On his first mission in Asia, Preston experienced the unthinkable: he was sexually and emotionally abused by a companion. Returning home early, he dealt with clinical PTSD, depression, and was understandably bitter toward God. 

Preston wrote about his experience of healing through Christ's atonement in his new book, "This Boy and His Mother"—the title coming from a quote in Elder Holland's conference talk, "Behold Thy Mother," in which he detailed some of Preston's story.   

On today's episode, we talk about Preston's experience, the book, and some of the key lessons he learned in the healing process.

"CDC Family Foundations of Youth Development study found 44% of Latter-day Saint LGBTQ youths had seriously considered suicide compared to 47% of LGBTQ youths from other religions and 77% of Atheist/Agnostic LGBTQ youths"

Data from the OME shows that suicides of youth age 10–17 make up about 6 percent of suicides per year in Utah.

The American Foundation for Suicide Prevention points out, “suicide deaths are almost always the result of multiple overlapping causes, including mental health issues that might not have been recognized or treated.”
