Daily Boost Podcast Ambition vs Peace of Mind August 31, 2026 | Episode 5531 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description You set the goal. You hit the goal. And then you stand there, wondering why it doesn't feel the way you thought it would. I've watched that happen hundreds of times, and I finally figured out what's missing. It isn't ambition. It's the ground you're standing on when you launch. Today I'm walking you through what I call a peaceful base — the six areas that have to be solid before anything big you build will hold. Time. Body. Mind. Money. Relationships. Meaning. Go big. Just don't launch off a hot mess. Let's get your foundation right. Featured Story I brought this whole idea up with my wife over breakfast, and she asked me to explain it in a way she could actually feel. So I pointed at her laptop. Every single morning, before she eats, she flips it open and balances our books. House and business, both. She looks at the numbers, sees that we're fine, closes the laptop, and her whole day settles. I would never do that. It would drive me crazy. I don't touch it. But watching her that morning, something clicked for me. That laptop isn't bookkeeping. That's her ground. That's the thing she stands on before she does anything else. And most people don't have one. Important Points Your schedule serves you, or it serves everyone else. Control your time first, because it controls everything after. A peaceful base isn't a retirement plan. It's the active ground you build on so your big goals actually hold up. Six areas hold you up: time, body, mind, money, relationships, and meaning. Weak in one and the whole thing wobbles. Memorable Quotes We set the goal, we reach the goal, we accomplish the goal, and yet we don't get what we really, really wanted. You can't have a cool life on a hot mess. If you want to launch something big, you better have a solid foundation. If you don't control your time, you control nothing. And you can control your time. I know it's hard. Scott's Three-Step Approach Pick the one area of your base that feels shakiest right now — time, body, mind, money, relationships, or meaning. Fix that one with a small daily habit you'll actually stick to, like my wife balancing the books every single morning. Only then launch your big goal from that solid ground, and keep the base strong while you chase whatever you want. Chapters 0:14 - Why reaching the goal still leaves you empty 2:23 - The day I realized I only wanted peace of mind 2:46 - What a peaceful base is and why it holds you up 4:23 - Rocket launch pads and the size of your dreams 5:22 - My wife's ritual and taking back your time 9:35 - Money, relationships, and what anchors it all 11:53 - Start small today and let it compound for decades Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: https://motivationtomove.com YouTube: https://youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: https://instagram.com/heyscottsmith Facebook Page: https://facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: https://dailyboostpodcast.com/facebook Learn more about your ad choices.

What does real recovery from panic disorder actually look like?Today I'm joined by Tom: a musician, Panic to Peace student, and one of the most genuine humans I've had on this podcast. Tom's story isn't a cinematic highlight reel of overnight transformation. It's honest, messy, and exactly what recovery actually looks like.At 28, Tom had a near death experience that triggered debilitating panic attacks and completely derailed his life. For years, freeways, movies, and even simple daily tasks felt impossible. Then he did the work, slowly, consistently, one small step at a time. And now at 40, he's about to release the song he almost never got to record.We talk about what finally clicked for him, the blind faith it takes to keep going when progress feels invisible, why flare ups are part of the process and not a sign you're failing, and what it felt like to get on a freeway, drive four exits, and know everything had changed.This one is for anyone who wonders if recovery is actually possible. It is. Tom is proof.September 2026 is your last chance to enroll in Panic to Peace until September 2027.GET ON THE WAITLIST: https://www.ahealthypush.com/live-panic-to-peaceLISTEN TO THE PODCAST: https://www.ahealthypush.com/podcastFOLLOW ME: @ahealthypushGET THIS EPISODE'S SHOW NOTES: https://www.ahealthypush.com/post/p2psuccess-tom
An 83-year-old great-grandmother, legally blind and in failing health, has spent nearly a year in a South Korean detention cell — and Newt believes her case is part of something far larger. Dr. Hak Ja Han, co-founder of the Family Federation for World Peace and Unification and known to millions worldwide as the Mother of Peace, faces charges that could send her to prison for 13 years. With a verdict days away, Dr. Demian Dunkley, president of Family Federation USA, joins Newt to speak on her behalf — tracing her remarkable journey from a six-year-old girl fleeing North Korea on foot to building a global peace movement spanning 170 countries. Newt and Dr. Dunkley also address what Newt calls a global war on God: the worldwide pattern of governments targeting religious liberty, from South Korea's courtroom to Nigeria's killing fields.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Colombia is reeling from the False Positive scandal. Incentivised by the government, soldiers abducted and killed over 7,000 innocent civilians, falsely presenting them as guerrilla fighters in an attempt to convince the nation they were winning a bloody civil conflict that had raged for over 50 years. We meet Blanca Monroy, the mother of a murdered young man, who battled the establishment to bring the scandal to national attention. We join forensic anthropologist, Cesar Medina as he hunts for the bodies of the missing. Jaime Trujillo is an ex-soldier, desperate to atone for his role in around 40 of the murders. Now he has turned whistleblower, providing detailed evidence to the Jurisdicción Especial para la Paz (JEP) – the special tribunal established under Colombia's peace agreement to investigate crimes committed during the conflict. But can an innovative system of justice bring those responsible to justice?
There's something about this moment in the year that asks us to look more closely—not only at who we are, but at who is beside us. The people in our lives may be playing a far greater role in our growth, our challenges, and our next chapter than we realize. And there may be something available to you right now that you simply cannot access on your own.This week, we're exploring the hidden power of connection, the surprising places growth can emerge, and what may happen when we stop keeping certain people at a distance. Some opportunities only appear when we're willing to let others in. If you've been trying to figure everything out by yourself, this is an episode you won't want to miss.Join us for the next episode of Weekly Energy Boost with @ElishevaBalas and @EitanYardeni.

