LDS Military Members

LDS Military Members

Hello and welcome. This is the LDS Military Members Podcast. This podcast was born to supplement the Military Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints Facebook group. While the group is a phenomenal resource for all things military and LDS related, we thought it would be great to highlight our members in a conversation style podcast to better understand the different branches, jobs, challenges and successes of our military members their families and friends. The long form podcast can bring in depth helps, insights, and is a great way to simply have fun and build community. So if you are a military service member, or support the military and their families in any way we want to hear your story. To be a guest on the Podcast or to have someone you would like to hear from please contact us; our email address is LDS.MilitaryMembers@gmail.com Stay safe and thank you for your service.
