From the Author Through the power of storytelling, former YSA bishop Richard Ostler brings to life the experiences of LGBTQ Latter-day Saints in his book Listen, Learn and Love: Embracing LGBTQ Latter-day Saints. The author helps fulfill President M. Russell Ballard's 2017 challenge to "... listen to and understand what our LGBT brothers and sisters are feeling and experiencing." The book - which is supportive of the Church, its leaders, and doctrine - is for all Latter-day Saints and is an extension of the Listen, Learn and Love podcast by bringing together hundreds of stories in a comprehensive review of the many topics around being LGBTQ and a Latter-day Saint. By sharing stories, the podcast and book help readers better support LGBTQ members in their unique and often difficult road - and better recognize their gifts and contributions in our wards and families. About the Author Richard H. Ostler, a former YSA bishop, speaks at firesides and conferences about how to more fully embrace LGBTQ Latter-day Saints, see their gifts and contributions, and better understand their unique road. He is the host of the Listen, Learn and Love podcast (listenlearnandlove.org) which provides a platform for LGBTQ Latter-day Saints to share their stories. He is deeply committed to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to creating more understanding and support for LGBTQ members - a goal started during his service as a YSA bishop as he learned to set aside past assumptions to better fulfill his stewardship responsibility to meet the spiritual needs of LGBTQ ward members. In addition to serving as a YSA bishop, he has served as a temple ordinance worker, stake young men's president, high counselor, and ward mission leader. He has a BS from the University of Utah and an MBA from Brigham Young University, and is a small business owner. Richard and his wife Sheila live in Salt Lake City, Utah and have six wonderful children, and several grandchildren.