What if the peace you've been praying for requires you to stop entertaining the things that keep disturbing it?We can pray for peace, ask God for clarity, and say we're tired of the chaos—but still leave the door open to the people, patterns, and situations that keep bringing it back.In You're Praying for Peace but Entertaining Chaos, Nyra and Tyreen get honest about the role we sometimes play in our own disruption. Through their personal experiences with faith, boundaries, and protecting their peace, they unpack what it looks like to recognize the chaos we've become comfortable with—and take responsibility for what we continue to allow.If you've been asking for peace while holding onto something you already know is disturbing it, this conversation might be the one you need.Take your walk, press play, and ask yourself: What am I still allowing that no longer belongs in my life?
Peace doesn't begin with getting everyone around you to agree. It begins with getting your own heart right before God. This week on The Connecting Podcast, Paul and Shelby unpack Jesus' call to be peacemakers, exposing the envy, anger, and selfishness that stand in the way of genuine peace.For more episodes of The Connecting Podcast, visit PaulTripp.com/Connecting.

The promised land of intimacy is not a quiet house. It is a payout. You walk in looking for the land of milk and honey embodied within a person. Someone to end the wandering. Someone to cash the check the first house bounced. Metaphorically speaking, Egypt is or was that first house. First deep love and first fracture in the same hands. Parental potters, works in progress, missing chances to love on you and tend what you needed. You loved them and quietly loathed them in the same breath. You lowered the price of being shaped. The labor was the cost of the strategy you had to develop, which let you keep the love for the parental potter's hands while surviving the mess their brokenness created within the environment and within your chest. Canaan is the fantasy that one later body will be the exodus. Disney named it happily ever after. Spacious. Sweet. Rest from that labor. Needs that no longer have to go on sale. No more exposure. No more self-knowledge. Happily ever after shirks the responsibility of a holographic relational environment. That environment is a crucible. Psychological nudity. Being known without a costume. The credits roll so you never have to stand in that. Inheritance, as if a vow sworn to a people could be performed by a spouse. You call that chemistry, destiny, finally. Intuition says I can rest now. Ask which climate trained that rest. The potter's house or here. Authority sold you settlement as love, then sold you the ending. Reason says one finite person cannot flow with milk and honey on command, and cannot cancel the crucible. Canaan in a couple is destination-logic, not peace-logic. In the text the land is sworn possession, deliverance into fruit after barrenness, pasture after scarcity, rest from war. Cities you did not build. Wells you did not dig. Vineyards you did not plant. Eat, be full, do not forget. That cargo gets dropped on a lover and renamed happily ever after. They will see you so the first invisibility dies. They will stay so the first leaving gets reversed. They will tend what the first potters missed. Conflict then feels like eviction from the land. Ordinary human limit feels like exile, like having to raise the price of yourself again. Peace becomes a product you buy with silence, sex, image, or church. You were not relating. You were occupying. The land already had people in it. Promise arrives with contest. Spies taste the fruit and still panic at the giants. Watch what you do after closeness. That is the empirical test. Do you soften into here, or do you scan for proof the giants are gone, the old quota is canceled, and the story has finally gone to credits. Their actual life becomes what must be driven out so your hunger can settle. A healthy bond is the anti-promised land because it refuses to hire one nervous system to finish the potter's job and refuses to play happily ever after with a human being. Presence is not a refund for Egypt. Relating is not collection for missed tending. Happily ever after is how the mask avoids psychological nudity. A kiss cannot annex a past. A vow cannot unwrite a childhood. The vows you can keep are smaller and harder. Tell the truth. Do not vanish. Do not turn their life into your territory. Stay in the exposure. Stay in the crucible. Covenant in the book can be lost. Exile sits in the same library as milk and honey. So can the marriage that was asked to be Canaan. The mask that will fight this hour is simple. I am the one who is owed rest from the labor of being shaped. I am the one who is owed a land that flows and a story that ends. If I drop that, I do not know who I am. Name one result that would change your mind. If you cannot, you are not inquiring. You are defending the deed. Are you with them in this room, or are you occupying them as the last Canaan that might still make you whole, waiting for them to keep a promise they never made, in a land they are not.

