1. HEART OF THE MATTER 1A. Record-Breaking Missionary Numbers — Pres. Oaks at New Mission Leader Seminar At the 2026 Seminar for New Mission Leaders (June 18–21, Provo MTC), President Dallin H. Oaks announced that the Church will soon have the largest number of full-time missionaries in its history, surpassing the current 87,000+ serving worldwide. The surge is driven by the first wave of 18-year-old sister missionaries (following the November policy change lowering the minimum age from 19) and the addition of 55 new missions in July, bringing the global total to 506. President Oaks outlined three characteristics defining the restored Church: (1) the fulness of doctrine (including eternal marriage between a man and a woman); (2) priesthood authority and keys; and (3) a unique testimony of Christ grounded in modern revelation and the First Vision. Sister Kristin Oaks also spoke, sharing six core truths missionaries teach.

New Hymn ‘Welcome Home’ — The Story Behind It Composer Andrea Brett explains how a 2017 encounter with Demetrius O’Neal — a recent convert serving as a greeter at a Spokane ward on a snowy Sunday morning — inspired her hymn ‘Welcome Home,’ now published in the new Hymns for Home and Church. Brett submitted 10 pieces when the global hymnbook was announced in 2018; this was the only one she’d written before the call. She received confirmation of its selection in February 2025, then had a full-circle moment when she and O’Neal sat near each other at the April 2025 General Conference as the Tabernacle Choir performed it. O’Neal’s name appears in the hymn’s tune name as a tribute. The hymn is now translated and sung globally. Source: Church Newsroom / Richie’s document 1C. Family History Records Are a ‘Sacred Thread’ — Elder Bragg at International Archivists Congress Elder Mark A. Bragg, General Authority Seventy and executive director of the Church’s Family History Department and FamilySearch International, was a keynote speaker at the III Congress of Archivists: Digital Archive Expo (DA-EXPO), held June 8–12 in Astana, Kazakhstan. He called family history records ‘the thin but sacred thread’ tying people together across generations, and argued that records are ‘in a very real sense, witnesses.’ Elder Bragg framed the digital revolution in genealogy in moral terms: for most of history, access to records was shaped by ‘proximity, resources and specialized knowledge,’ but today a record created in one place can be preserved in another, indexed in a third, and discovered by someone on the other side of the world. ‘The reach is astonishing. The speed is breathtaking. The possibilities are almost beyond measure.’ He also said that ‘access is an act of kindness’ — records only fulfill their divine purpose when they are found, understood, and used. His core message: preserving memory is an act of hope. ‘It says that the past is not dead to us and that the future deserves more than fragments.’ Source: Church News, June 17, 2026 Angle: Great ‘quiet but meaningful’ story — LDS family history going global and leveling the playing field for genealogy worldwide. 1D. America Gives — All 50 States Receive Food Donations The Church completed a milestone in its ‘America Gives’ initiative by delivering a shipping container of food to Hilo, Hawaii — marking all 50 states reached. The initiative aims to deliver 250 truckloads of food nationwide in 2026 to celebrate the U.S. 250th anniversary. In Hawaii, the food went to The Food Basket, distributed to 10 local nonprofits. Notably, 42% of residents on the island of Hawaii face food insecurity — the state’s highest rate. Rosie Rios, chair of America 250 and former U.S. Treasurer, praised the milestone. Local Methodist pastor Ted Lesnett said recipients will know ‘when they were hungry, someone cared.’ Source: Church Newsroom / Richie’s document 1E. Church Donates $250,000 NZD to Christchurch Anglican Cathedral Rebuild The Church announced a NZ$250,000 donation (June 19, 2026) toward the restoration of Christchurch’s iconic Anglican Cathedral — damaged in the February 2011 earthquake. Elder Peter F. Meurs (Pacific Area President) and Anglican Bishop Peter Carrell presided at the announcement. The donation comes as the project faces a $45M funding shortfall and an overall $219M budget. The Christchurch City Council has offered $15M contingent on government and Anglican Church matches. Notably, a New Zealand Buddhist community made a similar gift in 2023 — the LDS donation continues a cross-faith pattern of support for the heritage project.

