They were multi-generation LDS, married in the temple, committed, stalwart Mormons until ...  Jason's experiences within the LDS leadership hierarchy, coupled with personal research into LDS history caused him to re-evaluate the claims of his Mormon faith.  Suddenly they are a house divided, and Amber fears losing everything that's most important. In part 1 they candidly share their journeys, struggles, and what happens when Amber calls in an LDS General Authority to talk to Jason about his concerns.  Can grace bring them back together?

I'm excited to have our first LDS General Authority on the show!  (Although we have had an apostle and Seventy from the Community of Christ, as well as member of First Presidency from the Remnant Church!) We'll get more acquainted with Elder Steven Snow in this first episode, and I'll ask him about his favorite stories in Church history. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R0ZbC-y5deU Elder Snow:  I will continue to be the Church Historian until August 1, and then I will be officially released at October conference, but my duties finish up August 1. ... GT : One of the big questions that I get delving into Mormon history, and so I'd like to pose this to you is, how can you maintain a testimony and know all this church history? Elder Snow:  Well, that's a very interesting question, and I hear it too. For me, the more I learned about our history, as a church, it actually strengthens my testimony.  The more I learn, the more respect I have for those that went before and the hard things they did, that were driven by their faith, many of these accomplishments.  I just find it very inspiring. Now, there are situations and experiences in the past that sometimes are sensationalized by others online. I really believe in studying things in the context of time and place and trying to understand what was going on. But at the same time, understanding the big picture.  If you get too wrapped up with non-consequential issues, then it's hard to progress, and so I just love church history. The more I learn, the more my testimony grows. GT:  Can you share with us, studying church history, what has been the most inspirational story that you've learned? Elder Snow  5:30  It's hard to identify just one, Rick, but I think the first volume of Saints is a good representation. I think of many stories, some of which members of the church will not know.  I just think, how did they do it? How did they suffer all this persecution, and I'm sure it was a sifting process for many. But, boy, they had a lot of courage and a lot of faith, those that stayed true and came west and established Zion here in the Rocky Mountains. It's just an inspiring story, I think, our history. I also asked if there was anything that troubled him. Elder Snow:  No, there's little surprises that come up every once in a while. But one thing I've done is I've really loved to study church history. So there's not a lot of things new that have troubled me as we've studied and learned our history. I just think people that don't study history enough, are the ones that tend to be a little bit surprised, and maybe rocked a little bit or are jarred by what they learned, so I encourage people to study history and to really learn the story, rather than just get hung up on a couple of little issues that may have been troubling. That's why I like Saints, the new series, the first volume of the four-volume series that we have out. I enjoy that because you read some of these little episodes in the context of the whole story. They seem really what they are, rather insignificant to the whole narrative. So no, I really haven't found much that's troubled me, nothing really that's troubled me. A few little surprises, but nothing too much. Check out our conversation….. Elder Steven Snow, Church Historian and member of 1st Quorum of Seventy In our next episode, we'll talk about the Gospel Topics Essays, and you might be interested in some historians and scientists who helped with this effort. 009: Dr. Paul Reeve's Role in Race Essay 053: Did Hales Write the Gospel Topics Essays? 078: Did Ugo Write the Gospel Topics Essay?    

During his 24 years as a beloved LDS General Authority and Official Church Historian, Elder Marlin K. Jensen presided over an historic shift toward greater openness in the LDS church’s approach to its history. In this Conversation with Terryl Givens, we get an intimate glimpse into Elder Jensen’s personal life and thoughts, including:How loving and serving his older brother instilled a determination to include “those who are different”The spiritual experiences that led him to consecrate his life to serving in the churchHis wish for more “overtly spiritual” church experienceHow our spiritual lives can be enriched by people, practices and writings from other religious traditionsThe challenges and the fruits of complete openness and transparency in telling the history of the churchThe urgent need to embrace those who are different or “don’t meet the norm” in the churchHis stirring witness of ChristAn attorney by profession who is more at home on the ranch, Elder Jensen became one of the public faces of Mormonism during what came to be called the “Mormon Moment.” He was featured prominently on the 2007 PBS series The Mormons. Under his direction as church historian, dramatic advances were made in church history, including creation of the Joseph Smith Papers project, construction of the new Church History Museum next to Temple Square, and greater access to scholars on a number of fronts. Terryl Givens once wrote of Elder Jensen: "Marlin Jensen has done more to further the cause of Mormon history than any person of the current generation."

No freaking way! A group of hackers managed to steal the entire season of "Games of Thrones," and they're threatening to release it to the public unless they're paid TWO MILLION dollars in Bitcoins. Do you like knowing the spoilers or do your cover your ears and sing "lalalalala?" What would you do to get a milkshake to a woman in another state who wants a special milkshake just before she passes away? It's quite a story. Who has a bat population so gigantic that it takes them 3 hours just to fly out of their caves and into the sky? Plus! Information about the excommunication of an LDS General Authority. We'd love to send you off to Christopher's Prime Steakhouse and with limo Service from Executive Transportation. When we announce it on the show, just make a comment then and you're entered! You!

Christine Jeppsen Clark is a mother of six, a former Mormon Tabernacle Choir member, a Ph.D. graduate student focusing on dementia, and a dear personal friend. She is also the daughter of the late Elder Malcolm S. Jeppsen: former LDS General Authority, personal physician and best friend to Elder Boyd K. Packer, and a GA who was directly involved in the excommunication of Avraham Gileadi (one of the September Six). In this multi-part episode with Christine we discuss: What it was like to grow up in the 1950s and 1960s in Salt Lake City as a very orthodox, devout member of a somewhat elite LDS family? What it was like to grow up the daughter of an LDS General Authority, who was both a physician to, and best friends with Elder Boyd K. Packer? Elder Jeppsen’s personal and direct involvement in the excommunication of Avraham Giliadi -- one of the September Six. How such an orthodox, committed LDS family including Christine (the daughter of a General Authority), her husband David Clark (former bishop of eight years, recent Stake Presidency member) and four of her six children could ultimately decide to leave the LDS Church, and What it’s like to leave the LDS Church as a grandparent in your 50s and 60s.
