This episode of Unashamed Unafraid introduces guests Mike (“Sacramento Mike”) and his son Weston, with Mike visiting Utah from Hawaii for his daughter's wedding. Mike describes growing up in an LDS family near Sacramento, first encountering pornography at 11, becoming compulsively drawn to it, and being forcibly sexually assaulted by older boys around age 13–14, which deepened his shame and porn use; he later learned those boys were arrested for raping family members. At 18, after drug use, he prayed on a beach, quit drugs, served a mission in Ecuador, married, and raised a family while hiding a long-term pornography problem that escalated alongside law-enforcement work in Oakland and PTSD. After multiple deaths in his care and suicidal crises, he sought help, was retired from duty, and recounts a 2018 moment when his wife, prompted by God, prevented a planned suicide, helping him recognize God's love. Mike has now been sober from pornography and sexual acting out for 8 years. Make a donation and become an Outsider!Follow us on social media!

This is the first episode of our new Everday Angler series, where we sit down with anglers who are at every stage of the learning curve. Yes, guides, outfitters, and industry experts have a lot to add to the conversation, but how often is their advice actualyl tailored to the situation you're in right now?  And since one of the best ways to learn is by chatting with other anglers in your exact situation, that's what we decided to do. Our first guest is Riley Bayles, an angler from Utah who's been fly fishing for abot 2 years. Alex and I had the chance to fish with Riley this summer, and we were impressed by his approach to the sport and his willingness to learn. Riley has some fantastic insight as someone who's in the thick of figuring it out, and his advice will absolutley help you become a better angler.  LINKS FROM THE SHOW Join the VFC Online Community - CHECK IT OUT QUESTIONS FOR THE SHOW - SUBMIT HERE #LIVEREELLIFE MOMENT - SUBMIT HERE Get the FREE Field Guide - CHECK IT OUT

Utah prosecutors argued in their bindover memorandum that the evidence presented during Tyler Robinson's five-day preliminary hearing easily established probable cause for him to stand trial on all seven charges connected to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The state pointed to Robinson's alleged admissions to his roommate, Lance Twiggs, and several friends, including messages in which he reportedly acknowledged shooting Kirk, described planning the attack for more than a week and discussed retrieving or concealing the rifle. Prosecutors maintained that those statements were reinforced by surveillance footage allegedly tracking Robinson onto the roof of Utah Valley University's Losee Center, eyewitness testimony and DNA evidence connecting him to the rifle recovered near the campus. The memorandum emphasized that the state was not required to prove Robinson's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at this stage, only that there was sufficient evidence to reasonably believe he committed the crimes.The state asked Judge Tony Graf Jr. to bind Robinson over for trial on aggravated murder and the remaining charges, which included felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child. Prosecutors also defended the victim-targeting enhancement, arguing that Robinson allegedly selected Kirk because of Kirk's political and religious positions, particularly his views concerning gender and sexuality. According to the state, Robinson's alleged statements showed both an intent to kill and a motive rooted in hostility toward Kirk's beliefs, while his purported efforts to hide the weapon and influence Twiggs supported the additional charges. Calling the matter one of the most straightforward bindover decisions the court was likely to encounter, prosecutors concluded that the combined admissions, forensic evidence, videos and witness accounts supported sending every count to trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

RUNDOWN Mitch and Hotshot Scott dissect a trade deadline that produced more shrugs than shockwaves, debating whether the Mariners actually bought or simply trimmed payroll. They weigh the additions of Taylor Ward and Seranthony Domínguez, the Luis Castillo trade, and why Seattle's playoff hopes still rest on Julio Rodríguez, Cal Raleigh, and the hitters already in uniform before wrapping up with birthday trivia. Joe Doyle and Brady Farkas debate whether Jerry Dipoto did enough at the deadline, breaking down Taylor Ward, Seranthony Domínguez, Luis Castillo, and the decision to keep George Kirby and Logan Gilbert. They also examine Seattle's lineup questions and what the club's quiet deadline reveals about its future. Scott Spiezio recounts how a devastating back injury with the Mariners sent his life into a spiral of depression, addiction, and personal collapse. The former World Series hero opens up about alcohol, cocaine, failed relationships, and the long road that inspired his memoir, The Hardest Comeback. Scott Spiezio shares the remarkable turnaround that followed baseball's darkest chapter, describing liver failure, sobriety, restored family relationships, and the faith that transformed his life.

