Welcome back for Part 22 of our Joseph Smith the Podcast series with Dr. John G. Turner as we continue to cover his new book “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet.”In this episode, we explore one of the most controversial and lesser-known chapters in early Latter-day Saint history –the rise of the Danites, a secretive paramilitary organization formed during the turbulent Missouri period of 1838.We trace tensions between Mormons and non-Mormons escalated into organized violence, how Joseph Smith, Sidney Rigdon, and other church leaders responded, and what this meant for the future of the Latter-day Saint movement. Along the way, we discuss excommunications, failed settlements, political conflicts, and the enduring question: Did Joseph Smith authorize the Danites' violent actions?This is the first half of Chapter 19 of the book, covering the years 1838-1839 in Missouri –where “Zion” collided with the American frontier.Please purchase the book here.To support this series please donate here.

The podcast, hosted by Dan, marks the relaunch of the show after a break, announcing that future episodes will feature solo content, interviews with business leaders, and segments with "Becky," focusing on business growth, professional development, and leadership. The core belief driving the show is that everyone is a leader with a purpose, even if they don't realize it. The show is also expanding from audio to full video production.The main topic of this episode is addressing a common concern among business owners: employee retention and motivation. Dan argues that businesses should strive for employees who "buy in" to the company's vision, as this leads to above-and-beyond work, citing Walt Disney's ability to cast a big vision as an example.The host then presents a list of seven key strategies for motivating employees and encouraging greater participation:7 Ways to Motivate Your EmployeesRecognize Employee Achievements: Go beyond simple gestures like a pizza party. Praise and encourage good work specifically and personally. Consistently pointing out flaws (as one of Dan's past managers did) leads to discouragement; acknowledging success is vital to making employees feel noticed and valuable.Provide Opportunities for Growth: Business owners, especially small business owners, cannot afford not to invest in their people's growth. Citing the "Law of the Lid" (from John Maxwell), the leader must grow first to be able to elevate those beneath them. Offering growth opportunities shows care, acknowledges talent, and enables the business to grow through its people.Create a Positive Work Environment: A positive environment is achieved through both emotional and physical means. Emotionally, it means being supportive even when times are tough. Physically, it requires a clean, tidy, and well-maintained workspace (no broken equipment or clutter), as a messy environment automatically spikes stress.Promote a Healthy Work-Life Balance: While employers don't have to "babysit," providing adequate time off, vacation, and sick leave is a powerful motivator and shows the business cares for the individual. Burning out employees with excessive hours and minimal time off will destroy morale and lead to high turnover.Provide Autonomy: Avoid micromanaging, which increases mistakes and frustration. Once an employee is properly trained, a leader should let them do their job. Granting autonomy is an acknowledgment of their competence.Foster a Culture of Collaboration: Move away from a top-down structure and involve employees in the process. The key is to teach them to be problem-solvers, not complainers. Leaders should initially present a small problem with a pre-prepared solution, opening it up for discussion and buy-in. By repeating this process, teams learn to offer solutions instead of merely complaining, which builds a collaborative and motivating culture.Be Respectful and Honest: Leaders must be honest about their own mistakes (i.e., admitting when a business decision didn't work). When coaching employees, be honest about facts ("You were late 5 out of the last 10 days") rather than using generalizations ("You're always late"). Treat employees, who are the helpers and the backbone of the business, with respect.The episode concludes by encouraging listeners to use these strategies to lift up their people, who will, in turn, lift up the business.Have a question?

