Welcome to another episode of LDS Discussions! Today we are joined by Brian Buchanan to discuss the William Clayton Diaries.For decades, the William Clayton Diaries have occupied a near-mythical place in Mormon history. Hidden away in the First Presidency vault, copied in secret, fought over in court, leaked to researchers, and cited in some of the most controversial debates surrounding Joseph Smith and plural marriage, these journals have one of the most fascinating histories of any historical document in the Latter-day Saint tradition. In this episode, we trace the remarkable journey of William Clatyon's Nauvoo journals from the 1840s to the present day. We explore how historians such as James Allen, Dean Jessee, Leonard Arrington, Thomas Alexander, Andrew Ehat, Scott Faulring, and others gained access to these records, why the Church restricted them for so many years, and how copies eventually found their way into the hands of independent researchers and critics. We also examine the legal battle surrounding the journals, the role of Jerald and Sandra Tanner in publishing portions of them, the impact of the Mark Hofmann era, and the ongoing debates over access, transparency, and historical scholarship within Mormonism. With Yale University Press preparing the first complete scholarly edition of the William Clayton Diaries, this is the perfect time to revisit one of the most important archival stories in Mormon history. We discuss the discovery and preservation of Clayton's journals, the First Presidency vault and restricted documents, specific transcripts that were created for the Clayton diaries, how those transcriptions leaked out into the public and the lawsuit on these leaked transcripts. We also lightly discuss the recent news that additional parts of Clayton's diaries have been released to the public and the debate around whether Joseph Smith was actually a polygamist. Whether you're interested in Mormon history, archival controversies, historiography, or the debate over Joseph Smith's polygamy, this episode provides the essential backstory behind one of the most important historical sources from Nauvoo. Be sure to join us for the next episode where we share some of the most controversial and exciting entries from William Clayton's journals!___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

The future belongs to organizations that invest in people as much as they invest in technology. Whether building stronger communities, developing emerging leaders, or reducing human cyber risk, lasting success comes from creating environments where individuals are informed, connected, engaged, and empowered to contribute at their highest level. Recorded live at the Beyond 26 Conference in Salt Lake City, Utah, this special episode brings together two dynamic technology leaders who are helping shape the future of the IT channel from very different—but equally important—perspectives. Brook Lee, Senior Director of Community at Rev.io, and Nihil Morjaria, Chief Revenue Officer at usecure, share insights on leadership, community building, cybersecurity, and the evolving role of human behavior in technology. Brook discusses the power of authentic relationships, meaningful conversations, and creating communities where MSPs can learn and grow together. Nihil explores why Human Risk Intelligence is becoming a critical pillar of modern cybersecurity as AI-driven threats increasingly target people rather than systems. Together, their perspectives reveal a common theme: technology alone does not drive success—people do.   Highlights include:  People remain the most important factor in business growth, innovation, and cybersecurity. The "secret sauce" behind meaningful engagement: listen more, talk less, and create genuine connections. How Rev.io is helping MSPs strengthen operations and community collaboration.   What Human Risk Intelligence means and why it is transforming cybersecurity strategies How AI is changing both business opportunities and cyber threats. Why security awareness programs should focus on culture, behavior, and proactive participation. The growing importance of measuring human risk posture and organizational resilience.   Follow Brook and Nihil on LinkedIn and visit rev.io as well as usecure.io   Brook is also offering our listeners an incredible resource: The Vendor Situationship

Utah's wildfire risk is surging — and humans are the number one cause. From debris burning to fireworks to arson, we break down how human-caused wildfires have been categorized since 2020 and why Governor Cox is asking Utahns to skip the fireworks this Fourth of July, even as the state celebrates America's 250th birthday. As one police chief put it, enforcing a ban in fireworks-loving Utah would be like "fighting a tidal wave with a teaspoon." Then, parade season is here and Utahns are already staking out spots weeks in advance — where do you draw the line? Plus, KSL News Daily podcast host Maria Shilaos joins us in-studio to talk about the new podcast, Salt Lake City rolls out new rules for short-term rental licenses, a common travel mistake that could void your passport mid-trip, and the AI question of the day.   KSL Brightside streams live weekdays 12–3 PM, with a YouTube-exclusive live stream from 12–1 PM and radio plus YouTube from 1–3 PM.

