Walk - Sydney Sweeney's recent American Eagle ad has caused a stir. Why? Because we have moved further into a progressive world that idolizes postmodernism and the destruction of beauty, truth, and most importantly, the binary.  https://www.cwicmedia.com/wavemakers

In this week's episode, 215 - Tips for Worry and Overwhelm, I'm sharing one of my favorite mindset tools to help missionaries—and all of us—navigate those heavy moments when the future feels too big or uncertain. Whether you're preparing to leave, currently serving, home from your mission, or parenting a missionary, this episode is for you. We're talking about how to “zoom in” and “zoom out”—and how both are powerful tools when used on purpose. I'll walk you through a story from one of my clients, break down how our brains react to unknowns, and offer super practical ways to bring your focus back to the present moment. This simple shift can bring so much peace, clarity, and confidence. If your thoughts ever spin into worst-case scenarios or you feel stuck in the unknowns, this episode will give you a helpful reframe and a sense of direction. Can't wait for you to listen! As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review. I know this work will help LDS missionaries around the world and it would mean so much to me if you did.

“I have always felt the gentle nature of Jesus being one of the most resonating parts of what I saw and knew as the gospel, and I always imagined Jesus speaking to me, saying, ‘Consider the lilies, how they grow, and they don't toil.' And my whole life ... I have been a toiler,” explains Kajsa Berlin-Kaufusi. “What if I wasn't a planter at this time, and what if I was the field?” In Episode 225, Kajsa joins Susan and Cynthia for a conversation about being still. What kind of rejuvenative possibilities might exist when, for whatever reason, we find ourselves in what feels like a fallow stretch of life?

In this powerful conversation, Paige shares her journey from being the “good Mormon girl” to finding her voice, her body, and her freedom. Raised in a large LDS family and married young, Paige spent years performing perfection—until the cost of pretending became too high. We talk about faith transitions, embodied spirituality, reclaiming sacred sexuality, and the courage it takes to ask: What if I don't want to be good—what if I want to be real? Whether you're deconstructing your own beliefs or just curious about what it means to live with radical honesty, this episode is a must-listen. Kari, Brooke, David, Kaime, and Elora host Fresh Living on KUTV, which airs on CBS Channel 2 every weekday at 1 pm in Utah.

Send us a Positive Review!In this episode Val is a guest on the Join Latter Day Digest podcast & what unfolds is the very unlikely story that led to Val's and Nathan's eventual 'outlaw' status within the LDS church.  Why is this so odd?  Because this couple could not have been more traditionally believing for the majority of their lives--including spending most of their marriage following all of the traditional scripts of Mormonism...which in some ways worked and in other ways didn't work that well at all.  Then something happened within Val & Nathan (different life-shifting changes/crises) and their paradigms changed...radically.  From living traditional roles prescribed by outside 'experts' on their lives to becoming passionate advocates of finding courage, truth, and God-connection within, Val shares a journey that might offer hope to anyone out there who thinks transformation isn't possible.  00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome00:22 Valerie's Early Life and Background02:04 Young Women's Experience in the Church04:33 Struggles with Traditional Gender Roles10:06 Mission and College Years16:25 Meeting Her Future Husband18:53 Professional Aspirations and Challenges22:01 Empathy and Helping Others24:50 The Cost of Doing the Right Thing25:22 Balancing Family and Career25:48 Struggles of a Stay-at-Home Mom27:44 Finding Joy and Autonomy29:46 Guilt and Cognitive Dissonance33:15 Pursuing a Career in Mental Health36:43 Starting a Private Practice41:10 The Birth of Latter Day Struggles Podcast43:58 Helping Others Through Faith Expansion47:05 Commitment to a Higher Calling50:43 Conclusion and Future PlansSupport the showListen, Share, Rate & Review EPISODES Friday Episodes Annual Subscription $89 Friday Episodes Monthly Subscription $10 Valerie's Support & Processing Groups Donate: ⁠Venmo or Patreon⁠ Visit our Website

