Mr. Ballard had already gained a following for his writings and television shows about the Mormon faith. Ryan Fisher, who worked with him on a television series exploring Latter-day Saints history about a decade ago, said he attended a meeting in 2016 with Tim Ballard and the church elder, Apostle M. Russell Ballard, who are not related. The apostle, Mr. Fisher said, talked about using television to make Mr. Ballard into “an American hero” who could help the church achieve its goal of appealing to mainstream evangelicals. Church officials declined to discuss Mr. Ballard’s relationship with Apostle Ballard in detail but said in a statement last year that he had “betrayed their friendship.” [emphasis added]
