In this week's episode, produced in collaboration with The Associated Press, secret audio recordings expose a legal playbook used by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints that keeps evidence of sex abuse out of reach of authorities. AP reporters Michael Rezendes and Jason Dearen investigate the case of a former Mormon bishop, John Goodrich, who was accused of sexually abusing his daughter Chelsea. The story opens in Hailey, Idaho, with Chelsea Goodrich and her mother, Lorraine, locked in discussions with the director of the Mormon church's risk management division, Paul Rytting. One of Rytting's jobs is to protect the church from legal liability, including sexual abuse lawsuits. The women had come to the meeting with one clear request: Would the church allow a local Idaho bishop, which in the Mormon church is akin to a Catholic priest, to testify at John Goodrich's trial? Bishop Michael Miller, who accompanied Rytting to the meeting, had heard John Goodrich's confession before he was arrested on charges of lewd behavior with a minor. Audio recordings of the meeting and others show how Rytting, despite expressing concern for what he called John Goodrich's “significant sexual transgression,” would discourage Miller from testifying, citing an Idaho law that exempts clergy from having to divulge information about child sex abuse that is gleaned in a confession. In the episode's final segment, Rezendes and Dearen sit down with guest host Michael Montgomery to discuss why states across the country exempt clergy from mandatory reporting laws that are meant to protect children from abuse.

The Growth Leader: Strategies to Drive the Top and Bottom Lines by Scott K. Edinger ABOUT THE BOOK: Growth is a leadership issue, not a sales issue. However you define business growth--total revenue, net income, margin expansion, number of products and services, or customer loyalty--sustained and strategic growth requires an organization to do more than sell by simply communicating the value of its products or services. It must create value in the way it sells by delivering a compelling experience that adds value beyond the product itself. As a leader, it's your job to build and guide that experience. The Growth Leader reveals how top executives create profitable growth through the intersection of strategy, leadership, and sales. With a clear strategy, inspiring leadership, and aligned sales, powerful leaders understand that true competitive advantage doesn't come from innovation alone but belongs to companies that use their sales organization to add and create value. In this leadership guide, you'll learn how to ensure growth strategy is aligned at every level of the company, from boardroom initiatives to daily customer interaction. Best-selling leadership author and business growth consultant Scott K. Edinger helps CEOs and leaders intentionally and strategically engage with the customer experience to differentiate, innovate, cultivate loyalty, and grow. With this growth strategy mindset, your teams will know what they're supposed to be doing, have the skills to accomplish their work at a high level and be properly supported by systems, processes, and environment. But they can only do all this if you lead them. Are you ready to be a Growth Leader? ABOUT THE AUTHOR: Scott K. Edinger is a consultant, author, advisor, and speaker who is recognized as an expert in the intersection of leadership, strategy, and sales. He has worked with Fortune 50 clients and businesses of all sizes around the world to lead business growth. He has written two other books and over a hundred articles in Forbes and Harvard Business Review, among other publications. His other books are The Hidden Leader: Discover and Develop Greatness Within Your Company (AMACOM, 2015) and The Inspiring Leader (McGraw Hill, 2009). Scott has served as an affiliate faculty member for the University of North Carolina, Kenan-Flagler School of Business. He received his undergraduate degree in Communication Studies and Rhetoric from Florida State University. And, interesting facts – he has bungee-jumped into a New Zealand canyon, and performed with the Mormon Tabernacle Choir (despite not being Mormon or knowing how to read music)!

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Lori Vallow, infamously known as the 'Doomsday Cult' mom, returned to court to face two charges of conspiracy to murder her relatives, marking a new chapter in her ongoing legal saga. Already convicted of the murder of her children, Tylee and JJ, Vallow is now accused of conspiring to kill her husband, Charles Vallow, and her niece's husband, Brandon Boudreaux. The alleged conspiracies unfolded amidst Vallow's descent into violent religious fanaticism, driven by her fixation on an impending apocalypse and her whirlwind marriage to doomsday author Chad Daybell in late 2019. Vallow, who was recently extradited from Idaho to Arizona, faced the charges during a brief court appearance. She appeared in handcuffs and an orange prison jumpsuit, confirming her identity and acknowledging the allegations against her. Currently, she is being held without bond in Maricopa County Jail. The new charges against Vallow stem from a grand jury indictment in 2021 related to the murder of her husband, Charles Vallow, in July 2019. Charles was fatally shot in Lori's Arizona home by her brother, Alex Cox, who later passed away of natural causes in December 2019. While Cox asserted self-defense as the reason for the shooting, prosecutors contend that it was a premeditated act carried out as both siblings embraced beliefs of an impending apocalypse. It is alleged that Vallow and Cox, both devout Mormons, believed that the end times were imminent and that their relatives had become possessed by zombies. They purportedly believed that they could save their loved ones by killing them, with religious zealotry serving as a justification for their actions. Prosecutors assert that the religious fervor was a cover used by the family to execute the murders. Among the alleged targets was Brandon Boudreaux, the husband of Vallow's niece, who survived a shooting from a moving car in October 2019. This incident occurred shortly after the last known sightings of Tylee and JJ. The tragic discovery of the bodies of Tylee and JJ on Chad Daybell's property in June 2020 added another layer to this complex case. Daybell is also set to stand trial for the murder of the two children in April 2024. The legal proceedings surrounding Lori Vallow have captivated the nation, shedding light on the disturbing beliefs and actions that led to the tragic deaths of her children and the alleged conspiracies against her relatives. The quest for justice and understanding in this complex case continues as the court process continues. Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