Most people fail at the game of life because they choose not to protect their inner peace. This is not a hokey podcast episode about the Law of Attraction, even though I believe in that stuff. What I am talking about it people allowing their validation from external forces or people. I used to be insecure about the outside world. I thought if I had a Lambo or Jet lease, I would finally be validated. I don't have those things anymore, but I'm doing alright. I have plenty of money and realized I don't need most of the shit this world has to offer. Just my family, my life, and the ability ot protect my inner peace. When you can control that, you can be in your true power.

In this contemplative episode of 5 Minutes of Peace, spiritual teacher Michael Monk introduces listeners to one of the foundational practices from his Awakening Course — a meditation he calls The Mirror Meditation.Michael explains that we are all reflections of one another, making every encounter an opportunity for greater self-awareness. In this guided practice, he invites listeners to use his face as a mirror, gently focusing on both of his eyes with equal attention. This balanced way of seeing is designed to quiet mental activity, harmonize the brain's two hemispheres, and encourage a deeper state of presence.As the meditation unfolds, participants may notice subtle shifts in perception. Some experience changes in light, color, or the appearance of an aura. Others may observe facial features seeming to soften, change, or even dissolve. Michael emphasizes that these experiences are simply invitations to relax, remain present, and become more aware of the energy that surrounds us.Perhaps the most meaningful part of the practice comes after the meditation itself. Michael encourages listeners to repeat the exercise while looking into their own reflection. By meeting ourselves with openness instead of judgment, we begin to cultivate a deeper relationship with our own inner wisdom and intuition.His closing reminder is both simple and profound:"Remember to love what you see."It is an invitation to approach ourselves with compassion, curiosity, and acceptance—recognizing that peace begins by seeing ourselves with new eyes.About Today's GuestMichael Monk has been teaching spirituality, metaphysics, and energy mastery since 2011. Through meditation, intuitive development, and consciousness practices, he helps students cultivate greater presence, spiritual awareness, and personal transformation.To learn more about Michael and his work, visit:www.michaelmonk.bioMichael 's Facebook pageMichael's IG: https://www.instagram.com/michaelmonkavatar/On YouTube at: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLhiIVwHdt6F1Kym6nj4h0AThank you for listening — and thank yourself for taking 5 Minutes of Peace.We are all connected on a path of love, service, and peace for ourselves and others.

