Failure is not a matter of if—it’s a matter of when. There will be moments when you speak too quickly, act impatiently, neglect wise counsel, or fall short of your own expectations. The real question isn’t whether you’ll fail. It’s how you’ll see yourself when you do. Isaiah 54:10 offers a powerful anchor: even if mountains move and hills disappear, God’s steadfast love will not depart from you. Your failures do not shake His covenant of peace. His compassion is not fragile. It is fixed. When we fail, we tend to drift toward one of two extremes: pride or shame. Pride tells us we can fix everything on our own. Shame tells us everything is ruined beyond repair. But both are lies. We were never meant to sustain ourselves apart from God. Apart from Christ, failure can feel crushing—especially if we tie our worth to roles like parenting, career, marriage, or ministry. But our identity was never meant to rest on performance. God knew every weakness we would wrestle with long before we were born. Yet He still formed us with purpose. Your mistakes do not erase your calling. They do not cancel your value. And they certainly do not rewrite your story. God holds the pen. His redemptive grace is stronger than your missteps. Failure is not the end of your story—it is often the place where you most clearly see His mercy at work. Main Takeaways Failure is inevitable, but it does not define your worth. God’s steadfast love does not depart when you fall short. Pride and shame both distort how we respond to failure. Your purpose is not erased by your mistakes. God’s grace and sovereignty hold your story securely. Today’s Bible Verse “‘For the mountains may depart and the hills be removed, but my steadfast love shall not depart from you, and my covenant of peace shall not be removed,’ says the Lord, who has compassion on you.” - Isaiah 54:10 (ESV) Your Daily Prayer Prayer excerpt for listeners: “When we fail, help us refuse pride’s lies and silence shame’s voice, trusting that You are still writing our story.” Listen to the full prayer here.

For the first time since Jesus Christ's death made it possible for us to be saved, God's power is exerted against evil. This is the scene of the dragon's last stand as he's kicked out of heaven and everyone there rejoices. But everyone on earth weeps. This is the Dragon's last stand, since Satan knows his time is short. Even then, God protects Israel, the object of Satan's final attack. Don't miss this cosmic drama.

On this episode of Crosspolitic at AmFest 2025, Knox, Toby, and Gabe welcome Shahrig and Pastor Greg from Christ Underground on to talk about the issue of reaching Muslims with the gospel and why they believe starting with the Old Testament rather than jumping straight to Jesus is the most effective way to undermine the authority of the Quran and lead Muslims to faith in Christ.

Uncle Si insists his kids are proof there's a God and that grace can transform even the most unlikely dad. He, Jase, and Al agree the greatest treasure isn't gold at all, and while Si claims he's discovered the fountain of youth, he's still planning his own eulogy just in case.

Love Is Blind Season 10 Episodes 7–9 deliver one of the most chaotic stretches in franchise history. From Chris initiating a 13-hour “break,” questioning his physical attraction to Jessica, and invoking CrossFit wife standards, to Alex's increasingly villain-coded behavior, we break down every catastrophic play like it's Game 7 of the Finals. Meanwhile, Victor emerges as the lone elite-tier performer in a sea of dud-level male gameplay, and Brittany's “Christ-like” evaluation of Devonte may be the wildest love-level raise we've ever seen. We analyze gaslighting, anti-chemistry strategies, producer intent, and the escalating gender gameplay gap in what may be the most rage-inducing trio of episodes the series has ever produced.Subscribe to Game of Roses: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCrFYM8CvKhDvV8OLfnhvP0A/?sub_confirmation=1Patreon: https://patreon.com/gameofrosesMerch: https://gameofroses.orgListen on Apple Podcasts: http://bit.ly/gameofrosesListen on Spotify: http://bit.ly/spotifygameofroses Hosted on Acast.

