Hidden: A True Crime Podcast

VISIONS OF GLORY: THOM HARRISON and HIS INFLUENCE ON CHAD DAYBELL, TIM BALLARD and JODI HILDEBRANDT

302 min • 16 november 2023

PART 1 of HIDDEN TRUE CRIME'S COLLABORATION WITH MORMON STORIES PODCAST with Host John Dehlin and Lauren Matthias.

What do Chad Daybell, Tim Ballard, Jodi Hildebrandt all have in common?

Is it Thom Harrison, author of Visions of Glory?

PART ONE explores a book that Hidden True Crime host Lauren Matthias believes motivated the extreme beliefs of not just Chad and Lori Vallow, but also Tim Ballard and recently imprisoned therapist Jodi Hildebrandt.

Thom Harrison is a Utah therapist who published a book called "Visions of Glory" in 2012, focusing on three of his alleged near-death experiences (including personal visitations from Jesus Christ). Thom Harrison and his book have been highly influential across the Mormon "prepper" community, and particularly in the lives and stories of Chad Daybell, Lori Vallow, Tim Ballard, Jodi Hildebrandt, as well as other "preppers" such as Julie Rowe, Rod Meldrum, and alleged abuser-therapist Maurice Harker.

Megan Conner, Lori Vallow Daybell's cousin, as well as Mindy Caldwell, cohost these two episodes exploring the book Visions of Glory, and the influence that Thom Harrison has had an extremist Mormon prepper community.