Welcome back to the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I'm pulling the curtain back on the 12 years I spent sacrificing my peace—all in the name of “being responsible.” Spoiler: doing everything by the book doesn't always get you the life you want. I've walked the Dave Ramsey road, then flipped my mindset with Ramit Sethi, and found what both of them missed. This is the episode where I get real about the cost of keeping your head down and the breakthrough that changed everything (hint: it involved a 6-year-old's drawing and a gut punch of realization).If you've ever found yourself hustling for safety, ticking every box, but waking up asking, “Is this all there is?”—this one's for you. Get ready for some truth bombs, laughs, soul searching, and a pathway to REAL freedom. Because earning more doesn't make you free. Building your money machine does.IN TODAY'S EPISODE, YOU'LL HEAR:The silent danger of living “below your means” for too long—and why responsibility can secretly keep you smallWhy asking “Can I afford it?” is a lack question in disguise (and what to ask instead)How Ramit Sethi's philosophy leveled up my life—but still left me running on the treadmillThe heartbreaking drawing from my son that shattered my workaholic facadeThe real difference between an earnings machine and a money machine (and why peace is the only upgrade that matters)Hit subscribe and join me as we stop trading our lives for dollars, and finally build a money machine that gives your time back.

Michael is joined by Yaakov Katz, former Editor-in-Chief of The Jerusalem Post and author of While Israel Slept: How Hamas Surprised the Most Powerful Military in the Middle East, for an assessment of the Israeli perspective following months of joint strikes on Iran with the U.S. Yaakov explains the political impact of the war in Israel and the origins of the widening diplomatic daylight between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Washington. He also previews the upcoming Israeli elections, analyzing Netanyahu's fight for political survival against a surging opposition led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eizenkot. Finally, Yaakov evaluates the operational stalemate in Gaza, conditions surrounding the Board of Peace's 15-point disarmament plan, and the enduring challenges to long-term stability.
We often think we need confidence, motivation, or certainty before we act—but the brain usually works in the opposite direction.In this Think Thursday episode, Molly explores how the brain uses prediction, feedback, and experience to update what it believes is possible.You'll learn:Why the brain constantly predicts what will happen nextHow prediction error gives the brain new informationWhat Albert Bandura's research on self-efficacy tells us about building confidenceWhy actually doing something creates evidence that thinking and planning cannotHow feedback can recalibrate confidence over timeWhy uncertainty does not automatically mean a decision is wrongHow small experiments can build both confidence and clarityA simple process to try:Notice the predictionTake the smallest action that can test itLook honestly at the feedbackUpdate what you believeConfidence is not always the entrance requirement. Sometimes it is what your brain builds after you walk through the door.Key takeaway: You don't always act because you know. Sometimes you know because you acted. ★ Support this podcast ★
Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: When you are crushed and broken hearted, where do you go to find hope? Jesus said that in this life we will have pain, heartbreak, and trials. So how do we deal with our pain? What does it look like to walk with God in our grief. Our guest today has experienced her share of pain including a traumatic brain injury as well as cancer diagnoses for two of her daughters. In her suffering, Linda boldly asked God tough questions like How do I keep going? God, where are you? And How do I keep trusting. In honor of Grief Awareness Day, today we’re going to be talking about Daring to Hope When Your Heart Is Shattered: Trusting God Through Pain and Loss. Quotables from the episode: I'm going to dare to hope anyway. I am going to dare to hope. God, I can't give up. I have to keep trusting you. I will not give up. I will not give up. I will not give up. Hope does not come from a change in your circumstances, but from a change in your thinking. I had to look up, I had to look at him, and I had to say ‘I won't give up.’ You are my hope, God, and my hope will be in you. If I got on my knees and opened my hands and surrendered to him, I got my perspective right because my eyes were lifted up to him. The greatest way to pour hope into your hurting heart is to sink deep into the love of God. Because being with you, my beloved, is the most important thing in my life. Peace can't be in our circumstances. It has to be in him. Scripture References: Lamentations 3:21-24 “Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease. Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning.

Anthony Locascio returns to Everyday Endorphins nearly a year after our first conversation — this time, as he puts it, a fundamentally different person.After a difficult year led him to a 10-day silent Vipassana meditation experience, Anthony was forced to sit with the emotions, patterns, and parts of himself he had spent years trying to escape. What followed completely changed his relationship with discomfort, ego, addiction, creativity, and ultimately, happiness.We unpack what happens when you stop trying to think your way out of your feelings, why acceptance doesn't mean avoiding difficult emotions, and whether the happiness we're all chasing might actually be something much quieter: peace.A conversation about letting go, sitting with discomfort, trusting life's timing, and learning to experience the full spectrum of being human.