Pastor Troy Brewer and Ben Brewer, from OpenDoor Church in Dallas, Texas, join Tony to pull back the curtain on a ministry that doesn't just preach freedom, it hunts it down. From funding and executing rescues to stepping into nations where trafficking networks operate in plain sight, they share stories of walking straight into danger to bring people out. Their travels abroad read like something out of a thriller, filled with sudden spiritual confrontations, close calls, and moments where survival hinged on obedience and prayer. Yet behind the intensity is a relentless conviction that Jesus still sets captives free in real time. This episode is a gripping look at faith in action, where the fight against human trafficking is personal, costly, and anything but theoretical.Please pray for Tony's wife, Lindsay, as she battles breast cancer.

Segment 1 • Are we re-labeling Genesis because we're embarrassed in front of “the smart people”? • If miracles after Genesis 11 are literal, then creation and the flood can be too. • Is “mytho-history” careful scholarship—or circular reasoning dressed up as philosophy? Segment 2 • Some professing Christians think they can be solid believers while still supporting abortion. • Disagreement isn't a sign of hatred or even dislike - but simple, biblical conviction. • Some progressive “faith-leaders” are utilizing radical subjectivity to approve of things that God hates. Segment 3 • If you've truly seen the cross, how can you flirt with sin? • Evangelism can either be fueled by gospel-shaped gratitude… or a begrudging sense of duty. • Gospel knowledge must be moved from head to heart. Segment 4 • What transformed Joseph of Arimathea from fearful to fearless? • Have you actually considered what it meant to remove Christ's body from the cross? • If the crucifixion doesn't move you to gratitude and obedience, nothing will. ___ Thanks for listening!

Tragedy can strike without warning, and for Granger and Amber Smith, the sudden loss of their son River became a catalyst for a profound encounter with God. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar discuss how this event revealed the fragility of worldly peace and prompted Granger to confront his own despair, ultimately leading him to find salvation. Amber shares her parallel journey of nights spent in raw grief and relentless prayer, showing that suffering can bring believers face to face with God. They explore how lament is a biblical response to pain, showing that crying out to the Lord is not a sign of weakness but a step toward healing and intimacy with Him. The conversation highlights the importance of confronting sin, understanding God rightly, and rejecting the false peace offered by the world. The guys also focus on hope for those struggling with despair or suicidal thoughts, explaining that fellowship, honest prayer, and a proper understanding of the gospel can transform despair into purpose. Finally, Granger and Amber share practical ways they have integrated grief and faith into daily life, walking their remaining children through sorrow while pointing them toward Jesus, strengthening their marriage, and deepening their ministry.Send a textThanks for listening!

Did you know the Bible has more scriptures about finances than about heaven and hell? Faith in the area of finances is the least use of our faith (Luke 16:10). If we can't trust God with our money, how can we expect to be able to trust Him with greater things? Join Andrew in this series of Charis chapel hours and discover how exercising your faith in the “least” can unlock faith for that which is greater.
Kyle and Patty go deep on performance-enhancing drugs, bodybuilding prep mistakes, and how Patty eventually won his class after taking diet and training seriously—followed by a major spiritual turning point. Patty describes a series of experiences that led him to identify God's guidance, including a night of intrusive “devil” thoughts stopped by invoking Jesus, a timely conversation with a spiritually-minded gym acquaintance, and a vivid dream urging repentance and change. Shortly after, a chain of events at the gym led him to a trader who taught him a day trading strategy, resulting in Patty making $290,000 the next month and shifting his identity from bodybuilding to trading. They also discuss staying on TRT, fertility concerns, quality-of-life improvements off heavier cycles, and broader themes like money as a “pissing contest” versus meaning, building a family compound for his parents, raising children with an abundance mindset and homeschooling, and Kyle's perspectives on plant medicine, integration, and safer paths like the upcoming darkness retreat in June with Dr. Nathan Riley and led by Edmond Knighton.

Why do we agonize over proving ourselves? Where has self-confidence quietly replaced dependence on God? What would change if you trusted Christ's finished work?