What unfolds when faith-driven creators stop flying solo, and start building together?This week on Latter-day Lights, Scott Brandley and co-host Larry Johnson sit down with publishing veteran Steve Piersanti—founder and CEO of Berrett-Koehler Publishers, and the driving force behind LDSPMA (Latter-day Saints in Publishing, Media & the Arts). Together, they retrace Steve's path to success; from launching BYU's Century Two journal, to rallying 45 volunteers in 2015, and growing that circle into 2,800 members united by one mission: to spread light and truth through books, film, podcasts, music, and more.They break down the process of building a volunteer-run nonprofit—from the early challenges, to launching pitching sessions, deep-dive workshops, and Praiseworthy/Spark awards—all the while emphasizing the faith-based community that keeps LDS creators and entrepreneurs coming back every time. Scott even throws in the serendipitous conversation that inspired Latter-Day Lights itself—and why showing up in media spaces matters just as much as showing up at Church.If you have a talent that's waiting to be seen, this conversation may be the nudge you need to step forward, link up, and create something that makes the world a better place. Tune in to find out how LDSPMA could be the bridge between your gift and the people who need it.*** Please SHARE Steve's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/ob4OwpaaPKQ-----To LEARN MORE about LDSPMA (keynotes, conferences, workshops, etc.) visit: https://ldspma.org/To VOLUNTEER at LDSPMA, visit: https://ldspma.org/volunteer/To DONATE to LDSPMA, visit: https://ldspma.org/donate/To LISTEN to Scott & Alisha's guesting on the LDSPMA Podcast, "Called to Create," visit: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1696705/episodes/17374653To READ Scott's book “Faith to Stay,” visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

Hey missionary family! Here is podcast episode 214 - Everyday Sacred! Have you ever felt like some parts of your life are “less spiritual” than others? In this episode, I'm diving into the idea that maybe everything—yes, even lip sync battles, silly dances at girls camp, and lake days—can be sacred. I share personal stories, client insights, and some historical perspective that helped me shift the way I think about spirituality in everyday life. Whether you're a missionary wondering why you're not feeling the Spirit as strongly, or a returned missionary trying to reconnect with your spiritual self outside of the mission routine, this episode will help you expand your view. I talk about letting go of the pressure to define spirituality in narrow ways, and embracing the richness and beauty of being a whole, creative, spiritual being every single day. If you've ever felt guilty for laughing too hard, playing too much, or not “checking every spiritual box,” this conversation is for you. Let's explore what it means to live in a world where everyday sacred is real and possible. As always, if you found this episode helpful, I want to invite you to subscribe if you aren't already, share this episode with your friends and missionaries you know, and write a review.

Send us a textThe sacrifice of a young Marine from Ogden takes center stage as we explore the life and service of Private First Class Neil Frank Dudman. Born in 1923 as the youngest of eleven children, Neil's early years were marked by hardship when his father died suddenly in 1930, leaving his mother to raise their large family during the Great Depression.After graduating from Ogden High School in 1941, Neil answered his country's call by enlisting in the Marine Corps in September 1942 as part of the 3rd Mormon Battalion—a special unit of young LDS men from Utah. His courage was evident from the start as he trained as a Marine Raider (similar to today's Special Forces) and volunteered for the perilous role of combat runner, delivering crucial messages between units while exposed to enemy fire.Neil's wartime journey took him across the Pacific as part of America's island-hopping strategy. He fought bravely in the Battle of Kwajalein in the Marshall Islands in early 1944, where American forces captured their first pre-war Japanese territory. Just months later, on June 19, 1944, PFC Dudman made the ultimate sacrifice during the brutal Battle of Saipan—a strategic operation that would bring American bombers within range of the Japanese mainland but cost thousands of American, Japanese, and civilian lives.His story embodies the courage and sacrifice of Weber County's Greatest Generation—ordinary young men who performed extraordinary acts of bravery when their country needed them most. Originally buried in the Pacific, Neil's remains were later returned to Ogden Cemetery, where his headstone simply but powerfully states: "Gave his life in combat with the US Marines." Join us as we honor his memory and ensure that the sacrifices of hometown heroes like Neil Dudman are never forgotten.

The LDS Church has changed its name several times in its history. It appears the most recent version will drop the "of Latter-day Saints." Rebecca and Landon are joined by Dr. Randy Bell to discuss the history of rebranding in the LDS church and what it means.