What happens when a trusted Mormon leader learns about child sexual abuse –and choses not to report it? In this powerful and heartbreaking episode, Rebecca Gooden and her son Matthew share their family's story of abuse, betrayal, and institutional failure within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Years after discovering that her husband, Shawn Gooden, had sexually abused two of her younger brothers, Rebecca found herself confronting a devastating reality: church leaders had known about the abuse and failed to act. Despite allegations involving child sexual abuse, Shawn continued to receive leadership callings, serving in bishoprics, high councils, and eventually as a bishop and stake presidency counselor. The story becomes even more troubling when Pennsylvania Stake President Rhett Hintze learned of the abuse in 2020. As a mandatory reporter under Pennsylvania law, Hintze was later charged with failure to report child abuse. Although the charges were ultimately dropped, many questions remain about how church leaders handled the case, why victims received little to no support, and why Hintze was later promoted to an Area Seventy. Throughout this interview Rebecca and Matthew discuss Shawn Gooden's abuse and eventual excommunication, the impact of abuse on victims and families, mandatory reporting laws and clergy responsibilities, how the Church handles abuse allegations, the doctrine of discernment, and institutional cover-ups. They also discuss why they ultimately stepped away from the Mormon church and Rebecca shares how she has now moved closer to healing, self-discovering (now calling herself Eloise), and greater empowerment. This episode explores difficult but important questions about accountability, victim protection, and whether religious institutions truly prioritize the vulnerable when abuse is reported. If you or someone you know has experienced abuse, we encourage you to contact local authorities, licensed therapists, and survivor support organizations. ___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Welcome to another episode of the People of Packaging Podcast, recorded live right here at the Label King Studios in Salt Lake City. I am your host, Adam Peek, and today we are diving deep into the future of packaging design, consumer psychology, and artificial intelligence.Our guest today is Ankit Dhawan, the founder of Bluepill.ai. Ankit has an incredible background, moving from India to the United States to complete his masters at Cornell before leading product for the global marketing team at Amazon. With over seven years of deep experience in AI, Ankit is solving one of the most frustrating, expensive, and analog processes in our industry: consumer insights and package testing.In this episode, we run a live demo of the Bluepill.ai software using a real-world test case: Miss Essie's BBQ Sauce, a fantastic local brand here in Utah.Here is what we cover:* The Matrix Motivation: The story behind the name Blue-pill.ai and why taking the blue pill means choosing to stay in a perfectly simulated consumer environment.* The $140 Billion Problem: Package testing and market research traditionally cost fifteen thousand to twenty-five thousand dollars per study, taking anywhere from four to eight weeks. Bluepill.ai drops that down to under ten minutes.* Digital Twins and Micro-Personas: How the software uses real human behavioral data, qualitative interviews, and purchase signals to predict exactly how specific demographics will react to your package on the shelf.* The Miss Essie's Shelf Test: We look at the actual heatmap data comparing Miss Essie's to heavy hitters like Sweet Baby Ray's and Stubbs, highlighting packaging strengths like practical dispensers and areas to improve like pale illustrations.* Ironclad Data Security: Why testing your proprietary designs with AI is actually much safer than human panels, ensuring your upcoming product launches never leak to your competitors.We also have some fun debating geography, including my infamous shouting match at the Delhi airport over whether a city of five hundred thousand people actually exists.Ankit's tool changes the game from subjective guessing to objective, data-driven decision-making, allowing brands to iteratively test text orientation, visual clutter, and ingredient transparency for a fraction of traditional costs.Check out the full episode to see the future of package testing in action.Connect with Adam:* LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/adampeek* TikTok: @thelabelkingConnect with Ankit Dhawan:* LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dhawanankit/* Website: https://blue-pill.ai/ This is a public episode.

It wasn't a great weekend for fires around the state -- several fires popped up and even forced evacuations. In the hills above Salt Lake City, residents are urged to be on alert and ready to go at a moment's notice should the Bonneville Fire shift directions. But in Juab County, the entire town of Eureka remains under a mandatory evacuation thanks to the 24,000+ acre Iron Fire. No buildings burned at this point, but Highway 6 remains closed in the area. Utah Firewatch -- Inside Sources gets updates on those two fires from wildfire PIOs Sierra Hellstrom and Toby Weed. KSL Meteorologist Matt Johnson joins to talk about the forecast and the current air quality around the Wasatch Front. Benjamin Donner, Executive Director of the American Red Cross Central and Southern Utah Chapter joins to talk about the things homeowners can do to best prepare for what's to be a rough fire season.