What if “daddy issues” isn't your identity—but a distortion that healing was always meant to correct?In this episode of Saved Not Soft, we confront the cultural narrative that reduces deep father wounds into a label, and we expose the lie beneath it. Through Scripture and lived experience, we talk about sonship, the difference between wounds and identity, and how deception forms when absence, abandonment, or misuse of authority goes unhealed.This conversation isn't about minimizing pain—it's about redeeming it. We explore how the Father heart of God restores what earthly relationships could not, how Jesus reveals what true fatherhood looks like, and how healing begins when we stop defining ourselves by what was missing and start receiving what was always promised.If you've wrestled with rejection, mistrust, or confusion around authority and love, this episode is an invitation to leave deception, step into truth, and rediscover your identity as a son or daughter—secure, seen, and fully known in Christ.Support the show
Are there parts of you that are hidden away? A secret shame, a private hurt, a lonely fear that resides in the darkness you don't talk about. Jesus knows about it and he wants to heal it. Hebrews 4:13, “Nothing in all creation is hidden from God. Everything is naked and exposed before his eyes.” […]
Does God care about generosity? How did the early church “have everything in common”? Why did God judge Ananias and Sapphira? In this episode, one of Watermark's elders, Kyle Thompson, joins Emma to discuss Acts 4:32-37 and the radical generosity that marked the early church. Then, Emma unpacks Acts 5:1-11 and the story of Ananias and Sapphira with Watermark's National Director of Merge and Foundation Groups, Scott Kedersha. // ADDITIONAL VERSES MENTIONED: 1 John 3: 17; Psalm 50: 10; 2 Corinthians 8: 5, 12-15; 9:7; Proverbs 14: 12; Luke 21: 3-4; John 8: 44 // RELATED JOIN THE JOURNEY EPISODES: S4:265 – Acts 5-6 (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/s4-265-acts-5-6/id1600151923?i=1000735373170) // RESOURCES: Moneywise, biblical money management at Watermark: (https://www.watermark.org/ministries/moneywise) // WHAT IS JOIN THE JOURNEY?

Elder Clark G. Gilbert of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Sister Christine Gilbert, have seen the hand of the Lord in their lives as they have strived to live the covenants they made at baptism and in the house of the Lord. The Gilberts have grown closer as a family and learned how to give and receive the Savior’s relief while fulfilling professional and Church assignments. As the newest Apostle in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, Elder Gilbert knows he is to be a special witness of the name of Christ in all the world (see Doctrine and Covenants 107:23). Just a few days after being called by Church President Dallin H. Oaks, Elder and Sister Gilbert joined Church News reporter Mary Richards to share more about their family, faith and testimonies of Jesus Christ.
Some are hard-pressed to believe in the extraordinary or miraculous. While it is understandable that we may be challenged by the extraordinary, we shouldn't be, because ordinary things are actually far more phenomenal. With this and the next episode, we begin at the end, with the conclusion of the entire series: to make clear our destination, believe and follow Christ to the end, and help others do the same. Today, the focus is simply “believe.” We'll walk through the pattern of syllogisms, piecing together an important syllogism threaded throughout scripture, which I call “Reason Down.” If you understand Reason Down, not only will your faith be fortified, but you will know that with God, all things are possible, and nothing should be hard to believe. Please join me on this journey and stand forever. Transcript/Notes: https://tinyurl.com/3k73uxdz
Do we take evil as seriously as we should? And do we truly desire deliverance from evil—or only relief from its consequences?In today's episode, we continue our sermon series from the archives, The Gospel According to Mark, as Paul walks through Mark 5 and the dramatic account of Jesus casting the demons out of the man known as Legion, revealing Christ's unmatched authority over the powers of darkness.To hear more sermons from Paul, visit PaulTripp.com/Sermons.

In this final episode of the Church History Matters Science and Religion series, hosts Casey Griffiths and Scott Woodward sit down with BYU religion professor Ben Spackman, whose groundbreaking dissertation explores the historical relationship between science, the Bible, evolution, and Latter-day Saint thought. Together they trace how interpretations of Genesis, debates over Darwinian evolution, and shifting cultural pressures shaped conversations among members and leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. From early 20th-century tensions to more nuanced modern approaches, this episode carefully unpacks how Saints have wrestled with questions at the intersection of revelation and reason. Casey, Scott, and Professor Spackman examine the divide between “fundamentalist” and “modernist” approaches to scripture—exploring how different assumptions about prophetic authority, biblical literalism, and scientific discovery have influenced Latter-day Saint perspectives. Rather than framing science and faith as enemies, the discussion highlights the importance of historical context, careful interpretation, and intellectual humility. As the capstone to the series, this episode invites listeners to approach both scripture and science with faith, patience, and a deeper understanding of how past conversations can inform present discipleship.

