I’ve been busy today, so I’m quite late with this. But, it being Friday, a new article has (yes, of course) appeared in Interpreter: A Journal of Latter-day Saint Faith and Scholarship:
“Ministering across Fault Lines of Belief and Community”
Review of David B. Ostler, Bridges: Ministering to Those Who Question(Salt Lake City: Greg Kofford Books, 2019), 206 pp. $32.95 (hardback), $20.95 (paperback).
Abstract: David Ostler’s book Bridges: Ministering to Those Who Question addresses the daunting task of ministering to people who have grown disillusioned with the core doctrines and the community of believers they encounter in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. This is perhaps the most challenging ministering effort a leader or member of the Church can undertake, and Bridges provides valuable insight into the process of disaffection as well as specific things that Church leaders and members can do to create a healthy environment for members to work through challenges to their faith. This review discusses those strengths of Bridges as a resource and also explores areas where the well-intentioned approaches discussed in the book can backfire, causing more harm than healing in a community of believing Latter-day Saints.

Also from the Interpreter Foundation:
The hosts for the 20 October 2019 edition of the Interpreter Radio Show were Bruce Webster, Kris Fredrickson, and Mike Parker, and their discussion during the first hour of the show centered on addresses at the recent General Conference as well as a sobering conversation on human trafficking. In the second hour of the show, they discussed the upcoming Come, Follow Me lesson #44 on Hebrews 7-13.
The entire 20 October installment of the Interpreter Radio Show is now available at no charge and at your convenience, stripped of commercial interruptions, on the website of the Interpreter Foundation:

If, on the other hand, you’re only interested in an Interpreter Radio Roundtable for Come, Follow Me New Testament Lesson 44, “An High Priest of Good Things to Come,” covering Hebrews 7-13, that roundtable has been extracted from the 20 October 2019 broadcast of Interpreter Radio.. The panelists for the roundtable were, of course, Bruce Webster, Kris Fredrickson, and Mike Parker. And, as is the standard practice wherever possible for the Interpreter Foundation, this roundtable is made available to the widest reachable audience at no charge:
