Don’t believe everything you hear about the Mormons. Odds are…it’s probably not true. When my wife and I were dating before I left on my mission (yes…I was engaged when I left on my mission), we did the nerdiest stuff you can think of. Instead of going to the movies, we derived pleasure from visiting the various…

The Bible is a pretty awesome book…as long as you see it for what it is and what it is not. The Bible is certainly not ‘infallible’ and it’s definitely not ‘complete’. Anyone who tells you that, just doesn’t understand where the Bible came from and what it went through in order to reach us. The…
Over the years I have talked to hundreds of people that want to come back to church, want to go on a mission, or want to raise their kids in the Church in good conscience. Many more write to me privately through this blog, expressing their desire to come back but not knowing how to…

Those three questions consist of: Where did we come from? Why are we here on…
One day in Nauvoo, The prophet Joseph dressed up in the worst clothes he could find, got on a horse, and rode down to a boat just as it was emitting a whole load of converts from England. The first man that came up the row, he stopped. “Why are you here?” he enquired. “I…
About a month or so ago, my son and I went out for a boy’s night out date to BJ’s Pizza. For some reason, our kids think it’s cool to go out with one parent, individually. They both begged us to go to the same place. So there we went… driving separate cars to the exact…
[Tweet “When you’re seeking truth… ask God, not Google”] A Mormon missionary knocks on your door and asks to share a message with you. You’ve heard a lot of stuff about the “Mormons” and you’ve probably even slammed the door on them a time or two over the years. You can’t figure out why they wear…

Even worse, loving parents have lost their precious children in infancy and had to endure the thought that their…