But for me, the real treat of this episode is my guest. Philip Metres is a poet, scholar, and TRANSLATOR OF ARSENY TARKOVSKY'S POETRY. That's right, the father of Andrei whose poems feature prominently in several of his films, especially including Stalker. Phil and his co-translator Dimitri Psurtsev published I Burned at the Feast: Selected Poems of Arseny Tarkovsky, an approachable volume that shows the father as an artistic force, a fact the son clearly knew. Beyond his translation work, Phil has amassed a heap of impressive accomplishments. Guggenheim and National Endowment for the Arts fellowships! A Pushcart Prize! He's the director of the Peace, Justice, and Human Rights program at John Carroll University! And I just happen to know him socially as a fellow Clevelander and 80s punk rock fan. Who better to talk to about Andrei Tarkovsky's status as "the poet of cinema"?

They also explore balancing work and family, finding your way back to faith, essential backcountry gear, recovering after an alcohol relapse, and navigating a teenage son's growing independence.

It is 50 years since a peace movement began in Northern Ireland spawned by the killing of three children. There had been seven years of sectarian violence. On 10 August 1976, Anne Maguire was walking along Finaghy Road North in West Belfast with her children when an out-of-control car plunged into them. It was driven by a member of the Irish Republican Army paramilitary group who had been fatally wounded at the wheel by British Army soldiers chasing him. Six-week-old baby, Andrew, who was in his pram and eight-year-old Joanne, who was on her bicycle, were instantly killed. Their brother John, just two-and-a-half, died the following day in hospital. The children's uncle, Gerry Grehan, tells Josephine McDermott about the life-changing tragedy and how it resulted in the Peace People, founded by Mairead Corrigan (later known as Mairead Corrigan Maguire), Betty Williams and Ciaran McKeown.It was a peace movement which attracted support from across the religious divide. The sight of Protestants from the Shankill Road and Catholics from the Falls Road in Belfast walking side-by-side drew international attention. There were dozens of marches in other towns and cities including Ballymena, Londonderry, Enniskillen, Newry and London. Mairead Corrigan and Betty Williams were praised by world leaders and awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.Witness History is a short BBC World Service podcast about history that takes you inside big moments from the past through first-hand testimony and archive.

You'll explore culture and ideas too: Sweden's Expedition Robinson, often credited as the first modern reality TV game show; the friendship between The Beatles' George Harrison and Indian sitarist Ravi Shankar; and the night a tiger attack brought Las Vegas superstars Siegfried and Roy's show to a sudden end.

Daily Bread Bible Journal → https://israelguys.link/dailybread-JRN Hamas has been probing the waters with Israel's defenses yet again by launching a form of attack we've not seen in a couple of years. Obviously Prime Minister Netanyahu and the defense minister are vowing quick action against Hamas, but their hands may now be tied by the board of peace. Also the board of peace is finally launching construction on an actual military base in Gaza for international forces. Ben Hilton breaks it down for you on today's video.

Susanna Peace Lovell is a single mother, advocate, and certified professional life coach who has spent over 20 years raising her daughter Arizona, who lives with autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, anxiety, and multiple food allergies. She is also a support caregiver for her father, who has undergone several brain procedures — making her caregiving journey multilayered. In this conversation, Susanna shares about how her Taiwanese cultural background shaped her caregiving experience in profound ways and how that silence influenced her path to becoming a fierce advocate for disability families. She gets real about her experience with severe postpartum depression and anxiety, the power of taking life one minute at a time, and how journaling has become like oxygen for her survival and growth, especially on those daunting days. We also talk about her ongoing quest to turn down the noise in her life and the soul care practices, including Reiki and meditation, that keep her grounded.

Brother Gowens' pulpit offering on 8/16/26 is an analysis of the precious blessing of God's peace, as the apostle highlights in Philippians 4:6-7. This supernatural gift that God gives to His children is foreign to everything with which the world is familiar. It defies rational explanation; it baffles secular observers; it passes understanding. Perfect peace, however, is a reality in the believer's experience.