We are back today with part 21 of our Joseph Smith Podcast series with Dr. John Turner, discussing his new book Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet.In this episode, we explore one of the most fascinating and consequential moments in early Latter-day Saint history –the Kirtland Bank Scandal. Chapter 18 titled “Follies” (1836-1837), captures a turbulent period when Joseph SMith and the Saints in Kirtland, Ohio, faced financial ruin, internal dissent, and the unraveling of faith and community.We trace how the ambitious completion of the Kirtland Temple left the Saints deep in debt and how Joseph Smith's attempt to solve these financial woes through the creation of the Kirtland Safety Society Bank (or “anti” Bank) spiraled into one of the earliest crises of the Restoration. Against the backdrop of President ANdrew Jackson's anti-bank crusade and the Panic of 1837, the Saints' experiment with banking, prophecy, and faith would test their loyalty, their leadership, and their limits.The story unfolds through dramatic events: Joseph and Sidney hiding from sheriffs, treasure-digging expeditions to Salem in search of divine relief from debt, and the chaotic collapse of confidence in the unchartered “anti-bank.” We discuss how this episode intertwined religious revelation and financial desperation – and how it triggered what became the largest apostasy in early church history.Please purchase the book here.To support this series please donate here. One half of all donations will go to Dr. Turner for as long as he is participating in the series.___________________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.

Is Nahom really the strongest evidence for the truthfulness of the Book of Mormon? In this episode, we take a deep dive into noe of the most cited archaeological “proofs” of the Book of Mormon -the discovery of altars inscribed with the letters NHM in Yemen.John Dehlin and attorney and former clerk from the Idaho Supreme Court, Kolby Reddish examine what the text of the Book of Mormon actually says about Nahom, where it's supposed to be located, and whether the archaeological evidence matches up. Along the way, we look at how apologists, scholars, and critics have each interpreted this find -and what it really says about the historicity of the Book of Mormon.We also examine whether or not Joseph Smith could have known about Nahom (or Nehem) from maps or Biblical references, and how issues like confirmation bias and faith-based reasoning play into the debate.This conversation aims to be evidence-based, thoughtful, and respectful -seeking understanding amid polarization in the Mormon and ex-Mormon communities.___________________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.