Becky Cross, VP of Client Partnerships at FIT Technologies, recaps key themes from the Pax8 Beyond Conference in Salt Lake City with Jason Collins (CISO) and Ali Tubbs Amato (COO), focusing on moving past AI hype to practical execution. Ali discusses how to operationalize AI by starting with clear pain points, measuring time savings and ROI, and using automation to remove remedial tasks so people can focus on more impactful work, noting that similar fears accompanied earlier technology shifts.Jason emphasizes that secure AI adoption starts with visibility—knowing what AI tools and automations exist, what they can access, and governing them like new identities—highlighting a session on identifying and mitigating AI risk through repeatable processes. The group also explores an industry shift from managed services to “managed intelligence,” and closes by stressing the importance of relationships, community, and sharing experiences across the MSP ecosystem.

- Speaker: Lukus Counterman - This weekend in our summer series entitled “What Matters to God,” we will be considering the timeless truths that came to be known as the “Solas.” The word “sola” is Latin for “alone.” So, we will be looking at the biblical-theological affirmations of scripture alone, faith alone, grace alone, Christ alone, and the glory of God alone. Though Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy don't avow those truths, they are firmly grounded in God's word and church history. So, may the Lord teach us through the scriptures and strengthen our faith as we look to him.

This week on Mormon Stories News, we take a closer look at the people, controversies, and events making waves across Mormonism.We begin with the story of a disturbing abuse case involving a former LDS Priest Quorum Specialist accused of sexually abusing his nephew. The case has prompted conversations about trust, access to youth, safeguarding policies, and whether church members are adequately trained to recognize and prevent abuse within families and congregations.We also examine a rare public apology from General Authority Seventy Kyle McKay. McKay recently acknowledged that previous statements he made regarding Church history were offensive and offered a correction. We discuss what was said and why the apology matters.Can AI replace God? That's the question Elder Gerrit W. Gong recently addressed in a viral Church-produced video. We break down his comments, the Church's growing concern over artificial intelligence, and whether AI is becoming a competing source of information, guidance, and authority for members navigating faith questions.Next, we turn to the appointment of Jay Jorgensen to the Utah Supreme Court. Jorgensen's nomination has sparked discussion because of his employment with The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and his statements regarding whether he would recuse himself from Church-related cases. We examine the concerns surrounding judicial independence, conflicts of interest, and public confidence in the courts.We dive into the growing controversy surrounding Jeff Strong's book Torn. Strong's work has generated significant discussion among Latter-day Saints by examining why many members become disaffected or leave the Church. Recent responses from prominent LDS commentators argue that Strong's research methodology is flawed and that he misrepresents faithful members' experiences.We finish with a brief snippet from Rebecca Bibliotecca about the ongoing temple drama in Fairview Texas. What are your thoughts on this week's stories? Join the conversation in the comments.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

For generations, Utah has been known as a place of faith, pioneers, and the search for a promised land. But beneath that history lies something far stranger.In this episode, I explore the eerie connection between early Mormon beliefs, frontier supernatural traditions, and some of Utah's most persistent ghost stories. From the Purple Lady of Salt Lake City to the haunted halls of the Great Saltair, these chilling accounts reveal a state where many believe the veil between the living and the dead has always been unusually thin.Are Utah's ghosts simply legends, or are they echoes of a spiritual worldview that never went away?You can find Edwin social media as @edwincovHave an idea you want to send?

In Salt Lake City...theres a myriad of activities taking place to celebrate Juneteenth. It kicked off this morning at the state capitol...and now there's a crowd at the Gateway. Salt Lake Juneteenth festival director Cleopatra Louise joins me now LIVE with the details...