Alan Gordon is the author of the Way Out, he developed and tested Pain Reprocessing Therapy as an evidence based treatment for Chronic Pain Learn the skills to Regulate your Emotions, join the membership: https://courses.therapyinanutshell.com/membership In this engaging conversation, Alan and I delve into the concept of neuroplastic pain, exploring how the brain can misinterpret safe signals from the body as dangerous, leading to chronic pain. One speaker shares their personal journey with chronic pain, highlighting the confusion and frustration that arises from conflicting medical opinions and the realization that many people with structural issues do not experience pain. We talk about pain as a real experience, regardless of its origin, and discuss the importance of understanding the brain's role in pain perception. The conversation also touches on the psychological aspects of pain, including how stress and anxiety can amplify pain sensations, and the significance of addressing these mental factors in pain management.

Read OnlineWhile still more people gathered in the crowd, Jesus said to them, “This generation is an evil generation; it seeks a sign, but no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” Luke 11:29Today's Gospel takes place during the midpoint of Jesus' public ministry. By this time, He had healed the sick, cast out demons, raised the dead, preached many powerful sermons, and changed many hearts. Despite that, many in the crowds did not believe in Him and demanded more signs.Additionally, the Pharisees were becoming increasingly hostile toward our Lord. In Luke's Gospel, they confront and criticize Jesus several times before this passage. In today's Gospel, Jesus addresses His rebuke to these Pharisees and the unbelieving crowds.If Jesus' generation was “an evil generation,” what would He say about our own? In many ways, we are becoming a global culture. While there are countless faithful followers of Christ worldwide, evil seems to be more pervasive today, perhaps more noticeable due to the ease of worldwide communication.Though Jesus delivered His sermons to specific people in His time, His words transcend time and are meant for every generation. When He says, “This generation is an evil generation…,” we must understand that He is also speaking to us today.When Jesus says His generation “seeks a sign,” He points out a common human temptation. Many approach the Gospel skeptically, demanding irrefutable proof that they should change their lives, believe in the Good News, and abandon sin. In today's world, some even glorify sin, treating virtue as outdated or foolish. This distorted outlook leads many to disregard the most important sign of all—Jesus' Death and Resurrection.Yet Jesus is clear: “…no sign will be given it, except the sign of Jonah.” Jonah's three days in the belly of the fish prefigured Jesus' three days in the tomb. In other words, Jesus' Death and Resurrection is the one and only sign given to us. This is striking because so many fail to pay attention to this ultimate sign of salvation. In the end, we can only change ourselves and hope that our conversion becomes a witness to others.Do you believe in this sign? Do you believe that Jesus' Life, Death, and Resurrection is the sole path to salvation? Most likely, you do. But how deep is that belief?Though Jesus performed many miracles during His earthly ministry, He did so as a response to the faith already present in those around Him. Today, the same is true. Physical miracles mean little compared to the saving Passion, Death, and Resurrection of Christ. They are merely reflections of the greatest miracle—eternal salvation. If you truly want to witness a miracle, turn to this supreme gift of grace and mercy. Believe with all your heart, and you will witness the transformation of your soul, which is the greatest miracle of all. Reflect today on Jesus' rebuke of the evil surrounding us, which demands proof but refuses to see the one sign that truly matters. The only proof Jesus offers is the grace that transforms us. When we discover and embrace this grace, we will know, believe, and be changed. Open your heart to the miracle of conversion that God desires to bestow upon you, and become a witness of Christ's greatest miracle for others to see. My miraculous Lord, though many in every age seek superficial signs, You offer the one true miracle that brings salvation—Your Life, Death, and Resurrection. Please help me to believe with unwavering faith, and protect me from the evil of this generation. Transform my heart so that I may be the fruit of the miracle You wish to give to the world.

