This week on Hashtag History, we will be discussing the attempted assassination of Ronald Reagan. On March 30, 1981, President of the United States Ronald Reagan was shot outside of the Washington Hilton in Washington, DC, as he was leaving a speaking engagement. He was shot by a man named John Hinckley, Jr., a twenty-five year old man who had fallen in love with actress Jodie Foster after seeing her in the movie, Taxi Driver (which she starred in when she was twelve-years-old), and believed that if he successfully killed the President, that she would be impressed.Reagan was actually seriously injured during this attempt. When he was thrown into his limousine by his servicemen, they originally thought he had just broken a rib or something and that's why he was experiencing chest pain. But they discovered after he reached the hospital – where he collapsed – that Hinckley had successfully hit him with a bullet that had come within an inch of his heart. He miraculously recovered and was released a few weeks later.As for his would-be assassin, he was found Not Guilty by Reason of Insanity and was sent to a psychiatric hospital…that he was actually released from in 2021…so yes, he is out and about…so that's great.I don't want to spend this whole episode talking about just Reagan and Hinckley though because, one of the major pieces of this story that so many people neglect to tell, is that several of Reagan's staffers and local policemen were also wounded during the assassination attempt including White House press secretary James Brady who was hit in the head and, as a result, suffered from brain damage for the rest of his life. It's actually because of Brady and his wife that we have the Brady Law (or, the Brady Handgun Violence Prevention Act of 1993) which established federal background checks on firearms and a five-day waiting period for handgun purchases.Follow Hashtag History on Instagram @hashtaghistory_podcast for all of the pictures mentioned in this episode.Citations for all sources can be located on our website at www.HashtagHistory-Pod.com.

George Bush Sr. had the most to gain from President Reagan's death. To hide or conceal his involvement in the assassination attempt George Bush would have to either suppress or lie about his close ties with the shooter and the second gunman hiding on the roof (or "Bushy Knoll"). The story of BUSH KILLING REAGAN is so depraved that it is no wonder the story has never been told before.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Gordon B. Hinckley is remembered by many Latter-day Saints as a kind, media-savvy prophet who modernized the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He smiled easily, charmed journalists, built temples across the globe, and became the public face of Mormonism for over a decade.But behind the polished image lies a far more troubling record.In this episode of the Mormon News Roundup, we count down the Top 10 Fails of Gordon B. Hinckley, taking a hard look at the decisions, statements, and leadership patterns that caused real harm to members and damaged the church's credibility. From founding the secretive Ensign Peak Advisors fund, to misleading claims about church finances and humanitarian aid, to the City Creek Mall controversy, Hinckley's tenure was marked by secrecy, exaggeration, and image management.We also examine his homophobic rhetoric toward LGBTQ+ members, his misleading public statements about polygamy, his role in patriarchal leadership structures like the Proclamation on the Family, and the disastrous handling of the Mark Hofmann forgeries. Finally, we explore how Hinckley's massive temple-building program prioritized prestige and legacy over transparency, charity, and accountability.This video isn't about personal attacks — it's about power, authority, and accountability. When religious leaders claim divine guidance, their words and actions deserve scrutiny. Hinckley's failures shaped the faith, finances, and lives of millions, and their consequences are still being felt today.

