Unlock Your Loins on Your LDS Mission

Tonight on The Mormon Newscast, we lead with remarks from Elder Dallin H. Oaks encouraging Latter-day Saints to marry younger. We take a clear-eyed look at what was said, why it matters, and why it’s raising eyebrows yet again.

We also cover a full slate of additional stories shaping the Mormon world this week, including a shooting at a Tongan LDS meetinghouse, the quiet end of Temple Square missionary service, disturbing reports involving sexual activity inside Idaho church buildings, renewed scrutiny over missionary-related sex trafficking claims, and a leadership update with Dieter F. Uchtdorf now serving as acting church president. We’ll also unpack the latest developments in the ongoing “foot lawsuit.”

As always, The Mormon Newscast cuts through spin, avoids easy narratives, and focuses on what members and former members actually need to know.
