Improving Latter-day Saint Culture

By: Richard Ostler

Narrated by: Dallin Bradford

Many faithful children of our Heavenly Parents find it difficult to stay in the Church, not because of doctrine or a lack of desire to keep the commandments, but because of Latter-day Saint culture. The good news is that we need not wait to be more welcoming and inclusive. We can all be part of the solution.

In these chapters, you'll find stories about improving our culture by being

• Less judgmental and more loving
• Not measuring progress by Church callings
• Better hearing and valuing women
• Acquiring a better framework for ending pornography use
• Hope-filled repentance
• Creating better understanding of mental illness and suicide
• Overcoming scrupulosity (religious OCD)
• Embracing early-release and service missionaries
• Manifesting love in political differences
• And compassionately ministering to those with questions

Balm for my soul

I have loved both the books in this series and it has helped me to know I am not alone in dealing with some of the issues that can arise with trying to support those I love in the LGBTQ+ community and how that can sometimes impact my testimony.

Important New Resource

Important topics, problems, and opportunities for improvement are highlighted for Church members everywhere. I hope higher Church leadership is listening in both words and actions. I appreciate a frank discussion of issues facing the Church moving forward.
