Testing one, two, three. Testing one, two, three. This is Radio Free Mormon. On the air, broadcasting behind enemy lines. I come to you now for a special update on the Tim Ballard situation. The title of this episode is Glenn Beck stands up for Tim Ballard against the LDS Church. It's a long title, but really,
