The Truth About LDS Giving Machines

We have gotten so many questions recently about the LDS Giving Machine, especially from never Mormons, we decided to repost our episode from last year!On this episode of Mormonish podcast, Rebecca and Landon are joined by accounting professor, Dr. Spencer Anderson as we explore the truth behind the LDS Giving Machine’s that are popping up in cities all over the United States! On the surface Giving Machines seem to be a fun and festive way to donate to people in need. However, questions have arisen over the use of these machines to generate publicity for the church itself. Is the LDS Church simply a middle man taking credit for someone else’s generosity? Rebecca and Landon talk with an Executive Director of a nonprofit who received donations from the Giving Machine program. They also take a field trip to the mall to try out the Giving Machine themselves. What we learned might surprise you, so make sure to tune in.Link to Professor Spencer's episode on ethics.https://youtu.be/J85u7ujIEb8?si=CggRc0ynsxb2AwuB***How to DONATE to Mormonish Podcast: If you would like to help financially support our podcast, you can DONATE to support Mormonish Podcast here:DONATE THROUGH DONORBOXhttps://donorbox.org/mormonish-podcastMormonish Podcast is a 501(c) (3) https://donorbox.org/mormonish-podcast ****WE HAVE MERCH! **** If you’d like to purchase Mormonish Merch, you can visit our Merch store here: https://www.etsy.com/shop/mormonishmerch We appreciate our Mormonish viewers and listeners so much!