Welcome to your weekly UAS News Update. We have three stories for you this week: the FCC opens the door for Chinese toy drones but with a massive catch, Walmart and Wing are expanding drone delivery, and a Lee County DFR drone gets shot at with a BB gun. Let's get to it.First up this week, the FCC just announced they will allow new models of Chinese "toy drones" to be imported into the US. But before you get excited, the rules are so tight that almost nothing qualifies! To be considered a toy under this new exemption, a drone must weigh no more than 150 grams or 5.29 ounces. It must stay within 100 meters or 328 feet line-of-sight, fly no longer than 10 minutes on a charge, have a 300-foot altitude ceiling, and a speed cap of 10 meters-per-second or 22 mph. Most importantly, it can have NO GPS, no brushless motors, and absolutely no camera or network capability. To put that in perspective, the DJI Neo weighs just 135 grams, which passes the weight test. But it carries a 12-megapixel, 1/2-inch sensor shooting 4K video, uses a wireless link rated for 7 kilometers, has brushless motors, and flies for 18 minutes. So, it completely fails the rest of the requirements! And obviously, drones like the Mini 4 Pro or the new Mini 5 Pro at 249 grams don't even pass the weight check. Next we have a massive expansion in drone delivery that is putting two major operators on a direct collision course. Walmart and their drone partner Wing just announced seven new metro areas for their delivery network, including Memphis, New Orleans, Philadelphia, Phoenix, San Diego, the San Francisco Bay Area, and Salt Lake City. Wing has already completed well over one million commercial deliveries, averaging about 23 minutes per drop. The service is free for Walmart+ members and $19.99 for everyone else. The snag here is that Amazon Prime Air is staging operations in Memphis and is actively conducting flights in Phoenix. This means we'll see both aircraft operating in the same airspace.Wing uses a smaller, purpose-built drone that hovers and lowers packages on a tether. Amazon, on the other hand, uses their MK-30 drone, which weighs 83 pounds and carries up to 5 pounds of cargo. Amazon has also had a few incidents this year with the MK-30 reportedly crashing into a construction crane twice, an internet cable, and an apartment building. Last up, The Lee County Sheriff's Office in southwest Florida released footage showing a man firing a BB gun at one of its UAS during a search operation. The drone was flying as part of the department's Drone First Responder program while searching for a bear when its operator spotted a group of men who appeared to be shooting a firearm into a wooded area. The released video shows one man pointing a BB gun at the drone and firing twice. The arrest occurred on Saturday, with deputies using the live feed as real-time evidence to support the arrest.Firing at any aircraft, including drones, is a federal felony under 18 U.S.C. § 32, "Destruction of aircraft or aircraft facilities". The penalty runs up to 20 years in prison, a fine, or both. The classification of drones as aircraft is established in 18 U.S.C. § 31(a)(1), which defines "aircraft" as any contrivance invented, used, or designed to navigate, fly, or travel in the air. The FAA has previously confirmed that shooting at an unmanned aircraft falls under Section 32, and federal prosecutors have charged individuals on that basis.And the conversation continues on Post flight where we discuss these stories uncensored in the Premium Community, link is in the description. We'll see you for the live Q&A on Monday. Have a good weekend!https://dronexl.co/2026/06/16/fcc-toy-drone-import-rule-dji-neo-too-capable/https://dronexl.co/2026/06/17/walmart-wing-drone-delivery/https://dronexl.co/2026/06/17/dfr-drone-man-firing-bb-gun-federal-felony/

In a recent episode on the YouTube channel Hello Saints, Jeff McCullough interviewed Jasmin Rappleye (who got her degree from BYU in Ancient Near Eastern Studies) about one of Mormonism's most controversial scriptures: the Book of Mormon. During the discussion, several apologetic approaches to the Book of Abraham was presented. In this episode, we examine three of the most common theories used to defend Joseph Smith's translation:-The Missing Scroll Theory-The Long Scroll Theory-The Catalyst TheoryDrawing heavily from Dan Vogel's groundbreaking book Book of Abraham Apologetics, we carefully review the historical evidence surrounding these claims, including the eyewitness accounts frequently cited by defenders of the Long Scroll Theory. Do these accounts actually support the evidence of a lengthy missing papyrus containing the Book of Abraham? Or have they been selectively interpreted to fit a predetermined conclusion? Along the way, we examine the work of prominent Egyptologists, discuss the relationship between Joseph Smith's translation claims and the surviving papyri, and explore why even faithful scholars have increasingly moved away from defending the Book of Abraham as a literal translation of the existing Egyptian texts. Join Kolby, Nemo, and Julia as they work through the evidence, compare competing apologetic arguments, and ask what explanation best fits the historical record.In our next episode, we'll examine a fourth and increasingly popular theory: that the Book of Abraham preserves authentic ancient Jewish traditions about Abraham and may contain an ancient core despite not being a direct translation of the surviving papyri. ___________________YouTubeShow NotesAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

  In March, the USDA announced that the Forest Service will relocate its headquarters from Washington, DC, to Salt Lake City. Now, we're learning more details about what exactly that move will entail. Holly and Greg were joined by Politico Reporter Rachel Shin, who told them more about this move. 

