In this episode we back up to early March for the first “Leading Saints Live” livestream where Kurt Francom explains more about Zion Lab and shares highlights from discussions.

We discuss:

• Zion Lab as a Resource
• Generational Disconnect: The gap between older and younger generations, the pressure to conform to expectations, and the facade of compliance rather than genuine engagement
• Bishopric Responsibilities: Shifting responsibilities of bishops and balancing their focus on youth while ensuring all members receive adequate support and ministering
• Communication Strategies: Ask open-ended questions and foster a non-judgmental environment to promote dialogue and understanding
• Boundary Changes and Transparency: Is there a need for transparency regarding boundary changes? Can communication reduce anxiety and foster acceptance?
• The Power of Naming: Inclusion and Belonging for LGBTQ+ Families in Church Discussions
• How to become a Zion Builder (and how to get a sponsored membership if cost is a barrier)