This episode may be a bit of a pep talk to myself. I KNOW that we are free to choose our mindset, but I'm currently having to work really hard to keep from getting stuck in stress and overwhelm. Today I'm using some examples from my own life to model how to intentionally shift your mindset.
“A relationship with a healer cannot exist without a wound to heal. Telling Jesus to go and heal another because ‘I'm good' doesn't allow Christ room to heal your heart and deepen a relationship with Him.”Kurt shares his story of struggling in constantly seeking validation. He got an early massive dose of feeling good enough when he was called to be a bishop/pastor in church in his twenties and then continued to ascend up in leadership responsibilities. For him, his “lightbulb moment came with the realization that while he did not struggle with an addiction to drugs or lust, he was high on validation and used it as a numbing agent that separated him from Christ and other men.Uniquely, this episode ends with a Bootcamp style prayer asking God or heal our need for validation. To fill the hole in our hearts we've tried to fill with things that are not God. You can contact Kurt through his Leading Saints podcast and website.

Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience.

When it comes to Patriarchal Blessings, there are as many experiences as there are members who give and receive them. In Episode 164, Cynthia and Susan are joined by Blakelee Ellis for a discussion about some of the many ways these highly anticipated blessings can be complicated for Latter-day Saint women. From the experience itself to the advice given or promises made, there can be plenty to unpack at the time the words are spoken, but also as we continue to revisit the transcript throughout our lives.

I have no idea what to expect from a city built by people who don't drink or smoke or, god, even have caffeine. Maybe it'll be just the same as every other city in America - half of the ones back East were founded by Puritans and teetotalers. I never had much use for religion. I remember my parents bringing me to church sometimes when I was a kid, but they weren't that devout themselves so it never really sunk in. And no, my weeks on the road have not changed my mind about God. Not even that weird encounter in Colorado. Whether it was a trick of the light or a hallucination I was having… [click, static] Who am I kidding. Trick of the light? It wasn't a trick of the light. And I've never hallucinated in my entire goddamn life, I can't imagine that all this driving has had such an impact on me that I've suddenly started now. I've mostly been trying not to think about it. A ghost, a spirit, some kind of angel or demon…whatever it was, I haven't seen anything like it since and I'm— Even if it was a ghost, just because I believe in the afterlife doesn't mean I believe in gods. And I'm not sure that's what it was! I'm not sure I do believe in the afterlife! Maybe it was just… [click, static] Maybe I should pick up some Mormon writing in Utah, see if they have anything to say about it. I have always wondered about the multiple wives thing. How does that work exactly? Even if all the women really were happy with the situation—which I'm not saying is impossible, it just seems like a system where maybe they don't get that much say either way—I can't really fit the puzzle pieces together in my head. Is it easier if you all have one relationship within the larger…structure, or does everyone have relationships with everyone? I mean, I lived in New York for years and hung out in the art scene, I knew people who had both kinds of situations, and it never made sense to me in those cases either. Not to say it didn't work for the people I knew, I'm just not sure it'd work for me. With the benefit of hindsight and plenty of time to reflect over the last few years, I've come to recognize that I…fixate. It hasn't happened very often in my life, but when I lo—when I like someone, really like someone, I get a little bit of tunnel vision about them, whether I realize or not. And if I ever got that person, I don't think I'd be selfless enough to share. Maybe that's unhealthy, I don't know. It certainly hasn't helped me have good romantic relationships. I think one of the reasons I never was really able to commit to Martha is because by that point I was already crazy— [click, static] It wasn't fair to Martha. The way I was I just wish I'd figured it out at the time, either to tell Martha the truth, make her understand it was never about her or to, ideally, give myself a smack upside the head and get over whatever feelings my heart decided to develop without my consent. If I'd known what I felt back then—really felt—I would've done everything in my power to make sure I stopped feeling that way. [click, static] What about you, Birdie? Did you leave a partner behind? If the world were suddenly full of people, is that something you'd want? I guess I can ask you about it on Thursday. Whiskey out. [click, static]

Over a period of about 3 decades, the LDS Church's First Presidency gave away a variety of older books to their church employees along with a note of recommendation for each book.

