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…
“He will exercise you by giving you little things to do, and in due time He will give you big things to do, very big…” “Adam, do you wanna come with me to church this Sunday?” Zac Stott, who is member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and my former teammate,…
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 take no pleasure in writing this. There are false prophets right now among us preaching that the world is ending. Ignore them. They are distracting from the truth. Worse, those who pay attention to them may be led astray. Jesus taught us to be wary of such individuals because “if it were possible, they…
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…