Is “exposure ministry” biblical or just Christian gossip? In this episode of Remnant Radio, we dig into what the New Testament actually says about exposing sin, calling out false teachers, and practicing church discipline, and we ask the hard question: when does discernment become destruction of the body of Christ?We walk through passages like Ephesians 5, Matthew 18, and 1 Timothy 5 and explore: when does the Bible command us to bring things into the light, who is responsible to confront it, and what is the end goal—repentance, restoration, and protection of the flock, or outrage and entertainment? If you've ever wondered whether calling out false teachers online is a prophetic assignment or a fleshly hobby, this episode will help you think biblically and critically.0:00 – Introduction0:47 – Exposure vs Coverup Culture4:42 – Biblical Theology Exposure Ministry11:15 – Leaders Accountable Biblical Law14:38 – Elders Duty Investigating Sin18:04 – Communal Responsibility21:14 – Culpability Remaining Silent 32:48 – Prophets Confronting Institutional Power36:40 – Misapplying Matthew 18 Rebukes39:13 – John the Baptist Public Rebukes43:15 – Jesus Correcting Pharisees Publicly52:08 – Paul Rebuking Peter 54:57 – Protecting the Flock 59:17 – Defining Slander 106:04 – Navigating Unhealthy Church Cultures115:14 – Closing Subscribe to The Remnant Radio newsletter and receive our FREE introduction to spiritual gifts eBook.

If you want to close more sales, you may be focusing on the wrong part of the process. In this episode, Ray Higdon reveals why closing actually starts much earlier than most salespeople think—and shares three practical action steps you can apply immediately to increase conversions. You will learn why talking to more people dramatically improves close rates, how closing begins the moment you start interacting with a prospect, and why expanding the problem (without manipulating it) naturally leads to stronger buying decisions. Ray also explains why waiting for marketing to work is one of the biggest income killers in modern sales. If you are in sales, network marketing, direct sales, coaching, or entrepreneurship, this episode will help you close more deals by improving activity, posture, and conversation strategy. —

Tune in for encouragement, spiritual insight, and a reminder that—no matter where you are in your journey—you are truly loved. TODAY'S DEVOTION: They had questions in their hearts that stood in the way of them receiving healing and forgiveness. Sometimes our questions are more of an accusation or an indictment than they are real questions. The teachers of religious law saw Jesus extend compassion to this paralytic. They stood there and watched Jesus respond to these four men who had come in faith bringing their friend in need. They watched these men do outrageous things like digging through a roof and lowering their friend right smack dab in front of Jesus. These friends had interrupted all that was going on so that they could get an audience with Jesus. The teachers observed all this take place, and they saw Jesus respond not just with compassion and healing but with forgiveness of sins. And they objected. They accused him. They indicted him. "What is he saying? He's blaspheming. Only God can forgive sins," they said. What was in these religious teachers' hearts was disbelief that God could really make good on his promise in scripture to send his son to heal and restore the world. They were insisting on their own way, a way like all religion that had learned how to leverage sin, to leverage despair, to leverage the frailty of people for their own advantage. But Jesus, he offers us a new way. Not the old wineskin—no, this is new wine. Not the old garment, but something absolutely new. Not us fulfilling the law, not us being faithful, not us being holy. It's not us at all. Rather, it's all God. God has put it all on himself. God is fulfilling the law. God is being faithful. God is being holy. The new way is not to look at our own efforts and our own piety. The new way is simply to look to the One, to Jesus, who has come to fulfill all that was needed for a human race that is paralyzed, unable to stand upright and walk. The Gospel is what God has done. It is already finished. It is not a transactional proposition. It is not, "If you do this, God will do that." It's not quid pro quo. No, the Gospel is all God. What he has already accomplished for the world on the cross. Ours is to awaken to the new reality, the new wine that is right here, right now. It is a declaration of what already is. It's the good news. You already are forgiven. You already belong to him even before you knew it. Today, let us place our hearts before the God who alone has already done all that is needed. Today, let us hear his words spoken to the paralytic: "Your sins are forgiven." That's for you. Now get up, take your mat, and walk. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen. Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen. And now Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon. Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope. Where there is darkness, light. And where there is sadness, Joy. Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love. For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life. Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Have you ever felt torn when you see another church leader fall publicly?Part of you wants to defend the Church, but another part of you knows we can't just sweep sin under the rug. We are seeing headlines everywhere about "Cover-Up Culture," and honestly, it's "trendy", in some instances it may be true, and in some, it may be love seeking to cover. But it leaves us with a really hard question: Is it ever okay to judge? And how do we JUDGE RIGHTLY without being JUDGEMENTAL?We've been taught "Judge not," but does that mean we stay silent when leadership turns toxic?In this episode, my friend Leigh Sloan (Pastor & Author) joins me to have a raw, honest conversation about the difference between being judgmental and exercising righteous judgment. We are peeling back the layers on how to spot the difference between a "mistake" and a "pattern," and how to guard your own heart from bitterness when the leaders you looked up to let you down.Grab your coffee, friend. We need to talk about this. ☕️In this episode, we discuss:Cover-Up Culture: what's the difference between love that covers, and unhealthy cover-upsDiscernment vs. Suspicion: How to know if you are sensing the Holy Spirit or just being critical.The "Lumpy Carpet": What happens when we try to ignore the mess in the church.Restoration: Is it possible for fallen leaders to come back?

