    Fired After Working for BYU & the LDS Church for 24 Years. Here's What Really Happened.

    For nearly **24 years**, I worked for **Brigham Young University** and, by extension, **The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints**.Most of that time was spent at **BYU Independent Study**, one of the largest accredited distance-learning programs in the United States. Looking back, I witnessed both dedicated employees doing their best and institutional problems that should have been addressed years earlier.In this episode, I share my personal experiences working inside BYU, including:* Why most Independent Study instructors were never background checked for decades* How widespread student identity verification problems fueled cheating* Why accreditation concerns eventually forced major changes* What it was really like teaching music remotely before online learning became mainstream* Why I was unexpectedly let go after nearly 24 years of employment* The reality of BYU's extremely low adjunct pay, lack of benefits, and expectations of institutional sacrifice* How ecclesiastical endorsements affected employees who privately lost their faith* My reaction to learning about the Church's vast investment reserves after years of being told to sacrifice financiallyThis isn't an attack on the many wonderful people I worked with. I met countless dedicated coworkers who genuinely cared about students.My criticism is directed toward institutional policies, leadership decisions, and a culture that too often expected employees to sacrifice while offering little in return.If you enjoy thoughtful conversations about Mormonism, BYU, Church history, and current LDS news, consider subscribing to **Mormon News Roundup**.I aim to present evidence, personal experience, and informed commentary while encouraging respectful discussion—even when the topics are controversial.#BYU #Mormon #LDS #ExMormon #IndependentStudy #ChurchNews #MormonNewsRoundup #Religion #HigherEducation #ChurchHistory #Utah #FaithJourney #AcademicIntegrity #College #EducationPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.

    The Website the LDS Church Couldn't Ignore: The Rise & Fall of MormonLeaks

    For several years, one small website published leaked LDS Church documents that changed conversations across the Mormon world.MormonLeaks began in 2016 with a simple mission: provide a secure way for whistleblowers to anonymously submit authentic internal documents from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. What followed was one of the most remarkable transparency projects in modern Mormon history.In this documentary, we explore:• How Ryan McKnight and Ethan Gregory Dodge founded MormonLeaks• The leaked Apostle M. Russell Ballard mission president training video• The publication of General Authority living allowance documents• Internal presentations, financial records, administrative manuals, and policy documents• Why the organization expanded into FaithLeaks and later became the Truth & Transparency Foundation• The legal battles, financial challenges, and eventual closure of the organization• The lasting impact MormonLeaks had on journalism, church transparency, and Mormon historyWhether you viewed MormonLeaks as a vital watchdog or a controversial publisher of confidential information, its influence is difficult to deny. For several years, it fundamentally changed how information about the LDS Church reached members, former members, journalists, and historians.Today we're looking back at the rise, the controversies, and the legacy of one of the most influential organizations in modern Mormon history.What do you think? Did MormonLeaks serve the public interest, or did it go too far?

    The ONLY 4 Times Senior Mormon Leaders Took Unscripted Questions from the Press since 2012

    For more than a decade, senior leaders of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have rarely taken unscripted questions from journalists in public. Most media appearances are carefully managed, making these four events remarkable exceptions.In this episode, we revisit the only four major occasions over the past 15 years when top Mormon leaders answered questions without prepared remarks:• Jeffrey R. Holland's BBC interview in London (2012)• Dallin H. Oaks' University of Virginia Q&A (2016)• Russell M. Nelson's First Presidency press conference (2018)• David A. Bednar's National Press Club appearance in Washington, D.C. (2022)Rather than offering extensive commentary, this video presents these appearances in a mostly unedited format so you can watch the exchanges for yourself. Topics include LDS temple practices, LGBTQ issues, Church finances, religious freedom, women in the Church, media relations, and more.How do senior Mormon leaders respond when they can't rely on prepared conference talks or carefully edited videos? Watch the interviews and decide for yourself.If you enjoy thoughtful discussions about Mormon history, current events, and LDS culture, consider subscribing for more episodes.#Mormon #LDS #ExMormon #MormonNews #JeffreyHolland #DallinOaks #RussellMNelson #DavidBednar #MormonChurch #Religion #ChurchNews #LDSChurchPlease consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