The ongoing drama of Chad and Lori Daybell, entangled in accusations of extreme beliefs, child disappearances, and murder, continues to baffle and horrify. Chad Daybell's impending trial and Lori's potential upcoming trial raise profound questions about their mindsets and the extent of their culpability. Renowned author Leah Sottile, in her book “When the Moon Turns to Blood,” delves into this perplexing case, shedding light on a story that seems far from reaching its conclusion. Sottile began her investigation in December 2019 when news broke of the missing children and Lori's disappearance. Her interest was piqued by the Daybells' association with fringe beliefs on the periphery of the LDS church. “It started with a question,” Sottile explains, “about the fringes of the LDS church.” Her previous work on far-right extremism in the Western United States and the fringes of the LDS church provided a foundational understanding that helped unravel the Daybells' belief system. The Daybells' journey into notoriety is rooted in extreme survivalist, prepper, and end-times communities. These groups often operate on the fringes of mainstream religious beliefs, exploring and endorsing apocalyptic narratives. “It's a sort of end-times community,” Sottile remarks, highlighting the Daybells' involvement in such circles. The story of Chad and Lori Daybell is not just about two individuals but about the broader context of religious extremism. Sottile's deep dive into their world reveals a complex interplay of personal beliefs, extreme interpretations of faith, and a lethal concoction of manipulation and control. The Daybells met at a conference, a meeting ground for like-minded individuals drawn to apocalyptic and fringe Mormon beliefs. “Lori was very interested in his ideas,” Sottile notes, emphasizing Chad's role as a speaker and influencer in these circles. Leah Sottile's research also sheds light on the broader dynamics within the LDS church that may inadvertently facilitate the emergence of such extreme beliefs. She talks about the church's encouragement of personal revelation and a relationship with God, which, while empowering on one level, can lead to problematic interpretations when mixed with fringe ideologies. Sottile delves into the history of the LDS church and its leaders, such as Ezra Taft Benson, whose conspiratorial views may have indirectly influenced the mindset of followers like the Daybells. The Daybells' case is a stark reminder of the thin line between faith and fanaticism. As the trials proceed, one wonders if either Chad or Lori will ever recognize the gravity of their actions or if they are too far gone in their delusions. Their story is a complex tapestry of belief, manipulation, and the human capacity for self-deception. As the legal proceedings against Chad and Lori Daybell continue, the world watches with bated breath, wondering what new revelations will come to light. Will their trials provide closure and justice for the victims, or will they simply unravel further layers of this disturbing saga? Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

In the next four episodes, Valerie welcomes Maxine Hanks to the Latter Day Struggles podcast where Maxine offers a detailed account of her own life story, beginning with her call to help her LDS church see its own feminist roots, her word editing "Women and Authority" and details not only her own intriguing experience as one of the "September 6" but also her sacred and circuitous 20-year journey of faith expansion following her excommunication that culminated in her decision to return to formal LDS affiliation.

At age 7, Richard went to his first movie in a theatre, the 1920s art deco Granada Theatre in Mt. Vernon, IL. He immediately knew he wanted to be involved with filmmaking. After high school, he attended one year at Brigham Young University. During a Star Wars movie, seeing the battle between good and evil, Richard chose to serve an LDS mission and delay his film career. He went to Mexico where he was thrown in jail for proselytizing. At the end of his LDS mission, his mission president advised him to go home and “build your own kingdom.” In an effort to begin his own kingdom, Richard married an LDS wife headed to Hollywood where he decided to create independent films. His first film caused him to re-evaluated his life and re-dedicate himself to his LDS faith. Grilling burgers for his family, he suddenly got the idea to blend his independent filmmaking with his Mormon religion. As he became the father of Mormon cinema, God worked on his heart.
On today's Bible Answer Man broadcast, Hank reads A. W. Tozer's commentary on Abraham and Isaac. Through Abraham's obedience in offering up the son of the promise, he learned to let go of his most treasured possession and found that his real treasure was inward and eternal.Hank also answers the following questions:How do we answer atheists who question the morality of God in asking Abraham to sacrifice his son? (4:05)Since the Bible was used to support slavery in the past, a co-worker said we will probably rethink homosexuality in the future too. What do you think about this? (6:52)Are mediums really able to conjure up the spirits of the dead as we see in 1 Samuel 28? (15:11)Could you explain more about why you think Joyce Meyer's theology is in error? I thought she was a sound teacher. (17:27)When discussing the Gospels with skeptics, I hear them refer to a Q source. Do you know anything about this? (21:45)Can you elaborate on a previous question about whether or not someone would see their Mormon family members in heaven? (23:22)
While most church history sites provide guided tours or historical markers for visitors, some contain little to no information. Yet where might we turn for more insight on these locations? How can we engage with these living sites and gain a witness of the Restoration? Dr. Mary Jane Woodger and her colleagues answer such questions in the book series Search, Ponder, and Pray: A Guide for Travel and Studies. In this episode, Dr. Woodger discusses the power that comes from being in church history sites. She shares how to use mini devotionals to think, talk, and learn about these locations like a church historian, and she details how such works can complement the resources and activities provided at each of these holy places.

I have a friend who has 7 kids, all born in September. That means that they were all conceived around Christmas. We've often joked about this with her, but it turns out that they aren't the only ones who get especially horny during the holiday season. In fact, more babies are conceived in December than any other month! Why is this? That's what we're talking about in the episode. There are some biological factors, some psychological factors, as well as some social and environmental factors that are playing a role in this, but whatever the reason, it's a great time of year to connect sexually with your spouse!