If you've ever felt like your email list is too small to matter or wondered what to actually say to the people on it, this episode is about to change the way you think about email marketing. I sat down with Amy Porterfield - yes, that Amy Porterfield - to talk about list building, storytelling, and staying consistent, especially when your list feels like it's barely getting started. Amy went from working in the corporate world for Tony Robbins to becoming one of the most trusted teachers in digital marketing. She's the creator of Digital Course Academy, host of the Online Marketing Made Easy podcast, and one of the biggest advocates for growing your business through the power of your email list. Your Email List Is Where the Magic Happens As Amy says, social media is rented land. Your email list is the only platform you truly own. If you have even one subscriber, talk to that person like you're writing just for them. Your list will make you money over and over again, but you have to do the work to grow it. Amy's simple steps: Get clear on who you want to serve and how you want to serve them. Create a freebie (lead magnet) that solves one small problem. Set up your CRM and get that freebie out there. Promote it often! Talk about your freebie on social media every single week. Consistency Builds Trust When I asked Amy how to keep showing up in email, her answer was simple: consistency. She sends her newsletter every Tuesday morning, no matter what. Her formula: Start with a story that connects back to the reader. Share two pieces of valuable content from others. Teach something simple and actionable. End with a personal story (and add her podcast link in the P.S.) People open emails from people they trust. And trust is built when your name keeps showing up in their inbox. Storytelling That Sells (Without Feeling Salesy) Amy shared that storytelling has become one of the most powerful tools in her emails. When people feel seen and understood, they stick around. And they buy. She often shares stories between her email and social platforms. If a story performs well in one place, she uses it in the other. Stories make your audience feel connected, and connection builds conversion. From Email Subscriber to Buyer So how do you actually move people from your list to paying customers? Keep showing up. Tell stories that build trust. Send more than one promo email - your audience needs to hear from you multiple times. Let your personality shine through every message. And if you don't know where to start? Create a simple email template to guide you every week, and do a brain dump in a Google Doc of every story or lesson you could share. Amy reminded me of something she learned from Tony Robbins — and something I've said many times myself. Growth comes from being uncomfortable. You don't need to be perfect. You just need to start. Do it scared. Do it messy. But do it. If you've been waiting to “get your list ready,” this is your nudge. Start small. Share one story. Send one email. Stay consistent. Your email list doesn't have to be big, it just has to be active.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com When you read the gospels it is so clear that Jesus is just going to do what he is called to do: Promote himself as the messiah, teach, heal, deliver, feed and challenge the religious elite. And he is only going to do what God the father tells him to do… in a sense what I say all the time MGLG make God look Good. And the disciples are going to tag along… they are going to doubt, argue, question, become arrogant, act confused… because they are. How did this relationship dynamic work exactly. God seems to expect a lot from the disciples… who continue to underwhelm in their attempts to be disciples. At what point do the disciples see their 92nd miracle and think “you know… he might actually be the Messiah”. How many times did the religious elite come to trap Jesus… the disciples know all about these guys.. they are not to be messed with- they are smart, well connected and large and in charge… and Jesus continue to make them look like fools, even chastising them. Do you think the disciples ever said… well if he can handle pharisees, the Sadducees and the temple priests… maybe he is the Messiah. When he wakes up from the bottom of the boat and wipes the sleep from his eyes in the middle of a tempest and almost acts annoyed… he commands the waves and the sea to calm IMMEDIATELY, and it does. Do you think the disciples finally looked at each other in the boat and whispered “this guy's gotta be the Messiah”. NOPE, they look at each other and actually ask “who is this guy”. **I find great comfort in the disciples actions. How many times I have seen God at work in my life and in the lives of others and seconds later I doubt God. I think it is human nature and yes we can mature out of it to some degree… but here is what I think the secret is to the disciples. THEY HAD ALL THESE QUESTIONS, ALL THESE GUESSES, ALL THESE HOPES, ALL THESE UNSPOKEN THOUGHTS… But they kept following him. A disciple follows Christ - not up until a question can't be answered… they follow at all times. They may not understand all there is to know about Jesus… but they keep following. In Mark 6:6 It says Jesus was amazed at the peoples lack of faith. These were the people in Jesus city that he grew up with… The CEV version says he was appalled at their unbelief. That actual word there - many translate it “amazed” actually has the connotation of “Wonder” - as in after them watching miracles and they doubt him… he says “really, even after all that… you still disbelieve…hmmm wow - amazing”. But he never says that about the disciples… he chastises them for their little faith, their lack of faith… but never for their disbelief. So what's the distinction I am trying to make? Well disbelief does not continue to follow God. But a lack of faith can still follow God. A little bit of faith can still follow God… we may fail, we may be confused, we may feel like we are the worst disciples ever… but the promise is in not giving up. Continue to follow him… what Does Jesus say in Matthew 24:10 - many will turn away. Be encouraged today… you don't have to be perfect, you don't have to have all the answers, you don't have to have massive faith… all that will come as long as you don't quit following Jesus.

In this episode of Mormon Stories, John and Margi Dehlin sit down with Sharon Beesley, a therapist, writer and former Mormon “mommy blogger,” to explore the evolution of her faith journey in Mormonism.Sharon was brought into the church as a child in Florida when her mother chose to convert. She discusses the warmth and community she found in her ward there, and the early testimonies that grounded her. Yet her story also weaves through deep loss with the death of her mother, and how that grief initially drew her closer to the Church.Sharon attended BYU, got married, and set out to live the ideal Mormon lifestyle. Their family ultimately ended up in New York city, where Sharon began to find relationships with people outside the church. With this move, her worldview began to shift as she encountered new ideas about faith, feminism, and authenticity.Topics Include:-Growing up Mormon in Florida-Coping with grief through faith-Marriage, motherhood, and mixed-faith relationshipsFeminismThis episode offers a gentle, wise, and grounding perspective for anyone navigating faith transitions, loss, or rediscovering joy beyond belief.___________________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.

Welcome to part 20 of our epic series on Dr. John G. Turner's landmark biography, “Joseph Smith: The Rise and Fall of an American Prophet.”Things are really heating up as we enter the mid-1830s in the life of Joseph Smith, founder of the Latter-day Saint movement. This episode dives into one of the most controversial and debated episodes in early Mormon history –Joseph's relationship with Fanny Alger, a young woman employed in the Smith household in Kirtland, Ohio in 1836.Was it adultery? Was it an early form of plural marriage? Or was it something else entirely –a “scrape”?Join us for Part 1 of Chapter 18, where we unpack Turner's detailed treatment of this scandal, explore how it fractured relationships within the early church (especially between Joseph Smith and Oliver Cowdery), and trace how it shaped the theology of polygamy that would later emerge in Nauvoo.Please purchase the book here.To support this series please donate here.

