There is this cultural thing inside the church wherein other members think it’s their business as to whether your child is going to go on a mission or not. Generally, when a kid turns 18 in the church, a swarm of people rush in and start peppering the kid and the parents with questions such as…

My son had an obsession with video games. Chances are… your son might have one too. Many of us know that our kids are obsessed, even addicted to video games and that it’s ruining their lives, but many of us don’t do anything about it. We’re the ones that buy it, enable it, and even…
I learned a big lesson the other day. It involved a bum, an Evangelical Christian, and a meal at Chick-fil-A. So there we were… my dad and I had cruised over to Chick-fil-A for a quick bite to eat for lunch. I had no idea I was going to receive one of the most severe…
Recently, there was a man who was absolutely posturized for being excommunicated. The thing is… it’s really none of my business. In some circles, people have ruthlessly trashed this man on speculation alone for the last four days. Consider the effect this might have on a person’s future, a person’s extended family, and especially a person’s…
Over and over again… Facebook message after Facebook message, email after email, I am sent stories from women who feel like there is no reason for them to go on in the church because their vision of eternity contains nothing but loneliness, heartache, and distrust. The childhood vision of a successful marriage and a happy…

Just about a week ago, my dad and I wandered around the streets of Downtown Salt Lake looking for a Deseret Bookstore. We were strangers there. We had no clue where to go. We walked through City Creek Mall, tried to look at the map on the kiosk… and still, we were lost. Eventually, we made…
I noticed one of the craziest things from a blog post I published not too long ago. In that blog post, I mentioned that I felt like there was a “revolution of love” that was taking place inside of the church. My observation was that people in the church are starting to become more accepting…
Recently, I was wandering around in the hills near my house trying to get some exercise when I stumbled upon a sight that inspired me to think about my role a member of the restored church. It was a sight I had seen many times before because of the massive excavation and development that was taking…
I have this theory… that the key to winning the fight for “religious freedom” is found right within the Book of Mormon. Yeah, the book that millions of people around the world attempt to prove true and false on a regular basis. Regardless of whether or not you believe the book to be true, it…
