Hidden Wisdom by the Latter-day Disciples
The Latter-day Disciples’ mission is to explore the path of ascension, unfold the mysteries of godliness and become Kings and Queens into the Most High God.

Jacob Hess is lead author of The Power of Stillness: Mindful Living for Latter-day Saints, a contributing writer at Deseret News, and a founder and former Editor at Public Square Magazine. He is a former board member of the National Coalition of Dialogue & Deliberation, and wrote You’re Not as Crazy as I Thought, But You’re Still Wrong with Phil Neisser, Dean at State University of New York.
Jacob’s life work is dedicated to making space for thoughtful, good-hearted people to find understanding (and affection) while exploring together the deepest of disagreements. He has been featured on This American Life and honored by Public Conversations Project. Jacob has also helped create online resources for pornography addiction (Fortify) and depression anxiety (Lift) that have reached 200K in 155 countries. He has published 14 peer reviewed articles, with a focus on long-term outcomes – helping people find deeper, more sustainable healing from depression and anxiety through his non-profit, the Council for Sustainable Healing.
Jacob and his sweetheart Monique live in Paradise, Utah, having some modest success raising four boys, and a baby girl – and proving to be reliably mediocre in raising chickens, ducks, goats and a vegetable garden that proves year after year that the earth is still cursed.