In this compelling episode of The Sensible Hippie Podcast, we sit down with Heidi Luv, host of the Unfiltered Rise podcast, to explore the mystical roots and cult-like behaviors within the Mormon faith. Heidi, an ex-Mormon, shares her deeply personal story of growing up in the LDS church, discovering unsettling truths, and eventually breaking free from the religious control that shaped much of her early life. We dive deep into the rituals, beliefs, and hidden aspects of Mormonism that are rarely discussed outside the faith. Heidi's journey offers unique insight into how religious indoctrination can shape one's identity and the profound challenges that come with leaving a high-control religion. If you've ever been curious about the inner workings of Mormonism or are looking for inspiration on how to break free from any controlling belief system, this episode is for you.For a other topics on this show, be sure to check out our past episode: https://youtu.be/BiBdPDKMlB4BUY ME A COFFEE LINKhttps://buymeacoffee.com/sensiblehippieIf you like to be on the show or have guest suggestions please email me sensiblehippie@gmail.com⁠⁠ https://www.instagram.com/sensiblehippie/https://www.facebook.com/SensibleHippiehttps://lvnta.com/lv_IcTq5EmoFKaZfJhTiS USE DISCOUNT CODE: OHANA FOR 20% OFF Beginning music from Moments: Fugue FrenzyIntro music: Imagination PALAOutro music: The Moment Adrian WaltherEnd Music: Symphonia PALAFInal Song: Lipstick Neon BeachMusic in promotion: Charlotte & Pemberley Cody Martin#ExMormon #mormon #CultSurvivor

Maya Angelou said, “There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.” When things start to get shifty in your faith life, it can feel overwhelming and difficult to talk about, even with those closest to you. There are as many stories of evolving faith as there are Latter-day Saint women who experience them. For Season 10, Cynthia and Susan have asked listeners to share what started them on the journey they're navigating now. In Episode 224, they explore some of those stories.

I'm taking you on a journey to Beaver Island, Michigan, a place central to the intriguing story of James Strang and his followers. James Strang: From Convert to Contender The tale begins with James Strang, a relatively recent convert to Mormonism, having joined the church just a few months before Joseph Smith sent him on a mission to Wisconsin. After Joseph Smith was killed on June 27, 1844, James Strang made two significant claims to succeed Smith: Angelic Ordination: Strang claimed that the angel Moroni appeared to him and ordained him to be the next prophet1. Letter of Appointment: He also presented a letter, purportedly from Joseph Smith, dated June 18, with a postmark from Nauvoo, Illinois, on June 19. The authenticity of this "letter of appointment" has been a major point of contention. Brigham Young immediately deemed it a forgery. A peculiar postmark (due to a piece of lint in the Nauvoo stamp) was used at the Nauvoo post office. Young followers claimed this was evidence of a forgery. However, when it was shown to be on other letters, Strang used as proof of authenticity. Michael Quinn, a historian, believed the letter was a fraud or forgery. Quinn noted that the signature was written in block letters and Joseph Smith's signature did not match his usual signature, although he acknowledged Joseph often used scribes. Quinn speculated that Strang might have taken a genuine letter from Nauvoo and written on it himself, with the postmark appearing to be genuine. The letter itself was vague, not explicitly naming Strang as the new church president, but rather seeming to put him in charge of the church in Wisconsin, a role Strang might have "inflated". Despite the controversy, Strang attracted some notable converts, including Joseph Smith's brother, William Smith, as well as John Page, Martin Harris, and William Marks, with several members of the Smith family initially encouraging him. Kingdom on Beaver Island Strang eventually received a revelation to move his community from Wisconsin to Beaver Island, Michigan before 1850. On Beaver Island, James Strang, much like Joseph Smith with the Council of 50, was ordained a king. This ambition, where Mormons attempted to take over the government, often led to conflict with surrounding communities. Tragedy and Scattering The Strangite community on Beaver Island ultimately faced a tragic end. In 1856, James Strang was assassinated on the dock by former Strangites. These individuals are referred to as "pseudos" or "pseudo-Mormons" by Strangites, distinguishing them from the LDS term "apostates". Strang was shot. Though not killed immediately, he succumbed to his wounds about three weeks later. Following his assassination, the US Navy, which was patrolling Lake Michigan for pirates, scattered all the people on Beaver Island. They were dropped off in various ports, often penniless and without food or money, a "terrible tragedy" that led to the scattering of Strangites. Today, while the largest congregation is believed to be in Burlington, Wisconsin (which James Strang called Voree), smaller groups exist in New Mexico, Colorado, and potentially West Virginia. Planning Your Visit to Beaver Island For those intrigued by this unique historical site, Beaver Island is accessible by ferry or plane. Travel from Grand Rapids: My journey started at Gerald R. Ford Airport in Grand Rapids, Michigan. From there, it's about a three-hour drive to Charlevoix, Michigan, the departure point for the ferry or small plane.

