Helping LDS Leaders Understand Joseph Smith’s Polygamy
Brian and Laura Hales are the authors of Joseph Smith’s Polygamy: Toward a Better Understanding.
Brian is an anesthesiologist. Brian’s interest in polygamy began when he had a family member who was excommunicated for joining a polygamist group. As a result he researched and wrote three books about polygamy. However, he kept getting questions specifically about Joseph Smith and polygamy, which is why he wrote Joseph Smith’s Polygamy: History and Theology (plus 2 more volumes) and Joseph Smith’s Polygamy: Toward a Better Understanding.
How to Manage Callings in Your Ward or Stake | Tips & Tricks
There is a constant passive aggressive struggle between auxiliary leaders and those that hold the keys to extend church callings to members. This struggle is also apparent between bishoprics, and stake presidencies when stake callings are needed in the ward (i.e. clerks, elder’s quorum leaders, high priest group leaders, etc.). A Relief Society president, for example, needs an instructor called for an upcoming lesson. She knows that if the person isn’t called with enough time to prepare the lesson then the responsibility will fall on her.

Innovating Home Teaching | Thoughts From Clay Christensen & James Quigley
Great inspiration comes to those that listen to genius. Great minds challenge one to think deeper about the problem in front of them. One of those geniuses is Clayton Christensen. Not only is he a Harvard Business Professor and famous author he is also a Latter-day Saint and former Area Seventy. I enjoy listening to him solve business and leadership problems because it makes me wonder if his answers would be similar if asked to solve similar LDS leadership problems.