  Last night, the Salt Lake City council approved a property tax increase of just over 12%, but it has residents worried this may not be the last. Holly and Greg discuss which programs were cut by the city and where this money will go.  

This week, the girls are planning their dream Italian summer vacation. Chelsey shares what she's most excited about as her family heads to Tuscany, while Jaci reveals an extra stop on her itinerary in the Cotswolds, a storybook region in the English countryside, before the families reunite in Capri. They get into the fears of traveling internationally with kids for the first time, how they're approaching a destination that isn't exactly known for being stroller-friendly, and the challenge of packing outfits that are both fashionable and practical. Later, the girls recap their Salt Lake City tour stop and reflect on an unforgettable night with the Valley girls, who absolutely showed up and showed out.

Together, they share how Pax8 is helping partners navigate one of the most significant technology shifts in decades by combining innovation, community, education, and practical AI adoption strategies.

States of Discovery is officially back, and Marisa and Sara are wasting no time catching up. After a behind-the-scenes hiatus, they're diving straight into what they've been up to, from a music festival in Salt Lake City to solo adventures in New York and LA. This episode covers the OIYS articles that have been turning heads lately, some genuinely great travel tips, and a big announcement about where the two are headed together at the end of June.Life Updates & Recent Travel:Sara is deeply invested in the 50 Best Sandwich Shops series (and yes, she knows how that sounds)Marisa shares why she can't stop thinking about Diablo Lake in Washington's North Cascades and the wild reason its water is that shade of turquoiseFrom a hidden omakase spot in New York to a J-pop festival in LA, Sara's solo trip itinerary will make you want to book a flight immediatelyMarisa makes a strong case for Salt Lake City, including an Evo Hotel with an indoor rock climbing gym, a dry sauna she didn't know about until check-in, and a laundromat connected to a pizza shopTimestamps:00:12 - Welcome back! The hiatus is over and summer travel is on01:47 - Sara's love letter to the 50 Best Sandwich Shops series (Delhi, Ohio represent)05:06 - Marisa's Caribbean water obsession and why Diablo Lake stopped her cold09:02 - Kilby Block Party, lime scooters, and the thrift-to-laundromat pipeline in Salt Lake City17:22 - Sara's solo New York and LA trip: hidden izakaya, MoMA's fallout shelter exhibit, and a J-pop festival28:08 - The big announcement: Marisa and Sara are heading to Fayetteville Pride, one of the biggest Pride festivals in the Southeast35:14 - "Tree trunk travel": how anchoring a trip around one event leads to the best discoveriesEpisode Summary:Marisa and Sara are back on the mic and picking up exactly where they left off. The episode moves fast, from gushing over reader-nominated sandwich shops to trading notes on recent solo travels that each turned into something way more interesting than the original plan. Marisa's Salt Lake City trip is a great reminder that staying at the right hotel, being willing to do laundry in a new city, and just wandering with a color challenge can be its own kind of adventure. Sara's New York visit hit differently once a Marcel Duchamp exhibit led her straight into a fake Cold War fallout shelter. The episode closes on a genuinely exciting note: both hosts are heading to Fayetteville, Arkansas for a three-day Pride celebration, and they want listeners along for the ride.Stay tuned for the Fayetteville Pride episode dropping in early July.

What happens when the son of a Pentecostal megachurch pastor decides to become Mormon?In this episode of Mormon Stories Podcast, we sit down with Lance Kennedy to discuss his unique religious journey from evangelical Christianity to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Raised in Texas as the son of a prominent pastor, Lance grew up behind the scenes of one of the fastest-growing church movements in America, watching firsthand as churches evolved from small congregations into large-scale organizations.Drawing from that experience, Lance offers a fascinating perspective on Mormonism as both an insider and an outsider. He shares what initially attracted him to the LDS Church, why Mormonism felt like a better fit than the religious tradition he was raised in, and how his background shaped the way he approached questions of belief, culture, and church growth.Throughout the conversation, we explore the similarities and differences between evangelical Christianity and Mormonism, the challenges facing the modern LDS Church, and the tension between preserving a distinct religious identity and adapting to a changing world. Lance also discusses his experiences as a branch president in rural Texas, his thoughts on church history and transparency, and why he remains an active member despite his willingness to publicly discuss difficult issues.___________________YouTubeShow NotesAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

Genesis 9:1-17 - Speaker: Lukus Counterman - Politicians sway this way and that. Countries take various positions on fundamental issues. Yet, Christians have a pretty consistent history when it comes to their stance on life. And that's because the Author of Life is the only one who has the right to give it and take it away. We mustn't play God and take life into our own hands. Instead, we need to recognize that from the womb to the tomb we are not our own. We belong body and soul to God. So, may the Lord help us value life like he does. If it matters to God, it should matter to us.

