A fairly good podcast from LeadingLDS

[Anonymous]

Out of all the TBM podcasts, I kind of like the LeadingLDS podcast by Kurt Francom. In fact it is about the only TBM’ish podcast still on my list. I have suggested it to many church leaders. He does tackle hard issues like how to treat many groups within the church with love and compassion.

He just had quite a good one where he interviewed someone that was a counselor to Kurt when he was a bishop and this counselor left the church abruptly. http://leadinglds.com/what-i-learned-about-leadership-when-my-2nd-counselor-left-the-church/” class=”bbcode_url”>http://leadinglds.com/what-i-learned-about-leadership-when-my-2nd-counselor-left-the-church/

Kurt seems like the kind of guy I wouldn’t mind having an honest chat with.

But just to prove that I am NOT progressing in my stages of faith, I just got pissed at what I consider to be a really condescending comment and I just had to comment. I don’t think I was off the rails (I did use a few too many capital letters), but I think you can clearly find my comment that I made today saying how I think the whole tone of this one commentator is WRONG.

The podcast is worth a listen. My rant, not so much. :silent:

The rant was understandable, imo.

It’s a hard one to listen to because Heath takes a rather long time to express himself – lots of um, you know, like. And because I don’t indentify a great deal with his issues. But I think it’s great that this podcast is targeting local leaders, the bishops down in the trenches with friends leaving the church.

They’re both honest. Heath doesn’t rule out coming back. I love (a very telling part of podcasts and blogs for me) that the author links to all the materials mentioned in the discussion.

I was more impressed with the interviewer than Heath. Heath may not have been the best faith crisis poster boy, but I can sympathize with him. I do feel he may have jumped and left the church a bit too reactionary.