Dziś będziemy badać historię Hinckley. Przy okazji powiem wam jak możecie dowiedzieć się dużo o historii waszego miasta. Zacznijmy od nazwy. Dlaczego Hinckley tak się nazywa?Dawno temu w tym miejscu był ogromny las. Ale w środku tego lasu była polana czyli takie miejsce bez drzew. Ta polana należała do Hincka. Wszyscy na to miejsce mówili “Hinck Ley” czyli “polana Hincka”. Nawet jak ten Hinck umarł to ludzie dalej tak nazywali to miejsce. Później te dwa słowa Hinck Ley złączyły się w jedno słowo Hinckley.Gdzie jeszcze można znaleźć informacje o tym mieście? Prawie tysiąc lat temu w Anglii rządził Wilhelm Zdobywca. Kazał on spisać ile ludzi i zwierząt mieszka w każdym mieście. Co napisano o Hinckley w Domesday Book?Wół to taki specjalny byk (czyli dorosły samiec krowy), który pomagał ludziom w pracy. Był spokojniejszy i silny, więc używano go jak żywego traktora. Dawno temu nie było maszyn. Rolnik brał pług, zaprzęgał do niego woły i one ciągnęły go przez pole. Pług rozcinał ziemię, a rolnik szedł za nim. Dzięki temu można było potem posiać zboże, z którego robiono chleb. Ale czemu król Wilhelm Zdobywca kazał napisać tą księgę?Hinckley to była kiedyś polana w lesie, na której ludzie zaczęli budować domy. Z czasem wycinali coraz więcej drzew i ta polana robiła się coraz większa. Na miejscach, gdzie wcześniej rósł las, powstawały pola. Rolnicy orali ziemię przy pomocy wołów i siali zboże. A z tego zboża powstawał chleb, który jedli mieszkańcy.Gdy w 1086 roku spisywano Domesday Book, w Hinckley zapisano 69 osób. Ale to nie byli wszyscy mieszkańcy - spisywano głównie dorosłych mężczyzn, którzy byli głowami gospodarstw. Wśród nich było 8 niewolników. Pozostałych 61 to byli ludzie, którzy mieli swoje gospodarstwa i ziemię. Większość z nich miała pewnie rodziny - żony i dzieci. Niewolnicy nie mieli własnych domów. Mieszkali u swoich panów i pracowali dla nich.Wilhelm Zdobywca, który kazał spisać tą księgę Domesday Book kazał też wszędzie budować zamki. Najsłynniejszy zamek zbudowany przez niego to Tower of Londyn. Czy w Hinckley też był zamek?Także w małym Hinckley był zamek, ale dziś pozostała po nim tylko ulica Castle Street.Gdy spisywano Domesday Book w Hinckley ludzie zajmowali się głównie uprawą zboża, ale później Hinckley stało się znane z czegoś innego.W dawnych czasach różne miasta słynęły z różnych rzeczy. W Anglii było miasto Sheffield, gdzie robiono noże, i Stoke-on-Trent, gdzie powstawały garnki. W Polsce z kolei Bolesławiec słynie z ceramiki, a Wieliczka z soli. A Hinckley? Hinckley było miastem pończoch.Mam dla was zagadkę: co łączyło dawnego króla Anglii z rolnikiem pracującym w polu w Hinckley? Obaj nosili pończochy! Dzisiaj zakładają je głównie kobiety, gdy chcą, żeby było im cieplej, ale kiedyś to był 'numer jeden' w szafie każdego mężczyzny. Np. rycerz pod zbroją też miał pończochy. Dlaczego nawet chłopcy nosili wtedy pończochy?Dopiero znacznie później wymyślono spodnie, które nosimy dzisiaj, a pończochy stały się częścią mody damskiej. Pończochy robiono w Hinckley od końca XVI wieku do końca XIX wieku czyli ponad 300 lat. W XX wieku Hinckly stało się znane z fabryk motocykli Triumph.Każde miasto ma swoje legendy, także Hinckley. Lokalna legenda jest związana z pubem Tin Hat. Co to znaczy po polsku? Miejscowy pub czyli gospoda nazywa się blaszany kapelusz, ale dlaczego? Legenda mówi, że jakiś pasterz przechwalał się, że potrafi wypić dużo piwa, że mógłby pić nawet z kapelusza. Właściciel pubu kazał więc miejscowemu kowalowi zrobić blaszany kapelusz, żeby sprawdzić, czy pasterz nie kłamał. Wyobraźcie sobie, jak trudno musi się pić z metalowego kapelusza, który nie ma ucha jak kubek!Chyba w każdej miejscowości na świecie mieszkał ktoś sławny. W Hinckley mieszkał pierwszy ortopeda w Anglii. Ale kto to jest ortopeda? Ortopeda to lekarz, który dba o to, żeby nasze kości były proste i zdrowe. Kiedyś, zamiast lekkiego gipsu, lekarze musieli być trochę jak inżynierowie. Robert Chessher, który mieszkał w Hinckley ponad 200 lat temu, budował specjalne maszyny z metalu, skóry i drewna. Jeśli ktoś miał bardzo słabą szyję lub chory kręgosłup, pan Chessher budował dla niego specjalny stelaż. Dzięki temu taka osoba mogła stać prosto i nie czuła bólu. Ludzie przyjeżdżali do Hinckley z całej Anglii, żeby ten słynny lekarz im pomógł.Inna słynna osoba to Ada Lovelace. Ada mieszkała niedaleko Hinckley. Dlaczego jest taka ważna? Bo Ada jest uznawana za pierwszą programistkę komputerową na świecie! I to w czasach, gdy nie było jeszcze prądu, a o prawdziwych komputerach nikt nawet nie marzył. Wtedy ona napisała pierwszy program komputerowy.Historia nie jest schowana tylko w grubych, nudnych książkach. Ona jest wszędzie wokół nas! Jeśli chcecie dowiedzieć się czegoś o miejscu, w którym mieszkacie, oto mój sprawdzony przepis na historyczne śledztwo:1. Zostań detektywem nazw ulic. Jeśli w Twoim mieście jest ulica Zamkowa, a zamku nie widzisz – to znak! Prawdopodobnie kiedyś tam stał. Szukaj nazw takich jak Garbarska (tam robiono skóry), Młyńska (tam stał młyn) czy rynków, gdzie dawno temu handlowano zwierzętami.2. Rozszyfruj nazwę miasta. Sprawdź, co oznacza nazwa Twojej miejscowości. Czy pochodzi od imienia założyciela, jak nasze Hinckley? A może od rzeki, lasu albo specyficznego ukształtowania terenu?3. Szukaj niezwykłych budynków. Znajdź najstarszy dom w okolicy. Czy ma małe okna? Dziwny dach? Zapytaj rodziców lub nauczycieli, kto w nim mieszkał 100 albo 200 lat temu. Może to był sławny lekarz jak Robert Chessher albo wynalazca?4. Trop lokalne legendy. Popytaj babcię, dziadka albo sąsiadów o najdziwniejsze opowieści związane z Twoją okolicą. Czy jest tam pub o dziwnej nazwie jak "Blaszany Kapelusz"? A może kamień, o którym mówią, że przyniósł go olbrzym? Każda taka legenda ma w sobie ziarnko prawdy!5. Sprawdź, co u was robiono. Zapytaj w lokalnym muzeum lub bibliotece, z czego słynęło Twoje miasto. Może robiono tam najlepsze buty na świecie, wydobywano sól albo – tak jak w Hinckley – produkowano miliony pończoch?6. Zostań badaczem starych ksiąg. Jeśli chcesz wiedzieć, kto dokładnie mieszkał w Twoim domu 100 albo 500 lat temu, możesz zajrzeć do starych rejestrów. W Anglii mamy słynną Domesday Book, która już prawie 1000 lat temu policzyła każdą krowę i każdego mieszkańca w każdej miejscowości nawet w Hinckley! Z kolei w Polsce niesamowite skarby kryją się w kościołach – dawniej to właśnie księża zapisywali w wielkich księgach, kto się urodził, kto brał ślub i czym się zajmował.Dowiedzieliście się, że prawie 1000 lat temu rządził tu potężny król, Wilhelm Zdobywca. Był tak dokładny, że w swojej słynnej księdze Domesday Book kazał policzyć dosłownie wszystko: każdego mieszkańca, każdą świnię, a nawet każdą krowę i woła w całym królestwie!Odkryliśmy też, że dawna moda była... dość zabawna! Przez setki lat w Anglii wszyscy chodzili w pończochach.

In Minnesota, high school students can earn college credit for proficiency in a language besides English. The Minnesota Bilingual Seals Program has been around since 2014 to help recognize multilingualism as an asset. The program recognizes 32 languages and this year for the very first time, a student was awarded a World Language Proficiency Certificate for Ojibwe. Tecumseh Fahrlander is a senior at Hinckley-Finlayson High School and is a member of the Mille Lacs Band of Ojibwe. He spoke with Minnesota Now host Nina Moini about the experience alongside Annie Huberty, the director of American Indian education at the Minnesota Department of Education.

This Day in Legal History: Ronald Reagan Assassination AttemptOn March 30, 1981, Ronald Reagan was shot in an assassination attempt outside the Washington Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C. The attack was carried out by John Hinckley Jr., who fired multiple shots as the president exited an event. Reagan was seriously wounded but survived after emergency surgery, while others, including Press Secretary James Brady, were also injured. The incident immediately triggered a high-profile federal criminal case against Hinckley. During trial, Hinckley's defense team argued that he was legally insane at the time of the shooting. The jury ultimately returned a verdict of not guilty by reason of insanity in 1982. This outcome shocked the public and sparked widespread debate about the use and limits of the insanity defense in criminal law.Critics argued that the standard allowed dangerous individuals to avoid accountability, while supporters emphasized the importance of recognizing severe mental illness in legal responsibility. In response, Congress and many states moved to tighten the rules governing insanity defenses. One major reform was the passage of the Insanity Defense Reform Act of 1984, which made it harder for defendants to succeed with such claims in federal court. The law shifted the burden of proof to defendants and narrowed the definition of legal insanity. The case also influenced how courts evaluate expert psychiatric testimony. Over time, Hinckley remained confined to a psychiatric institution rather than a traditional prison. His gradual release decades later continued to raise legal and ethical questions about mental illness and public safety. This event remains a defining moment in modern criminal law because it reshaped how courts balance mental health and criminal responsibility.Bank of America has agreed to pay $72.5 million to settle a proposed class action lawsuit alleging it helped facilitate Jeffrey Epstein's sex trafficking activities. The agreement, filed for preliminary approval in New York federal court, does not include any admission of wrongdoing by the bank. The plaintiff, identified as Jane Doe, described the settlement as a meaningful recovery for survivors. The proposed class includes women and girls who were abused by Epstein or his associates, including those who received compensation tied to sexual activity. Payments to class members will vary based on factors such as the severity and duration of abuse and any cooperation with investigations.Doe alleged that Bank of America ignored warning signs and allowed suspicious financial transactions linked to Epstein's operations, including accounts opened in her name despite red flags. The bank denied facilitating any illegal conduct but stated the settlement allows it to resolve the matter and provide closure. The plaintiff's attorneys may seek up to 30% of the settlement fund in fees. The court had previously dismissed claims against another defendant, Bank of New York Mellon, and narrowed the case against Bank of America. The judge also rejected an effort by the bank to pause proceedings while related government matters were clarified.The plaintiff and her legal team weighed the risks of trial, including