Pastor Dehavilland teaches that fasting isn't just giving up food — it's a spiritual practice of humbling ourselves before God and aligning our hearts with His. True fasting is about seeking God's presence more than earthly provision, willingly denying the flesh to deepen our intimacy with Christ. It's a lifestyle of dependence on God, not performance for others, and a way to make space for His voice, break soul attachments to comforts, and grow in spiritual sensitivity. Fasting reveals what truly controls our hearts and draws us into deeper communion with the Source of life.

Prophetic Insights into the Spirit of Haman | KIB 519 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description In this week's Kingdom Intelligence Briefing (Episode 519), Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake turn toward the biblical season of Purim and the prophetic lessons embedded in the book of Esther. As hidden things continue to be revealed in our day, Purim reminds us that God is not absent—He is orchestrating reversals, positioning His people, and bringing justice in His timing. Dr. Lake explores a powerful character study of Esther's three central figures—Esther, Mordecai, and Haman—and shows how Haman's identity as "the Agagite" connects the narrative to the ancient war with Amalek. You'll see how Saul's incomplete obedience created consequences that surfaced generations later—and how God raised up Mordecai and Esther to finish what Saul failed to do. This episode also examines the psychological and spiritual profile of Haman: pride, entitlement, obsession with honor, rage at dissent, manipulation of law and finances, and genocidal hatred. The discussion highlights how these traits mirror the "Amalekite/Haman spirit" at work through systems, propaganda, and bureaucratic power—then and now. Finally, we look at the hope of Purim: divine reversal—the trap of the wicked becoming their own downfall—and the call for the remnant to cultivate spiritual "mnemonic triggers" that keep us anchored in covenant faithfulness, humility, and the Word of God. Key themes: Purim, Esther, Mordecai, Haman, Amalek, covenant warfare, generational consequences, divine reversal, remnant preparation, end-times spiritual conflict.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints requires that adult members wear garments under their clothes day and night. Though a central practice, the wearing of garments exists behind a wall of silence, as Church authorities and LDS culture discourage discussion of such a sacred matter. Nancy Ross, Jessica Finnigan, and Larissa Kanno Kindred draw on a survey of over 4,500 Church members and their own backgrounds to explore the multifaceted meanings and experiences of Mormon garments. As the authors show, garments also function as a tool of social control that shapes behavior and reinforces conformity around sexuality. The diverse lived experiences of Latter-day Saints reveal how belief and gender intersect with feelings of secrecy, shame, and obedience while creating complexities for LDS members as they navigate questions of faith, identity, and agency. In addition, the authors call for greater understanding of the people grappling with tensions between personal customs and religious expectation. Buy The Book Insightful and rich with detail, Mormon Garments sheds light on an intimate practice in the lives of Latter-day Saints.
