In the business world, there’s an acronym that goes by the name of BHAG. It stands for a “Big Hairy Audacious Goal.” This saying represents something so big, so out of this world hard to accomplish, that few even try. It’s just too hard for most people. This seemingly impossible goal, in my opinion, is…

I haven’t written much lately, but there is something that really worries me. I don’t want good brothers and sisters in the gospel to fight with one another and then leave the church because of a simple little mask. The world is going through a lot. People are going through a lot. There is confusion…
Note from Greg: The following guest post was written by John Hilton III, an Associate Professor of Ancient Scripture at Brigham Young University. He reached out to me based on a connection between my my book, The Cultural Evolution Inside of Mormonism, and his book, The Founder of our Peace. Both John and I welcome…
When I was about 20 years old and I thought I had everything figured out, I walked into my bishop’s office and reluctantly told him I’d serve a mission. I laid out this sob story about all the things I’d have to leave and give up. The bishop sort of sat there and stared at…
I could be wrong, but have this feeling that one of the most important things we’ll do as members of the church in this life… is to make others feel welcome and wanted. I know the ordinances and covenants and everything that goes along with them is really important, but as the great apostle Paul…
I’ve never been to Jerusalem. Never been to the temple mount. And even if I could go to Jerusalem, it’s not going to be the same experience as when Christ was on the earth. The Biblical setting is something many of us can only read about. But not too long ago, a few guys came…
I woke up to what I considered some good news from the Church yesterday. But along with it, for some reason, came also a slew of negativity toward the prophet and the apostles. Can people not see that President Nelson and the apostles are trying their hardest to do what’s right? Can you imagine the…
As a family, we choose to do something that most people would consider quite strange. We perform baptisms for the dead. No, we’re not grave diggers, and we don’t drag dead people to a baptismal font or to a local lake. We may be weird… but we’re not that weird. To be fair, everyone has…
A while back, President Nelson asked the youth to perform a 7 day “social media fast.” Then he asked the relief society to do the same. And then in other settings, we’ve all be asked to take a break from social media. One of the things I love most about the members of the church…
There are thousands upon thousands of faithful church members who live in a constant state of unhappiness. They’ve done “all the right things” so to speak. They pay their tithing, are saying their prayers, and reading their scriptures. They’re keeping the commandments and showing up for all of their meetings. They go on missions, serve others,…