the possibility of a lengthy appeals process that could delay compensation for survivors. As part of the settlement process, a fund administrator will determine individual awards using specific criteria tied to each claimant's experience. The case highlights ongoing legal efforts to hold financial institutions accountable for their potential role in enabling trafficking networks.BofA Will Pay $72.5M In Deal Ending Epstein Ties Allegations - Law360Four major law firms—Jenner & Block LLP, WilmerHale, Susman Godfrey LLP, and Perkins Coie LLP—have asked the D.C. Circuit to uphold lower court rulings that invalidated executive orders issued by Donald Trump targeting them. The firms argue the orders were unconstitutional, claiming they violated the First Amendment and other protections by restricting their ability to practice law. The measures included suspending security clearances, limiting access to federal buildings, and penalizing the firms for their clients and legal work.The firms contend the orders were retaliatory, pointing to Trump's criticism of their pro bono work and connections to investigations involving him. They argue the government cannot punish lawyers for representing certain clients or expressing particular viewpoints. Each firm emphasized that the orders interfere with core legal principles, including the right to counsel, free association, and access to the courts.The U.S. Department of Justice initially sought to drop its appeal of the lower court decisions but quickly reversed course and is now defending the executive orders. The firms highlighted this reversal as evidence that the orders are legally weak. They also argue that the government has failed to meaningfully dispute claims that the orders were motivated by retaliation.The dispute is now before the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, with oral arguments scheduled for May. The outcome could have significant implications for executive power and the independence of the legal profession.Firms Targeted By Trump Urge DC Circ. To Uphold EO Rulings - Law360Law firms targeted by Trump ask court to uphold rulings blocking executive orders | ReutersA federal judge reduced the prison sentence of Elizabeth Holmes by one year, lowering her term from just over 11 years after applying updated federal sentencing guidelines. Holmes had requested a two-year reduction, but the court granted only a partial decrease despite opposition from prosecutors. The judge found that although her fraud caused approximately $452 million in investor losses, prosecutors failed to show that any individual victim suffered “substantial financial hardship,” which is required under the revised guidelines.The court emphasized that financial harm must be evaluated relative to each victim's wealth, noting that large losses do not automatically qualify as substantial hardship for wealthy investors. Because the government did not provide specific evidence of such harm, Holmes qualified for a reduced sentence as a nonviolent, first-time offender. However, the judge limited the reduction to one year to maintain deterrence and reflect the seriousness of her conduct.Holmes was convicted in 2022 of defrauding investors in Theranos, the blood-testing startup she led alongside Ramesh Balwani. While her conviction included four counts of investor fraud, she was acquitted or not convicted on other charges. She began serving her sentence in 2023.Prosecutors argued against reducing her sentence, citing the scale of the losses, her limited restitution payments, and concerns about potential future misconduct. Holmes countered that investors knowingly took risks and were not financially devastated. The judge ultimately agreed that the legal standard for “substantial financial hardship” was not met.Elizabeth Holmes Gets 11-Year Prison Sentence Cut By A Year - Law360 UK This is a public episode.

On March 30, 1981, a tragic and shocking incident unfolded in Washington, D.C., when a troubled young man named John Hinckley Jr. opened fire as President Ronald Reagan exited the Hilton Hotel. The chaotic scene resulted in the shooting of four individuals, with President Reagan being the prime tarrget. Hinckley was swiftly apprehended by law enforcement, and his severe mental illness led to his commitment at St. Elizabeth's Psychiatric Hospital, where he would spend an astounding 41 years grappling with his delusions and troubled psyche. Over the decades, commentators and experts have delved into Hinckley's complex mental health struggles and the motives behind his violent actions. Now, after 45 years, he has chosen to share his side of the story through a memoir titled Who I Really Am, co-authored with Jason Norman. Today in this special episode, John Hinckley and Jason Norman engage in a candid conversation with Jill, where they will explore the intricate details of his life, his journey through mental illness, and the insights gained from his experiences.

CLICK HERE! To send us a message! Ask us a Question or just let us know what you think!A football game on TV, Howard Cosell's voice breaking the spell, and then a silence that never really ended. We start from that shared shock and pull a larger thread: how John Lennon's voice grew into something governments measured, feared, and tried to contain.We map the Beatles' improbable journey from pop to power, banned in the USSR yet copied onto “bone records” by kids who risked their futures just to hear a chord. Former Soviet leaders later admitted what censors couldn't stop: music can humanize an enemy and loosen the gears of a rigid system. Back in the States, Lennon's moral courage showed up in concrete ways, from refusing segregated audiences to standing with activists at the Free John Sinclair concert. That stance triggered surveillance, a deportation push, and a recognition in Washington that the youth vote—and Lennon's ability to mobilize it—could reshape elections.Then we return to the Dakota and everything that doesn't sit right. Conflicting medical recollections suggest a professional hit. Eyewitness stories diverge. Mark David Chapman lingers, reading The Catcher in the Rye, echoing a pattern that later brushes the Hinckley case and fuels MKUltra speculation. We don't claim a smoking gun; we lay out the record as it exists, with care and context. Around the edges, the world was changing fast: Reagan's incoming team, the Committee on the Present Danger, Euro-missile plans, and a new media landscape—CNN, soon MTV—ready to give Lennon a live line to millions. Pair that with signs the Beatles were edging toward shared studio time in 1981, and the stakes grow larger than one man with a pistol.What remains is the why. A voice that couldn't be bought, a platform that could fill streets, and a decade that was about to hinge on narratives of fear and force. We weigh the evidence, challenge the official story where it falters, and honor the cost of losing an artist who believed songs could be tools, not souvenirs. Listen, then tell us what you think—was it a lone gunman, or did policy and power have a heavier hand?If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a review. Your support helps us keep asking hard questions with open eyes.

As shots rang out on March 30, 1981 outside the Hilton Hotel in Washington, D.C., President Ronald Reagan and three others lie seriously wounded. Just two months after Reagan was sworn in as the 40th president, John Hinckley Jr. shocked the world because of his movie star obsession.What followed was chaos. America learned of the deep psychosis that led to Hinckley's obsession with actress Jodie Foster, and how, in his mind, he did it all for her. His trial gripped the nation. Many expected a guilty verdict, but his acquittal on grounds of insanity sparked outrage and forever changed how the law viewed mental illness.Now, for the first time, Hinckley tells his own story. He takes us through an early life of unfulfilled dreams, a music career and college degree that slipped away, and the descent into a mind overcome by delusion. He recounts the years spent in confinement at St. Elizabeth's Hospital, the slow climb toward recovery, and the people who helped him find his way back.A life defined by a single, horrific act becomes something more: a story of mental illness, redemption, and the long road to understanding the man behind one of America's most infamous moments.

All-Black basketball team the Harlem Globetrotters travelled to Hinckley, Illinois on 7th January, 1927 - setting them on a barnstorming journey through the Midwest, the nation, and eventually the world…  Their manager, Abe Saperstein, was obsessed with basketball, stitching together tours at a time when Black athletes were locked out of most professional leagues. His re-brand of the team to the “Harlem Globetrotters” symbolised Black culture and creativity at a time of sports segregation, even though the team were actually from Chicago. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly compare contrasting stories of how ‘the Savoy Big Five' evolved into the Globetrotters; explain why showboating, humour and spectacle were always part of the group's demonstrations, despite their immense talent; and examine how the team helped introduce America to Black sporting excellence…   Further Reading: • ‘The Harlem Globetrotters: 99 years of basketball, variety and ‘Showtime'' (The Athletic, 2025): https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/6118506/2025/02/10/harlem-globetrotters-black-history-month-99-years/ • ‘How Harlem Globetrotters founder Abe Saperstein shaped basketball as we know it today'  (The Times of Israel, 2024): https://www.timesofisrael.com/how-harlem-globetrotters-founder-abe-saperstein-shaped-basketball-as-we-know-it-today/ • ‘Best of the Harlem Globetrotters' (Guinness World Records, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cDQLhK-flVE #Sport #20s #Black #Racism #US Love the show?

Have we not had a prophet among us? Part of the gift of a prophet, seer and revelator is to see what's coming. That's the see-er part of seer. On September 23, 1995, President Hinckley announced and read The Family—A Proclamation to the World to the women of the church in a General Relief Society meeting. It reaffirmed so many things that are precious to us. God's eternal plan is about families. The plan of salvation is a family story.  In fact, the pre-mortal world was a place where we were nurtured by Heavenly Parents who were invested with extraordinary love in our growth and progress. It is not surprising that connection and relationships would be our foremost joy in this life. Our eternal souls were raised in a place of connection. It is what we are made for. It is an eternal yearning inside of us. Our heaven is not a place of lonely individuals who play harps alone on clouds, but a place of families and communities united together in love. It is a people who have learned to love, even when loving seems difficult.