Alex Bowcut is from Salt Lake City, Utah originally, but has been in the Bay Area for the last 4 years. He's always been interested in computers, and was in middle school when smartphones were blooming. He took part in jailbreaking gadgets and such, and all of these things led to a natural interest in CS, mathematics - and eventually, startups. Outside of tech, he is married with 2 Australian shepherds. He and his wife enjoy hiking with the dogs, and skiing - unfortunately, without the dogs.Alex was approached by the founder of his current venture. He was approached while he was working at another startup, to tackle the creation of AI control and scaling within the company internally. When he joined, he immediately started changing the game in creating the initial version of their assessment model, TRAM.This is Alex's creation story at Sphere.SponsorsUnblockedTECH DomainsMezmoBraingrid.aiLinkshttps://www.getsphere.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/abowcut/Our Sponsors:* Check out Cash App and use my code CASHAPP10 for a great deal: https://click.cash.app/ui6m/mt82fpxl #CashAppPod.

Today on Mormon Stories Podcast, we sit down with Dr. Brad Reedy, therapist, author, and founder of “Finding You Intensives”, to discuss his remarkable journey through faith, spirituality, addiction, and personal growth. We are also very glad to be joined by Samantha Shelly (from Zelph on the Shelf) for this uplifting conversation. Raised outside of religion, Brad spent much of his youth searching for meaning and belonging. After struggling with substance abuse as a teenager and surviving a near-fatal overdose, he encountered Mormonism and found the structure, community, and spiritual direction  had been missing from his life.As his understanding of faith evolved, Brad found himself wrestling with questions about spirituality, identity, parenting, relationships, and what it means to live authentically. Together, we explore the tension between religion and spirituality, the challenges of faith transitions, and why something that once helped a person thrive may no longer fit later in life.Brad shares his experience as a passionate convert, missionary, BYU student, and later a marriage and family therapist. Along the way, he reflects on the strengths and limitations of high-demand religions, the role that structure can play in healing and growth, and the difference between living from guilt versus living from love.This conversation is a thoughtful exploration of transformation, self-discovery, and the ongoing search for meaning beyond certainty.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.

What started as a dispute over a massive LEGO Star Wars collection has exploded into one of the strangest stories on YouTube.Join Dr. John Dehlin, Julia Sanders of Analyzing Mormonism, and never-Mormon commentator Matt Gillespie of Matt's Kustom Kreations, as they investigate the viral controversy surrounding a LEGO collection reportedly worth more than $200,000. Together, they examine the timeline of events, the competing claims, the lawsuits, the corporate takeover of a Bricks & Minifigs franchise, and the investigation that brought national attention to the story.A family consigned a collection reportedly worth more than $200,000 to a Bricks & Minifigs franchise in Oregon. After a corporate takeover of the store, the collection allegedly disappeared, leading to lawsuits, public accusations, competing narratives, and an ongoing battle over who is responsible.In this episode, we break down the timeline of Bricks & Minifigs controversy, the key players involved, and the investigations that brought national attention to the case. We examine the reporting and videos released by Reckless Ben and others, the responses from Bricks & Minifigs leadership, and the legal questions that remain unresolved.We also explore a lesser-discussed aspect of the story: the surprising number of individuals connected to the dispute who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From Bricks & Minifigs executives to figures invovled in post-takeover operation of the store, Mormon connections repeatedly emerge throughout the story. We discuss what those connections are, what can be documented, and how Mormon culture, business networks, and personal relationships may have intersected with the events surrounding the case.The matters discussed in this episode involve ongoing legal and public disputes. Unless otherwise stated, references to misconduct, wrongdoing, concealment, theft, fraud, corruption, or similar claims are allegations made by third parties and should not be understood as statements of proven fact. We encourage viewers to review the underlying sources, court filings, public statements, and responses from all parties discussed. Nothing in this episode should be interpreted as an assertion that any individual or organization is guilty of criminal or civil wrongdoing.___________________YouTubeAt Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  Our overall mission is to: 1.
