Batchlor Johnson IV started posting about his faith back when hardly anyone was sharing testimony online. He went to the temple every week for two years, posted about it, and his following took off. Now he says the pushback he gets doesn’t come from ex-Mormons. It comes from other members.Juliet and Ashton sit down with Batchlor (former college football player, musician, U of U econ grad, BYU mass comm master’s) to talk about what it’s like to be openly LDS online. We get into why the algorithm rewards division, how control usually comes from fear, the difference between culture and doctrine, and why he tells people with questions to work through them instead of staying or leaving blindly.We also cover holy envy, letting each other worship “how, where, or what they may” inside the church, and his advice for anyone who wants to share their faith online but is nervous about the backlash.Find Batchlor: @batchloriv🌐 More episodes & links: https://linktr.ee/latterdaybridgebuilders📸 Follow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latterdaybridgebuilders 🎥 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@latterdaybridgebuilders☕ Support the podcast: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/LDSBridgebuilders👕 Merch Store: https://ldbb-shop.fourthwall.com
