Golden Lund holds three degrees in music from the University of Utah, Indiana University and the University of Nebraska. He is currently a music instructor at St. Ambrose University in Davenport, Iowa, where he helps direct the marching band, pep band, and teaches tuba and other brass instruments.

Links Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights In this episode of the Leading Saints podcast, Kurt interviews Golden, a former bishop from Bettendorf, Iowa, who shares his experiences and insights from his five-year tenure in leadership during the challenging times of the COVID-19 pandemic. The conversation focuses on mental health, vulnerability in leadership, and the importance of community support. Key Insights: Mental Health Awareness: Golden discusses his struggles with mental health, particularly during a significant crash after a year and a half of service. He emphasizes the importance of seeking help and the positive impact of counseling and medication. Vulnerability in Leadership: By sharing his personal challenges with his ward, Golden fostered a culture of openness, encouraging others to share their struggles and creating a supportive environment. The Sariah Factor: Golden introduces the concept of the Sariah Factor, highlighting the need for leaders to trust their perspective and discernment, even when others may not understand the decisions being made. Delegation and Empowerment: He shares how he empowered his ward leaders, such as the Relief Society and Elders Quorum presidents, to take on responsibilities, which helped alleviate his workload and fostered a sense of ownership among leaders. Community Support: Golden underscores the importance of community, noting that members often overlook the challenges faced by their leaders. Simple expressions of gratitude can significantly uplift those in leadership roles. Leadership Applications: Encourage Open Communication: Leaders should create an environment where members feel comfortable sharing their struggles, which can strengthen community bonds and support. Prioritize Mental Health: Leaders should recognize the importance of mental health and seek help when needed, setting an example for others to do the same. Empower Others: By delegating responsibilities and trusting ward leaders, bishops can manage their workload more effectively while fostering leadership skills in others, ultimately benefiting the entire ward. 05:32 - Calling as Bishop During COVID-19 07:18 - Navigating Early Days as Bishop 08:58 - Demographics of the Ward 10:45 - Reflection on Serving as Bishop 11:19 - Responsibilities of a Bishop 15:43 - Challenges and Overwhelm in Leadership 17:00 - Mental Health Struggles and Support 20:05 - Finding Help and Guidance 21:57 - The Importance of Vulnerability in Leadership 30:02 - Opening Up to the Ward About Struggles 33:44 - The Sariah Factor in Leadership Decisions 38:21 - Examples of Leadership Challenges 49:02 - The Messiness of Revelation in Leadership 51:19 - Normalizing Struggles in Leadership The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints' mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

For generations, the path to adulthood was straightforward: go to college, get a job, build a life. But many young men are beginning to question the college component of that path; tuition keeps rising, A.I. has made the professional landscape more uncertain, and there's just a sense that after four years at college, guys graduate feeling like they haven't been very challenged, haven't much changed, and haven't gained a lot of real confidence, competence, and concrete know-how.My guest today, Matt Smith, has created an alternative to college — a 4-year, 16-cycle curriculum designed to shape participants into Renaissance Men: skilled, self-reliant, and grounded in character. Matt co-authored The Preparation with his son Maxim, who is currently working his way through the program.In the first half of our conversation, Matt shares what kickstarted this idea and what's lacking in the education model for young men today. We then turn to the nuts and bolts of The Preparation, and Matt walks us through several of the program's hands-on cycles — including earning EMT certification, building a house, and training as a fighter in Thailand — and how gaining these real-world skills prepares a young man for whatever is next in life.After the show is over, check out the show notes at aom.is/thepreparationSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Love to hear from you; “Send us a Text Message”The murder of Charlie Kirk and Ukrainian immigrant Iryna Zarutska reveals the fierce spiritual battle raging beneath today's headlines. Young people especially feel this tension as anxiety—a cognitive dissonance between what their hearts know to be true and the lies bombarding them from culture.The Claymore apostolate, named after the Scottish broadsword, equips young men with a blueprint for navigating this spiritual war. Knowledge becomes medicine to alleviate fear and confusion when we understand what's happening around us. Drawing from John Paul II's teachings, this three-step blueprint begins with developing friendship with Jesus Christ through daily practices like "knees before phone"—praying before engaging with technology each morning. By viewing temptation as an invitation to prayer rather than an occasion of sin, young men learn to transform struggles into opportunities for growth.Scripture reveals two paths: the wide gate leading to destruction and the narrow gate leading to life. Society follows what might be called an 80-20 rule: 20% actively follow Christ, 20% actively work against human flourishing, while 60% remain lukewarm. This apathetic majority has allowed cultural deterioration by refusing to stand for truth.Charlie Kirk exemplified speaking truth in love before his life was tragically cut short at 31. His legacy reminds us that authentic discipleship carries costs but also transforms culture. Through weekly podcasts, Substack articles, and community building, Claymore forms young men who, like Charlie, can become witnesses to hope in a world desperate for meaning.Ready to join the 20% who actively build a civilization of love?

