Welcome listeners to another episode of Listen, Learn, and Love.

I'd like to do a solo podcast and talk to fellow allies.

Allies would be an LDS person who wants to better support LGBTQ Latter-day Saints.

I get messages to meet, messages of advice, and I thought I'd just do a solo podcast with

what I'd say to you if you were across the table and we are visiting about this tender

and important subject.

This podcast is organized into four sections. First is

a little bit about me for those of you that are new to who I am. Second one is my story of stepping

into this space. The third is my approach as a Latter-day Saint, an ally to LGBTQ Latter-day Saints.

The fourth section is my advice to allies, and we'll go to that point.

I'll give some concluding thoughts.

I'm a married father of six.

My wife and I've been married over 30 years. We have a few grandkids by profession. I'm a small business owner. And I'm the host of this podcast. I recently looked up how many downloads we had since we started tracking that. And that's 6.8 million downloads, and that's a credit to the guests that

step forward and you listeners.

You can't donate to this podcast.

It's just a labor of love.

And you can also, since there's over 600 episodes, some people wonder, how do I keep track

of all the episodes or what are the categories I'm interested

in? You can go to listen, learn, and love.org, and across the toolbar, there's a tab called

podcasts, and there all our podcasts are recorded into category. So you can, if there's a specific

topic you're looking into, you can see all the podcasts that we've done to address that.

I'm also the author of three books under the Listen, Learn, and Love name.
