Do LDS Influencers Ever Get Paid by the Church?

If you've only heard "No" to this question, my answer might surprise you.

If you've ever scrolled past a Latter-day Saint influencer sharing about the new garment styles or posting a perfectly posed temple date selfie, you've probably wondered:

“Wait... are they getting paid for this?”

It’s a fair question, especially as gospel-centered content becomes more polished, consistent, and frequent across social media. Some creators even turn their passion for sharing the gospel into full-time work.

So what’s the deal? Is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints paying influencers to post testimonies, promote values, or push religious messaging?

Well, my answer might surprise you.
