the bishop's office. However, a youth can take a parent, leader, or friend into the bishop's office. It's in the handbook. 53:10 What is the Church doing that goes above and beyond those gold standard things in child protection? The helpline Disfellowshipping Gender specific leaders for young women The member number system Existing associations (go to church with your neighbors who know you) Being sustained Being called 1:10:50 How can we be better at detecting abuse that is currently going on? Most of the time kids disclose abuse by accident. They normally aren't going to disclose it to you directly. 1:22:50 Is there anything else we can do to help stop abuse?