Is the Family Proclamation a statement of policy? A document written by lawyers for the Church to use in amicus briefs against same-sex marriage? Did Pres. Hinckley commandeer the Relief Society meeting to present the Family Proclamation? Did the Relief Society Presidency feel excluded by not reviewing it in advance? Is it "just a matter of time" until the Church comes around and caves to social pressure to institute same-sex sealings?Matthew has written about these and other myths that have plagued Church members for too long. So has Angela. And now, so has Elder Ronald A. Rasband in his mic drop talk from this Conference.We're "bringing receipts" and laying down the truth: The Family Proclamation is revelatory and doctrinal. And it isn't going away!ResourcesTheFamilyProclamation.orgBusting Myths about the Family Proclamation by Matthew WatkinsDo We Proclaim the Proclamation? by Matthew Watkins“We Don't Know, So We Might as Well”: A Flimsy Philosophy for Same-Sex Sealings by Matthew WatkinsSeership and World Conferences: The Divine Origin and Inception of the Family Proclamation by Dr. Byron KorthDelivering the Family Proclamation: Insights from Former Relief Society President Elaine L.

After being nominated for an Academy Award for her role as a child prostitute in the 1976 film Taxi Driver, Jodi Foster gave up acting to go to college. It was there that her Oscar-nominated performance made her the target of a deranged stalker. That stalker, John Hinckley Jr., was obsessed with Jodie Foster. He wrote her letters and called her on the phone. He was convinced she needed to be saved and that he was the one to do it. And in 1981, in Washington, D.C., Jodie Foster was the unknowing inspiration for and motive behind Hinckley's attempted assassination of a sitting American President. This episode contains themes that may be disturbing to some listeners, including stalking and suicide.

My friend Russ Hinckely (mid 60s, married father of three, lives in Arizona, career in business) joins us to talk about his new book “Beyond Belief”. Russ's book focuses “not just what we hold in our minds and hearts, but what we DO and how we actually LIVE the teachings of Christ (from Ashlie Carnecelli)—and “how one can truly follow Jesus in walking the path rather than just believing in it (from Jeff Anderson).” “Beyond Belief” is a pragmatic look at what Jesus taught and the behaviors He modeled. While creeds highlight foundational elements of our beliefs, they are only the starting point to living His teachings. One Amazon reviewer writes “ Russ Hinckley's "Beyond Belief" where we are reminded to get back to the basics of what Jesus was all about.” If you are looking for a book to put into action Jesus's teachings to bless/help/heal others (and ourselves), please listen to this podcast and read/share Russ's powerful book. Thank you, Russ, for helping us move “beyond belief” to make the teachings of Jesus's actionable to bless others.

We sometimes reduce “faith-promoting” stories to those tidy endings—where miracles show up just in time, doubts vanish, and testimony replaces tension. But sometimes growth begins when the script falls apart. For Susan Meredith Hinckley and Cynthia Winward, these stories are nourishing a faith that looks like trust and transformation.  Susan and Cynthia are co-hosts of the At Last She Said It podcast and authors of a new book with the same title. They came to this work from different paths. For Cynthia, the Church just worked. She thrived—until her life took a turn at 40 and her certainty unraveled. For Susan, the discomfort was quieter. She says the Church always fit like an “itchy sweater”—a subtle, persistent misfit that kept her silent. But over time, what had become a “crisis of silence” became a call to speak up.For the past six years, Susan and Cynthia have been inviting women into conversations that began as honest exchanges between friends about big ideas and the real tensions of belonging to a church they both love and feel challenged by. What they've learned is that talking about hard things can be its own kind of faith practice—a way to bring your whole heart to your faith and your community, a way of being known. In this episode, they share practical wisdom for navigating Sundays when belief feels messy, offer a compass for making decisions when clarity is out of reach, and explore how using our voice can help transform hard things into a source connection with each other and a more intimate relationship with a God who loves us without conditions.We hope this conversation expands your imagination for what spiritual strength can look like—and invites you into a faith that's honest, evolving, and a true seedbed for growth.We're so excited to tell you about a new Faith Matters initiative called Organized Intelligence, supported by the Future of Life Institute. Our first gathering will take place November 4-5 in Salt Lake City, where you'll hear from scholars, creatives, technologists, and religious leaders. This gathering is for curious minds, and we would love to see you there!