Wild animals carry a raw, simultaneous presence of beauty and danger that is difficult to fully articulate, which is exactly what makes the picture in Isaiah 11 so stunning. A wolf living with a lamb. A leopard resting beside a goat. A little child leading them all. These pairings shatter every assumption we hold about the natural order of things. They are describing something that has never existed in a fallen world. A day is coming when the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea, and in that day, radical and complete peace will come to all of creation. No more fear, no more power struggle, no more tooth and claw. The everlasting reign of Jesus will bring the peace that every corner of creation has been groaning for. For now, we live in the in-between. We catch glimpses of that coming reality in our friendships with animals, in moments of unexpected beauty in the natural world, and in the steady trust that what is broken is not forever. All shall be well. Today's Bible Verse "They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."— Isaiah 11:9, NIV Ponder Today The stunning pairings in Isaiah 11 are meant to shatter our assumptions. Wolf with lamb. Leopard with goat. Child leading them all. God is describing something so far outside our current experience that it can only arrive with the fullness of His knowledge filling the earth. We live in the in-between of here but not yet. The promise of Isaiah 11 is future, but we are not without glimpses of it now — in the animals we love, in moments of beauty in nature, and in every act of peace and care we extend to the world around us. The current brokenness of creation is not its final state. Romans 8 tells us that creation itself groans, waiting for redemption. That groan is not hopeless — it is the groan of something that knows restoration is coming. Waiting faithfully means making the most of opportunities to promote peace right now. We cannot bring Isaiah 11 into full reality, but we can be agents of the peace it describes in the lives and world around us while we wait for the One who will. A Prayer for You Today Root of Jesse, Scripture speaks of a coming day when You will rule in peace and righteousness, when the world will be filled with the knowledge of You and all will confess that Jesus is Lord. With Your rule, peace will come to all of creation. I long for this day when wars will cease, humans will live in harmony with Your good creation, and death will die. Right now, I find myself in the in-between of here but not yet. Help me wait in faithfulness, making the most of my opportunities to promote peace in the lives and world around me. May I live with steady trust that the current brokenness of creation is not forever. Peace is coming. And so I trust, in the words of Julian of Norwich, that all shall be well. In Jesus' name, Amen.

If you've spent years trying to lose weight, only to find yourself going up and down within the same range, this episode is for you. I talk about a game many women have been playing with their weight for years without even realizing it. You have a number you don't want to go above, a number you want to reach, and a range in between where your brain decides it's okay to relax. I share how I played this game myself for 30 years and why menopause can make it harder to keep playing. Instead of focusing on losing weight, I challenge you to accept where you are and start paying more attention to what's happening in your body. Eat when you're hungry, stop when you're full, understand emotional hunger, pay attention and become more connected to your body.

What happens when you spend your life trying to find your way in a religion that never seems to have a space for you? Today, Mormon Stories welcomes Eli McCann, attorney, writer, podcaster, and humor columnist for The Salt Lake Tribune, to hear insights into his upbringing as a gay man in the LDS faith.Eli knew from a young age that he was gay, but understood that there would never be a place for him as an openly gay man in Mormonism. He served a mission, held leadership callings, and became deeply involved in the church while largely keeping his sexuality to himself. Eventually, after moving to Palau and serving as a Young Men's president, Eli reached a point where he could no longer reconcile his life with the church's teachings about homosexuality.He shares what led him to stop attending, come out to his family, and ultimately resign his membership—including the memorable experience of resigning with a Mormon bishop on top of a Book of Mormon. We also discuss the 2015 LGBTQ+ policy, his evolving views on faith, and why he has chosen to remain in Utah despite his complicated relationship with Mormonism.Eli is now known for finding humor in the quirks of Mormon culture through his writing for The Salt Lake Tribune. His new book, We're Thankful for the Moisture: A Gay Guy's Guide to Mormon Faith, Family, and Fruit Preservation, collects many of those stories and explores the intersections of Mormon culture, family, faith, and life as a gay man in Utah.This is a conversation about faith, family, sexuality, and learning to move forward without losing meaningful parts of your past.You can purchase Eli's new book here: https://www.signaturebooks.com/books/p/were-thankful-for-the-moisture___________________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.