Central America Humanitarian Blitz — 5 Projects, 500,000+ People In late May and early June 2026, the Church announced five humanitarian projects across Central America (with Sister J. Anette Dennis, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency, representing the Church). Projects include: the ‘Windows of Light’ eyecare program in El Salvador (350,000+ screenings to date); safe water access for 250,000+ in Belize, Guatemala, Honduras, and Nicaragua (with UNICEF); nearly 750 computers/tablets donated to 66 educational institutions in Guatemala; and medical equipment for the ‘La Mascota’ children’s hospital in Nicaragua. Source: Church Newsroom, June 2026 2. FAITH & DOCTRINE 2A. President Christofferson in Philadelphia & Toronto A busy week of ministry for President D. Todd Christofferson: He offered the invocation at Becket’s Canterbury Medal Gala in Philadelphia (multifaith event celebrating religious liberty), alongside Elder Gary E. Stevenson and others. The group also visited the Liberty Bell and Independence Hall — fitting, ahead of America’s 250th. Christofferson reflected on D&C 101 and the Constitution’s purpose to protect ‘all flesh.’ From Philadelphia, he and Sister Christofferson traveled to Toronto, meeting 250+ missionaries in the Canada Toronto Mission weeks before it divides into three missions (Toronto West, Toronto East, and Montreal). He also spoke to hundreds of LDS youth, with one — Amelia Fischer — saying ‘no amount of words can describe how I felt tonight.’ Source: Richie’s document / Church Newsroom 2B. BYU Scholar Study: Religion Adds 7.6 Years to Life The BYU Wheatley Institute is releasing three reports analyzing 3,000 of the most scientifically rigorous studies (culled from 60,000+ papers by Duke University) on religion and health. Key findings: 33/34 studies show improved social health; 10/11 show improved mental health; 7/8 show improved physical health. Regular worshippers live an average of 7.6 years longer (up to 13.7 years longer for African Americans). A ‘landmark finding’: 256 studies show religion prevents/aids recovery from substance abuse (vs. 6 showing negative impact). Author Loren Marks recommends public health frameworks treat religious involvement like exercise recommendations. Source: Richie’s document 2C. Elder Soares Testifies in the Philippines Elder Ulisses Soares completed a two-week ministry in the Philippines (mid-May 2026), meeting with 600+ young single adults in Cebu, 450+ in Quezon City, and 340+ missionaries at the Philippines MTC. His recurring message: ‘His arms are extended to all of us.’ The Philippines has more than 905,000 Latter-day Saints — the Church’s fourth-largest national membership. Two new temples were also dedicated in the Philippines this month: the Davao Philippines Temple (Elder Renlund, May 3) and the Bacolod Philippines Temple (Elder Andersen, May 31). Source: Church Newsroom, June 17, 2026 3. CULTURE & CURIOSITIES 3A. LDS Author in Everyman’s Library — A First BYU biology and bioethics professor Steven L. Peck has reportedly become the first Latter-day Saint author included in the prestigious Everyman’s Library series (publishing canonical English fiction since 1906). His 2012 novella A Short Stay in Hell — a philosophical horror story about a Mormon man condemned to an afterlife library containing every possible book — went viral on BookTok and found a new audience. A literature historian noted: ‘No Mormon or Mormon-adjacent writer that I know of has ever been featured in this prestigious series.’ The Salt Lake Tribune covered the story, noting the irony that a theological horror story marks one of the most significant moments in LDS literary history. Source: Salt Lake Tribune / Richie’s document 3B. The Sasine Family — 40 Countries Before Age 1 Keith and Chelsea Sasine, an LDS couple stationed in Germany (Keith is an Army oral surgeon), made history in November 2025 by taking their youngest daughter Mia to 40 countries before her first birthday (March–November 2025), using a Honda Odyssey for European road trips. The family of six (including Izzy, 10; Abby, 9; and John, 4) attends local wards wherever they travel — a faith anchor the couple says strengthened their testimony and taught their kids the importance of the Sabbath globally. They’re planning a move to Colorado Springs in 2026. Source: Richie’s document 3C. Jen Affleck (Secret Lives of Mormon Wives) Expecting Baby #4 Jen Affleck, 27-year-old star of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Dancing with the Stars alum, announced June 18 that she and husband Zac Affleck are expecting their fourth child. She shared the news on Instagram captioned ‘Chapter Four.