I travel around the world talking to young people and educators. To start the school year, I noticed a lot of young people were leaving their work blank during my workshops. What's behind this?

Enjoy this replay episode from earlier this year.It's no secret that things are tough right now for men and their occupations. Good jobs, faithful wives, and affordable homes with a yard aren't exactly growing on trees. And there's been more than enough “get it together” sermons and speeches to go around. So, when it gets down to it, if you want to have a healthy life that you love, what are the practical steps to accomplish that? It's easy to say just go to gym and try carnivore, but for men and Christians especially, the answer is much deeper than that.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

There are for kinds of men. Boys, Evil men, passive men and good men. At first, it seems obvious that the evil man is the worst—but the truth is, passivity may be even more dangerous. It's sneaky. It masks itself as humility or care, but in reality, it's laziness and abdication of responsibility. In this episode, we'll help you evaluate where you fall in these categories and challenge you to step up as the kind of man who glorifies God through bold, faithful leadership.

Buy the book: https://a.co/d/eutwBUN In this episode, Doug and Matt discuss the concept and goals behind their newly published book, 'The Preparation.' Designed as an alternative to traditional education paths, the book aims to transform young men into well-rounded, competent individuals capable of shaping the world around them. They delve into the origins of the book, its structure, and its 16 unique cycles that cover a wide range of practical skills and academic knowledge. The authors emphasize the importance of becoming a 'universal man'—someone who is not just knowledgeable but also morally sound and physically capable. They critique the current education system, discuss the disadvantages of following conventional paths like college, and propose a new, hands-on approach to education. The discussion also touches on the importance of mentorship and the concept of a patron-client relationship. The book is presented as a much-needed guide for young men to lead a meaningful and successful life. 00:00 Introduction and Setting the Scene 00:52 Discussing the Book: The Preparation 01:47 The Concept of the Renaissance Man 04:31 Critique of Modern Education 08:18 Alternative Paths for Young Men 22:32 The Importance of Personal Codes and Reflection 36:12 Introduction to Life Skills Cycles 36:20 Building Practical Skills: From Construction to Culinary Arts 38:09 Heavy Equipment Operation and Welding 39:48 Martial Arts Training in Thailand 43:17 Sailing Adventures and Survival Skills 46:49 Farming and Entrepreneurship 48:54 Investing and Technology Hacking 50:28 The Maker Cycle and Novel Actions 58:25 Mentorship and Intergenerational Relationships 01:06:10 Conclusion and Book Availability

In this special father-son episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with my son, Ethan, to continue our August series on raising boys into strong, capable men. Together, we dive into the real challenges young men face today and the lessons that shape character, responsibility, and confidence.   Ethan opens up about what he's learning through work, relationships, and personal growth, while I share insights on how fathers can guide without controlling. We discuss resilience, accountability, and the importance of choosing the right path—even when it's difficult. This conversation is raw, relatable, and packed with wisdom for both dads and sons who want to grow together.     TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to our August father-son series [2:10] - Ethan's reflections on independence and early adulthood [5:25] - Why accountability is the key to long-term success [8:41] - Lessons from failure and how to bounce back stronger [12:03] - How to balance freedom with responsibility [15:37] - Why building grit matters more than chasing comfort [19:10] - Navigating friendships and the power of influence [23:46] - What intentional living looks like as a young man [28:04] - Handling setbacks without losing confidence [32:19] - Why fathers need to lead by example, not just advice [36:55] - The role of gratitude in keeping perspective [40:28] - Ethan's biggest lessons so far in work and life [44:12] - Final reflections on manhood, growth, and legacy     5 KEY TAKEAWAYS   1. Accountability Creates Growth The willingness to own your choices and mistakes is what separates boys from men—it's the foundation of maturity. 2. Resilience Is Built Through Struggle Failure is not the end but the classroom. Every setback is an opportunity to learn grit and perseverance. 3. Freedom Without Responsibility Leads to Chaos True independence isn't doing whatever you want—it's learning to carry the weight of your decisions. 4. Influence Shapes Identity The people you surround yourself with will either pull you forward or drag you down. Choose wisely. 5. Gratitude Keeps You Grounded No matter how tough life gets, practicing gratitude helps you stay centered, focused, and motivated to keep moving forward.       LINKS & RESOURCES • 1st Phorm Creatine: https://1stphorm.com/products/micronized-creatine-monohydrate/?a_aid=dadedge • LEVEL 1 BARS:  https://1stphorm.com/products/level-1-bar/?a_aid=dadedge • Dad Edge Podcast Website: https://www.thedadedge.com • Join The Alliance: https://www.thedadedge.com/alliance • Listen to More Episodes: https://www.thedadedge.com/podcast • 25 Questions to Spark Connection With Your Partner: https://www.thedadedge.com/25questions     If this episode challenged or encouraged you, please rate, follow, review, and share the podcast.
