YouTube Description
as posted by the channelFrom TikTok’s influencer families like Ballerina Farm, Nara Smith, and "MomTok" to powerful positions in U.S. government, the CIA, FBI, and Secret Service- why are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS) so overrepresented in American life?
In this livestream conversation, cult expert Dr. Steven Hassan, author of The Cult of Trump, speaks with Jim Bennett, a current Mormon and member of the Tabernacle Choir, and Ian Wilks, a former Mormon. Together, they host "Inside Out with Jim Bennett and Ian Wilks". They’ll unpack:
- How Mormonism quietly shapes American conservatism and politics
- The role of soft power, image management, and “influencer evangelism” in LDS outreach
- Why Mormon influencers are thriving on social media and whether “Mormon influencer bootcamps” are real
- The difference between faith, culture, and control inside and outside the LDS Church
👉 Join live and share your thoughts in the chat: Do you think the Mormon Church intentionally uses social media and cultural influence to shape mainstream values?
