A new apostle has been called: Clark Gilbert.

What does that mean? And more importantly—what does it reveal about how we think about priesthood authority?

In this episode of Latter Day Bridge Builders, Mitch, Ashton, and Juliet talk candidly about:

• The appointment of Clark Gilbert and the reactions surrounding it

• Authority vs. humanity in church leadership

• The difference between “letter of the law” and “spirit of the law”

• Real experiences with bishops and power dynamics

• The tension between revelation and accountability

• Why training and checks might matter more than we admit

• And what it actually means to have a direct relationship with God

This conversation gets personal. We talk about depression, temple recommends, leadership mistakes, and what happens when authority goes unchecked. But we also talk about growth, humility, and what healthy leadership can look like.

At the end of the day, the big question is this:
How do we honor faith while still protecting personal agency?

If you’ve ever wrestled with church leadership, priesthood authority, or your own spiritual autonomy, this one’s for you.
