From Mitt Romney’s run at the White House, to competing on American Idol, more then ever, members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are in the media. Never before have Mormon beliefs been so hotly debated, analyzed, and widely discussed both by members of the church, and those viewing the Church from outside our unique Mormon culture. For better or worse, the Church is under a microscope.
Join us as we take a look at how the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints responds to growing media interest, and how it uses technology to deliver its message. Along the way, we discuss whether media coverage of the Church and Latter-day Saints beliefs is fair and balanced, whether or not America is ready for it’s first Mormon American Idol, and Elder M. Russell Ballard’s call to join the conversation about the Church, using ‘new media’ like weblogs and podcasts. And oh yes, don’t forget about Brother Sean’s LDS Joke of the Day™.
Get in line, grab a plate, and enjoy another serving of the Mormon Potluck Podcast!