Launch Your Box Podcast with Sarah Williams | Start, Launch, and Grow Your Subscription Box
Every subscription box owner hits a wall. Growth slows down. The excitement you once felt starts to fade. You check your numbers and realize things have stalled. Stalling doesn't mean you've failed. It just means it's time for a reset. Most of the time, growth slows because you've either tapped out your current audience or haven't been visible enough lately. The good news? You don't have to overhaul everything. You just need to re-energize a few key areas to spark fresh momentum. In this quick Friday Fuel episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, I'm walking you through how to restart your momentum by focusing on three key areas that move the needle: growing your email list, showing up intentionally on social media, and running short, smart marketing bursts between launches. Reset #1: Grow Your Email List (Again) Your email list is your highest-converting asset, and when growth stalls, chances are your list has stalled, too. Ask yourself: Am I actively growing my list this week? If not, start here. Try a giveaway, launch a new lead magnet, or add a pop-up to your site. Promote your opt-in more often than feels comfortable. Remember, most people haven't seen it yet! Reset #2: Grow Your Following with Intention People can't buy from you if they don't know you exist. Audit your last six social media posts. Do they speak directly to your ideal subscriber? If not, shift your focus to connection: Share behind-the-scenes peeks of product selection or packing days. Spotlight subscriber stories or testimonials. Create simple reels using B-roll and overlay text. Share content that reflects your box's niche or transformation. Engagement comes first. Conversion follows. Reset #3: Run Short-Burst Marketing Campaigns You don't need to wait for “launch week” to grow. Between launches, run small but mighty campaigns: 3-day waitlist push Flash freebie bonus Subscriber referral challenge Simple paid ad paired with a short funnel sequence. Think of these as mini-launches that keep your energy and your subscriber list growing all year long. Bonus Reset Tips If you're ready to dig deeper, try these quick wins: Audit your list: scrub cold leads and segment by subscribers, leads, and past customers. Update your website: make sure it's clear who your box is for and why they need it. Re-engage dormant leads: send a short, two-part reactivation sequence. Ask your audience: use Instagram polls or a quick quiz to find out what's holding them back from subscribing. Take Action Choose one of these resets and take action today. Whether it's creating a new lead magnet, sharing a behind-the-scenes post, or running a 3-day waitlist push, do something that moves you closer to your next subscriber. Join me for this episode of the Launch Your Box Podcast, where we'll hit the reset button together and get your subscriber growth moving again, one simple action at a time.

Caroline Barrow was raised in a typical Mormon household in Louisiana. While she was a faithful believer in the Church, she always had questions about certain teachings but was often encouraged to halt her critical thinking on these issues. She chose to attend BYU and serve a Mormon mission, but continued to be plagued by questions—particularly around polygamy and the treatment of women in the LDS faith. Caroline also found herself struggling with scrupulosity, perfectionism, and the many pressures placed on women in the Church.Listen as she shares her story of how she confronted these questions and learned to trust herself and her instincts as an analytical woman within the Mormon faith.___________________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.

Today we welcome to the podcast Keira Shae, who joins us to share her story of converting to the LDS Church as a teenager while growing up in an abusive home.Living in Utah, Keira was surrounded by Mormons and idealized them as a contrast to her tumultuous home life. Around the age of fifteen, she went to live with a foster family who required her to follow church guidelines very rigidly. At the time, however, this structured lifestyle was a welcome change from her chaotic upbringing.After marrying and starting a family with a return missionary, Keira did her best to live up to the expectations of being the “perfect” Mormon wife and mother. Over time, though, she found herself struggling with perfectionism, scrupulosity, and the process of discovering her bisexuality.Join us to hear how Keira confronted these challenges and where she stands with the Mormon Church today.You can purchase Keira's memoir, How the Light Gets In here.___________________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.
