About this episode
There are a lot of layers to the bombshell news surrounding Utahn Tim Ballard and his anti-human trafficking organization, Operation Underground Railroad. There’s the public rebuke by the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints ; allegations of sexual misconduct against Ballard ; a psychic providing intel for rescue missions; and Utah Attorney General Sean Reyes’ connections to Ballard. But beneath all the juicy details, there’s a lesson about doing good in our communities. Cassie Bingham, assistant director of the Center for Social Impact at Utah Valley University , joins host Ali Vallarta to talk about hero worship and how we can all be more thoughtful about social causes.