Subscribe to our YouTube channel On our political radar this week… In the first days of Donald Trump's Middle East War, he proclaimed that the only acceptable end was “unconditional surrender.” He didn't specify WHO needed to surrender. This week, we got the answer. Iran wins permanent control of the straits of Hormuz, keeps its nuclear program, and gets around a half-trillion-dollars in direct aid and unfrozen assets. Trump got a lobster dinner at Versailles. Americans got the bill for tens-of-billions of dollars for bombs, drones and downed aircraft … and 13 American families got the ultimate bad news about their loved ones in the military. © Clay Jones – https://claytoonz.substack.com Trump got elected by promising to Drain the Swamp. His many grifts have actually expanded the swamp for him, his family and his cronies. Now he's created a real-life swamp with his $14-million paint job of the Reflecting Pool … which has gone from American Flag Blue to an algae-filled puke green. It's the one American landmark that really should be named after him. Still on the subject of expensive vanity projects run amuck – when Trump announced his Ballroom Project, he said it would cost $200-million, paid completely through donations. That, like everything else under Trump, wasn't even close to the truth. The Washington Post reports the latest cost estimate from Clark Construction – winners of the no-bid construction contract – is $600-million (a 200 percent cost overrun) with half of that coming from taxpayers. The Post reports that Trump knew the real cost before he announced the project and promised the no-cost-for-taxpayers. Trump is also screwing up Michigan's economy a little more. A new analysis from the Lansing-based Anderson Economic Group says Trump’ s delay in opening the Gordie Howe International Bridge is costing $6-to-$7-million a week in direct costs to bridge operators and taxpayers, with even more potential costs to Michigan auto manufacturers.  The battle is entering the final stages in the Republican battle for the party's gubernatorial nomination with much of the candidates' efforts aimed at an audience of one. Will Donald Trump endorse? And if he does, will it matter?  State House Speaker Matt Hall is projecting another stalemate on a state budget, demanding Senate Democrats move some House-passed GOP bills before he will consider funding the state. It comes as state bean-counters report tax collections are running well ahead of projections. Total revenues are $370-million above initial estimates. An NFL team has become the latest proxy for the political wars. The Republicans who run Indiana have promised incentives of around $1-billion to move from Chicago to nearby Hammond, Indiana. Illinois has balked at the idea of taxpayer subsidies for the owners of the team that's worth an estimated $9-billion, and booked profits of $75-million in the last reported year. A billion for billionaires … it's the GOP mantra.

From growing up in Kentucky to three decades at NBC as one of its most reliable broadcasters, Tom Hammond brings the stories of a career in racing and sports to the Ron Flatter Racing Pod. Hammond talks about his earliest days not only in Lexington, Ky., radio but also in going to the track and getting involved with horses. He even spins a yarn about an early job as the announcer at a sales ring. Hammond majored in animal husbandry at the University of Kentucky, an achievement that translated well to his time covering races on national television. In a business that often rewards sizzle before the steak, Hammond discusses his staying power and all the years he hosted the Breeders' Cup and Triple Crown races, complete with post-parade nuggets that became his signature. Some of the great games and sports events that he has witnessed also are sprinkled in this conversation, and Hammond talks about how he is spending his retirement. Here is a hint. They race horses two months a year near his home in Lexington. Co-hosts John Cherwa of the Los Angeles Times and Keith Nelson of Fairmount Park offer their popular host chat. The Ron Flatter Racing Pod via Horse Racing Nation is available via free subscription from Apple, Firefox, iHeart and Spotify as well as HorseRacingNation.com.

Backlogged NFL news including the ongoing Brandon Aiyuk mess with the 49ers, Pat McAfee's massive ESPN deal, Aaron Donald rumors, Vikings tackle situation, and the Bears potentially moving to Hammond, Indiana. Plus, early buzz around Jager Burton and why Packers fans should pump the brakes on the hype.

Plus, early buzz around Jager Burton and why Packers fans should pump the brakes on the hype.  

In the second hour, Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes listened and reacted to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' comments about his growing comfort in head coach Ben Johnson's offensive system. After that, the guys reacted to an interesting report about the Bears exploring potential stadium sites in Hammond, Indiana.

In the Best of Mully & Haugh this week, Hammond mayor Thomas McDermott joined the show to share an update on how the Bears are progressing with their stadium development project in northwest Indiana; Tribune reporter Brad Biggs joined the show to share his takeaways from Bears minicamp; and Mike Mulligan and David Haugh reacted to Bears quarterback Caleb Williams' comment that he doesn't care where the organization builds a new stadium.

Ben interrupts his road trip and Dr D puts down his newborn baby long enough to tell you what's going on. Firstly…no one believes the Bears are going to Hammond and no one cares if they do. Susana Mendoza outflanks Vallas and Willie Wilson, locking up the MAGA vote in the mayor's race.

How do you escape incrementalism in a world that rewards sameness? How do you stop solving the same problems differently and start thinking in ways that create seismic change? My guest Will Hammond believes the answer starts with seeing creativity not as a talent for the lucky few, but as a skill, a discipline, and in many ways a responsibility. But today is about more than creativity. It's about asking better questions, thinking better, and doing what it takes to break free. In this episode of Insight Out, I sit down with Will Hammond, a creative leader who has spent years running major agencies including Saatchi & Saatchi and DDB, and is now on a mission to teach left brain thinkers how to unlock elite creative thinking. We dive deep into the hidden trap that keeps most leaders stuck in incremental growth and how to break free from it. Throughout our conversation, Hammond shares powerful stories and real world examples that bring his concepts to life. Like the time a creative director tendered his entire department's resignations, dated six months out, as a commitment device to force breakthrough work. Or the envelope exercise where team members wrote down their wildest dreams for the year, sealed them shut, and achieved every single goal in eight months instead of twelve. And then there's the Emerald Nuts Super Bowl story, a powerful lesson in solving a distribution problem through perception rather than logistics. He then breaks down the key practices of an elite creative thinker: why subtraction is more powerful than addition when trying to unlock better ideas, how to know if you're solving a business problem or a thinking problem, and why "stop waiting for permission" might be the most underrated leadership advice of all. Hammond doesn't just leave us with theory. He offers practical exercises you can use on a Tuesday at 2 pm to start thinking differently today. Join us as we explore these insightful themes and discover how elite creative thinking can reshape not just your business, but your life. In this episode, we discuss: [00:00] Introducing Will Hammond [03:31] The bomb blast, the mugging, and the Palisades fire [05:39] Why “creativity” became a trigger word  [14:42] How to make creativity cultural in a business [18:59] The portfolio idea [21:55] The Saatchi & Saatchi resignation bet [24:24] “What is the biggest role your company can play in society?” [32:52] Why subtraction beats addition [36:42] Solving the wrong problem because it's framed too narrowly [44:33] Seismic growth vs. incremental growth [47:23] Diagnosing a thinking problem vs. a business problem [50:50] What underperforming and “cruising” companies have in common [52:36] What to diagnose first when brought in to help a leadership team [59:07] Where to find Will and how to work with him Notable Quotes [04:31] "The more we set a goal, the more we drive toward something – opportunities suddenly start appearing that you didn't have before." – Will Hammond [05:07] "The act of writing something down – it is now real, because it exists in the world. If you have a goal and you just have it in your head, it's kind of not really a goal." – Will Hammond [07:19] "Creativity is solving problems. Your broom breaks. You don't have another broom. You grab a stick and duct tape. That is being creative." – Will Hammond [16:55] "When everybody in a company is excited about kicking the competition's butt, you've bonded everybody against a singular mission. It breaks down silos." – Will Hammond [25:17] "Every single company in the world is in service of another human somewhere else." – Will Hammond [30:30] "Nobody gets promoted for doing their job. People get promoted because they have an idea that they execute that brings more revenue or makes people happier." – Will Hammond [32:15] "Don't ask or wait for permission. Just do it. There is no such thing as 'should.'" – Will Hammond [35:16] "In the craziest thing we could do is a golden thread your brain would never have gotten to because it's too scared." – Will Hammond [41:22] "If you appear big, people take you seriously." – Will Hammond [44:35] "Seismic growth and incremental growth don't take more energy. The only difference is dedication." – Will Hammond [51:34] "If you rest on your laurels, you're going backwards. Even if you are moving forwards, it hasn't caught up with you yet. But you will be behind the eight ball." – Will Hammond [56:00] "The greater your vision that you bring to AI, the more powerful it is." – Will Hammond Will Hammond Website: https://www.backwardbrilliance.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/will-hammond Email: will@backwardbrilliance.com Billy Samoa Saleebey LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/billysamoa/ Email: ⁠billy@podify.com⁠ and ⁠saleebey@gmail.com⁠  Insight Out  Website: ⁠https://www.insightoutshow.com/ Learn more about your ad choices.

Callers celebrated the potential Indiana move as the ultimate humiliation for a franchise that's been in Chicago for over 100 years, complete with brutal jokes about Hammond and the death of Soldier Field. Josh Jacobs drama took center stage as fans hoped he's innocent and ready for Week 1, while still keeping it real about the off-field situation. Uncle Rico and others chopped it up about Christian Watson's contract steal and why Micah Parsons missing time isn't the end of the world for Green Bay. This episode is brought to you by PrizePicks!

Matt Spiegel and Laurence Holmes shared what they've heard from sources in recent days since the Bears announced they're moving forward with their stadium development project in Hammond.

Is Indiana the inevitable new home for the Bears, or is the leap toward Hammond just a stealthy negotiation tactic to put pressure on Illinois? The team announced Friday that its board of directors has voted to push forward with developing a stadium in Hammond, Ind., even though an exact site has not been selected yet. So are Chicago and Arlington Heights really out of the running? Will the fans follow the team to Hammond? How did we get here? In The Loop digs in. Our panel today: Indiana State Rep. Earl Harris, Jr.; Cheryl Raye-Stout, WBEZ sports contributor; Prof. Deborah Carroll, director, UIC's Government Finance Research Center.

The Chicago Bears are officially heading to Hammond, Indiana after the Illinois legislative session ended with no stadium deal, leaving the Bears with nowhere to go in Chicago. Ryan breaks down why this outcome actually makes financial sense for Hammond — and why it's a slow-motion disaster for a Chicago already hemorrhaging businesses, residents, and cultural institutions. Ryan zeroes in on the cope: Bears fans who've spent decades weaponizing Chicago's size against Packer fans have now been stripped of their most powerful argument. While he acknowledges the genuine tragedy for honest Bears fans who kept it about football, he's got nothing but mockery for the "Chicagoland" spin doctors trying to pretend this move is anything but what it is. Plus: a data-heavy look at the corporate exodus from Illinois — Boeing, Caterpillar, Citadel, Morton Salt — and why the Bears leaving is a symptom of a compounding crisis Chicago can't cope its way out of.