Religious topics and types of conversations about them change through the years: folks are all abuzz over particular topics, and then a new buzzy one comes along and the types of conversations about the others begin to be transform, and then the cycle repeats. A great place to get some hints about what's animating Latter-day Saints right now, and to notice shifts in ones that had their day (their years) in the spotlight is at the Sunstone Symposium, held each year in late-July/early August, and in the pages of Sunstone magazine. To talk about this year's symposium and how it mirrors and doesn't mirror some of the trends in the wider Christian world, we invited current (and for the past seventeen years!) Sunstone editor and Director of Communications, Stephen Carter, to talk with LDF host Dan Wotherspoon (and previous Sunstone editor). It's a fun discussion. These two old friends are a bit funny when they get together but they also have long histories working on the edge of Mormon trends. Check it out! In this episode, you can also learn more about what is coming up at the 2025 Salt Lake Sunstone Symposium being held at the University of Utah, July 31–August 2nd. But also learn about yourself as you examine what is going on with you right now by seeing what is capturing the attention of some fellow Latter-day Saints and others interested in Mormon cultural and historical topics. Listen in!

Bruce R. McConkie gave his talk “The Seven Deadly Heresies” on June 1, 1980. He delivered this address at Brigham Young University (BYU). Just what are these “7 Deadly Heresies.” MRM's Bill McKeever and Bradley Campbell take a deeper look in the next month as they discuss each point in great detail.

And how does it expose the flaws in Mormon doctrine?This is a vital conversation for anyone transitioning from Mormonism to true biblical Christianity.1. The Biblical Idea of CovenantIn Scripture, a covenant is a divinely initiated relationship where God sets the terms and fulfills the promises.Key biblical covenants:Noahic Covenant (Genesis 9)Abrahamic Covenant (Genesis 12, 15, 17)Mosaic Covenant (Exodus 19-24)Davidic Covenant (2 Samuel 7)New Covenant (Jeremiah 31:31-34; Luke 22:20)2.

Send us a text“We focus so much on the problem in front of us… and not enough on the Savior who has overcome it all.” — Elder AlonsoThis episode has been resting on my heart since I attended the Farmington, New Mexico Temple media day—a trip I almost didn't take, but the Spirit whispered clearly: “Yes. Go.”What unfolded was sacred and soul-deep. I share what I learned about covenant relationship, the beauty and meaning woven into the design of the temple, and the quiet whisper I heard in the celestial room: “This is your home. You are Mine.”I also reflect on something my son said while reading Lehi's dream: “Maybe anything can be a mist of darkness… if it blocks you from the Tree.” Even good things can cloud our focus if they pull us away from Christ.If you're feeling scattered, discouraged, or unsure—this is an invitation to come back to the Tree. To focus not on the problem in front of you, but on the Savior who has already overcome it all.

The constant swirl of opinions, research, and personal stories around GLP-1 medications has created a perfect storm of confusion for anyone considering this path. Between the people who swear by it, those who condemn it as "cheating," and doctors recommending it left and right, the noise can be overwhelming.   Tune in this week as I share my own journey with GLP-1 this year, from the 20-pound weight loss and stabilized glucose levels to the surprising reasons I ultimately chose to stop. You'll learn how to make clean decisions about controversial health choices, manage others' opinions without letting them derail you, and most importantly, how to separate morality from medicine when it comes to your own body.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://jodymoore.com/522

In this episode, I sit down with Standard of Truth podcast hosts Dr. Garrett Dirkmaat and Dr. Richard LeDuc—two brilliant minds who somehow make 19th-century church history as fun as late-night comedy.
