For some reason, if an LDS male member has any kind of scruff, a beard, or a goatee, they are likely going to have to endure some kind of ridiculous comment from at least a few members of their ward or stake. In case there was anyone who didn’t know… having a beard, or any…

Sacrament talks over the years have somewhat become a source of frustration to myself and many others that I’ve talked to over the years. It’s no mystery that talks often go way off course, aren’t focused on the Savior, and cause missionaries worldwide to cringe at the thought. But yesterday, I was blessed to have the…
I just sat facing President Nelson during a Sacrament meeting today and what I experienced will change my life. Here’s how it happened: On Saturday, I was with a few of my friends and coworkers in the mountains when I received an email from our bishop that went out to all ward members: “It will be…
Since the beginning of the church, policies have been the primary source of apostasy and contention within the church. But those same policies have also in many cases protected the church and its members from unsuspecting problems. The leaders of the church, to the best of their ability, implement policies as a shield or a…
Right about now, there are people marching on Church Headquarters over the fact that bishops meet with and interview LDS youth regarding worthiness. I totally get their cause. I don’t necessarily understand starving myself in order to prove a point, but I get the purpose behind it. We want to protect our kids from predators….
There’s something that you need to know about an unspeakable horror that is taking place in our world. Unfortunately, this thing is not something that most people like to talk about, and the people declaring war on this evil are few and far between. Here’s what’s happening and here’s why it’s happening: Kids around the…
Many people assume that if you don’t “know” something as it pertains to the church, then you don’t have a testimony and you’re weak in the gospel. But I can say truthfully, that I have never been stronger in the gospel… and it has nothing to do with “knowing” anything. I can say honestly that…
“Utah Mormons are so judgy” “Mormons are so different in Utah.” “It’s those Utah Mormons…” “I can’t stand Utah Mormons” These are some of the things I see and hear on a regular basis from other Mormons who don’t live in Utah… or who have lived in Utah and didn’t have a great experience within…
I’m convinced that the best way to convert someone to Mormonism is to not try and convert them at all. Everything that we do for other people doesn’t need to be a “missionary opportunity.” If we just do good for the sake of doing good, then I believe we’ll have more effectual opportunities to show someone what…
Dear President Nelson, I can’t imagine how you must be feeling right now. You’ve been asked to fill some big shoes and I’m sure that in the coming days, weeks, and months that you’ll be under an immense amount of pressure. This may or may not help, but I just wanted you to know that I sustain…
