LDS Women, Power, and the Priesthood

On today’s episode of Mormonish Podcast, Rebecca and Landon delve into the events of the past week surrounding the LDS Women’s broadcast and it’s aftermath.

When the LDS church reposted a statement from the devotional broadcast telling us that LDS woman has more power than any other women in any religious organization, on their Instagram, it garnered over 8000 comments from faithful LDS women. The comments indicated that they were disappointed in the statement and refused to be gaslit.

Mormonish discusses this almost unprecedented reaction and also shares stories we have gathered from social media from LDS women who have experienced the power structure and the lack of power for women within the LDS church.
