From there, we move through a packed lineup of stories shaping the LDS landscape right now:
* Are missionaries starting to push the boundaries on dating while serving?
* Is the aging leadership of the Q15 creating deeper institutional blind spots?
* A first female bishop—what’s really happening there?
* A new publication dives into the history and evolution of female garments
* Utah schools and the Bible—where are the lines being drawn?
* Is BYU doubling down on religiosity with new class changes?
* A troubling report: BYU allegedly threatens to Ban the hair style of an Indigenous student over traditional braids
* And a full roundup of temple updates including Vienna, Lindon, Salt Lake City, and Charlotte, North Carolina
This is one of those episodes where the surface stories point to something deeper underneath—authority, control, identity, and where the Church is heading next.