In 2027, members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints will study the New Testament for “Come, Follow Me” at home and church.  The New Testament includes Jesus Christ's birth, life and teachings; His Atonement, Crucifixion and Resurrection; and the teachings of His apostles. The manual is now available on the Church’s website and in the Gospel Library app.  Donny Anderson, an institute teacher at the Logan Institute of Religion in Logan, Utah, joins Church News reporter Mary Richards to talk about the themes, structure and language of the New Testament in preparation for next year’s study.  

For decades, Utah's Elbert D. Thomas represented Latter-day Saints on the national stage as one of the most influential members of Congress you've probably never heard of. In this episode of Church History Matters, Scott Woodward and Casey Griffiths explore the remarkable life and political career of the faithful Latter-day Saint, educator, missionary, and U.S. Senator who served during some of the most pivotal years in American history. After serving a five-year mission in Japan, Thomas brought a global perspective to Washington, D.C., where he became a leading advocate for workers' rights, public education, scientific research, and social welfare during the Great Depression. Scott and Casey examine his strong support of Franklin D. Roosevelt's New Deal programs, his efforts to strengthen labor protections, expand educational opportunities, and help establish institutions such as the National Science Foundation. They also discuss his role in promoting the Civilian Conservation Corps, support for veterans' education, and his work toward greater federal investment in education and public welfare. The conversation also highlights Thomas's international vision. Long before the end of World War II, he warned about the persecution of European Jews, advocated for Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi oppression, and later became a vocal supporter of the newly formed United Nations and America's leadership in building a more peaceful postwar world. His experiences as an LDS missionary in Japan shaped his lifelong commitment to diplomacy, religious understanding, and international cooperation. How did a devoted Latter-day Saint become one of the Senate's most progressive voices? Why did his impressive political career end amid the political tensions of the early Cold War? Join Scott and Casey as they uncover the fascinating story of Elbert D. Thomas and explore how his faith, education, and public service intersected during one of America's most consequential eras.

KSL Sports BYU Insider Mitch Harper reacts to the Cougars landing at No. 15 in the 2026 US LBM Coaches Poll — their highest preseason coaches ranking in years and a significant jump from the No. 23 slot they occupied entering the 2025 season. BYU is the second-highest ranked Big 12 team behind No. 12 Texas Tech, with Utah slotting in at No. 21 and Houston at No. 24. Mitch breaks down what the ranking signals about national perception of the program after a 12-2 season, a Big 12 Championship Game appearance, and a Pop-Tarts Bowl victory — and whether No. 15 is too high, too low, or just right for a team that finished No. 12 in the final coaches poll a year ago. With the AP Top 25 preseason poll still two weeks away, Mitch discusses where BYU could land there given that composite projections have the Cougars around No. 13 nationally. He also examines what preseason poll positioning means for BYU's College Football Playoff math come November, and how Kalani Sitake's staff plans to manage the highest expectations in program history without letting them become a distraction. Then, as players report for fall camp meetings and equipment fittings today with on-field practices beginning Wednesday, Mitch spotlights the under-the-radar names he's most intrigued to watch during media observation periods this August: Siosiua Latu-Finau, Bott Mulitalo, Trevin Ostler, Devoux Tuataga, Maverick McManus, Adney Reid, TJ Johnson, Cole Shuman, Rayden Heintz, and Brody Laga. Also in this episode, Mitch goes on the recruiting trail to discuss the reclass announcement from five-star basketball recruit AJ Williams, who BYU has offered. Then, on the gridiron, Mitch sat down with Maple Mountain High star Uhila Wolfgramm to discuss his commitment to BYU and his goals for his upcoming senior year.

Utah prosecutors argued in their bindover memorandum that the evidence presented during Tyler Robinson's five-day preliminary hearing easily established probable cause for him to stand trial on all seven charges connected to the killing of Charlie Kirk. The state pointed to Robinson's alleged admissions to his roommate, Lance Twiggs, and several friends, including messages in which he reportedly acknowledged shooting Kirk, described planning the attack for more than a week and discussed retrieving or concealing the rifle. Prosecutors maintained that those statements were reinforced by surveillance footage allegedly tracking Robinson onto the roof of Utah Valley University's Losee Center, eyewitness testimony and DNA evidence connecting him to the rifle recovered near the campus. The memorandum emphasized that the state was not required to prove Robinson's guilt beyond a reasonable doubt at this stage, only that there was sufficient evidence to reasonably believe he committed the crimes.The state asked Judge Tony Graf Jr. to bind Robinson over for trial on aggravated murder and the remaining charges, which included felony discharge of a firearm, obstruction of justice, witness tampering and committing a violent offense in the presence of a child. Prosecutors also defended the victim-targeting enhancement, arguing that Robinson allegedly selected Kirk because of Kirk's political and religious positions, particularly his views concerning gender and sexuality. According to the state, Robinson's alleged statements showed both an intent to kill and a motive rooted in hostility toward Kirk's beliefs, while his purported efforts to hide the weapon and influence Twiggs supported the additional charges. Calling the matter one of the most straightforward bindover decisions the court was likely to encounter, prosecutors concluded that the combined admissions, forensic evidence, videos and witness accounts supported sending every count to trial.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Richard Parker has spent his life reading America through two lenses most people keep apart: economics and religion. The throughline is that faith, money, and power did not grow up in separate rooms. They grew up together. An Oxford-trained economist who has taught at Harvard's Kennedy School since 1993, Parker co-founded Mother Jones, helped build Greenpeace USA, and helped Norman Lear start People for the American Way. This conversation runs from an abolitionist ancestor who helped fund John Brown's raid, through the Reformation's long shadow over capitalism and the corporation, to a president reaching into the economy in ways the country has not seen since it had kings. Calls to Action ✅ Leave a rating and review: lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion ✅ Subscribe on Substack: coreysnathan.substack.com ✅ Watch and subscribe on YouTube: youtube.com/@politicsandreligion ✅ Share this episode with someone who reads the news and someone who's given up on it Key Takeaways The abolitionist in the family tree. Richard's ancestor, the Rev. Theodore Parker, was one of the Secret Six who bankrolled John Brown's raid. He also coined lines later borrowed by Lincoln ("of the people, by the people, for the people") and Martin Luther King ("the arc of the moral universe bends toward justice"). Not since kings. When a president takes government equity stakes in companies like Nvidia, Parker argues, he folds the state into his own person and pushes presidential power into the economy in a way America has not seen since it had monarchs. Only about six presidents. Borrowing from political scientist Stephen Skowronek, Parker says just a handful of presidents ever reset the country's governing terms. He does not think Trump is one of them. The same fights in new costumes. Most of our arguments recur generation after generation. Parker's aim is not to win them but to help people see the landscape they are arguing from, which is how a divided country starts talking instead of accusing. About Our Guest Richard Parker is an economist, author, and Senior Fellow and Lecturer at Harvard's Kennedy School, where he has taught since 1993. He co-founded Mother Jones, helped build Greenpeace USA, helped Norman Lear launch People for the American Way, and has advised figures including Senator Edward Kennedy. He serves on the boards of The Nation and the Journal of Post Keynesian Economics.

What if the battle you're fighting has already been won? In this powerful message from Movement Conference, Sadie Robertson Huff shares the life-changing truth of the gospel: through the death and resurrection of Jesus, the war against sin and death is already over. Walking through Matthew 28, Sadie challenges us to stop living like we're still defeated and instead receive the freedom Christ purchased for us. She explores why fear, insecurity, and unbelief often keep us from sharing our faith, and how the blood of the Lamb and the power of our testimony can change lives. This message is a compelling reminder that Jesus has already won and that good news is too good to keep to yourself.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon't miss a video!

Clay interviews Dr. Ben Abbott of Brigham Young University about the crisis of Great Salt Lake. Great Salt Lake is a terminal lake, which means that water comes in but does not flow out. It's a remnant of ancient Lake Bonneville. The volume of the lake is now down by 70% and the surface area it covers is down 60%. Abbott believes we are not more than half a dozen years from the lake's ecological collapse, which would severely damage the brine shrimp industry, expose a large number of toxic chemicals to the Utah winds with devastating effects on human health, and severely impair Utah's important winter ski industry. The good news is that Dr. Abbott believes we can solve this problem and that the people of Utah are sufficiently aware of the crisis to make the lifestyle changes (none dire) that will save and refresh the lake. Ben Abbott says a U.N. agency has recently declared a Global Water Bankruptcy, but that saving Great Salt Lake can serve as a template for a much wider set of water-use reforms in the United States and beyond. This episode was recorded on July 23, 2026.