Prior to announcing the Proclamation on the Family, President Hinckley highlighted a trend that plagued God's past people—and which plagues us today. How are we faring?

Throughout history and across religious traditions, countless individuals have been honored for their holiness and devotion. As members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we have this word in the name of our church—it is what we purport to be. But do we fully understand what that entails? Jamin and Ann Rowan recently led a study abroad trip exploring what it means to be and become a saint and on this week's episode, they share what they learned. 2:20- A Study Abroad They Couldn't Refuse 12:07- Peacemakers Needed Everywhere 22:15- The Sacrifices Saints Have Made To Follow Christ 26:34- Unreasonable Hospitality 33:55- Mission Calls Centuries Apart 38:10- Coming Back and Trying Again 39:59- Martyrs 42:41- The Magic of Real Places and Real Stories 46:23- President Hinckley's Mission Letter 52:07- Modern Latter-day Saints in Europe 57:55- The Power of Storytelling 1:04:12- What Does It Mean To Be All In the Gospel of Jesus Christ? “These differences within our families—our immediate families and within our larger human family—are what help us become like God is. We have to come in contact with people that are different than us and listen with those ears of the heart and learn to love each other better...” -Ann Rowan

We begin the episode with apologies to Sarah, who emailed us while in labor… again. Gerrit then sets the stage for a multi-part deep dive: Brigham Young, James K.

This week's ALL Together episode features Cynthia Winward and Susan Hinckley, hosts of a podcast and authors of a book called At Last She Said It. They started their podcast to amplify the unspoken thoughts and feelings of Latter-day Saint women who feel out of place. Cynthia and Susan discuss the power of hearing people's stories, embracing change as individuals and a living Church, and loving our family members as God does.

In this powerful, raw, and emotional conversation, Nathan Hinckley and his daughter Kayli open up about their journey through Mormonism — from deep devotion to painful disillusionment — and how faith, family, and unexpected truths collided at one of the most sacred moments: Kayli's wedding.From early seminary mornings and dreams of the Celestial Kingdom to patriarchal blessings, church culture clashes, and a heartbreaking faith crisis — this interview pulls no punches. Nathan, a once-devoted bishop and father, shares how his spiritual unraveling sent shockwaves through his family, culminating in a moment that changed everything at his daughter's temple wedding.How do you break the news to your family that you no longer believe — when your whole life has been built around it?How did Kayli handle growing up as a “perfect Mormon girl,” only to find herself questioning it all before adulthood?Topics explored:-Growing up Mormon in Tennessee-Spiritual perfectionism & scrupulosity-Patriarchal expectations vs self-identity-Leaving the Church and breaking generational cycles-Family dynamics around faith, control, and truth___________________YouTubeMormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!Help us continue to deliver quality content by becoming a donor today:One-time or recurring donation through DonorboxSupport us on PatreonPayPalVenmoOur Platforms:YouTubePatreonSpotifyApple PodcastsContact us:MormonStories@gmail.comPO Box 171085, Salt Lake City, UT 84117Social Media:Insta: @mormstoriesTikTok: @mormonstoriespodcastJoin the Discord
