Prior to this episode, we asked our Instagram audience for their questions about pornography addiction so we could ask Nic. Nic says he has been addicted to pornography for over 2 decades, some of that time during his marriage. We filmed his story in Part One of this series that will certainly give you better background into his story and will definitely give more hope to your story, whatever it m...

We LOVED having Nic on our show to tell his story of overcoming pornography. His story is so genuine and powerful. If you've ever struggled with pornography, know someone who has struggled with pornography, or simply want to better understand those who struggle, this is the episode for you!    This is part 1 of a 2-part series: The first part is Nic's story and the second part is Nic ans...

Mimi, Izzy and Korinne talk about Mormon garments and the importance of modesty.    (PRO TIP: If you haven't seen our explanation on garments or 'magic Mormon underwear, check out this video first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMNwb... ​)    The three girls discuss whether or...

Taylor and Sam were challenged to pray every day for 10 consecutive minutes for one week. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, prayer is strongly encouraged, as speaking to God is essential to understanding His will. As members of the Church of Jesus Christ, we don’t normally recite prayers but rather pray to God with the sentiments in our heart, as frequently as we need and even in...

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons) are accused of having LOTS of commandments that they must abide by in order to gain exaltation. So today we wanted to address why we keep commandments.    What are “Mormon” commandments? Are some things just suggestions and some things commandments? Why does God give commandments and why are we suppos...

Samantha (who frequently goes by Sam on this channel) shares her conversion story today and it is INCREDIBLE. Sam has been a host on Saints Unscripted since last summer and she has been SUCH AN ASSET. Her episodes on women in the Church have been so important and widely popular (be sure to check them out) and her thoughts in all the other episodes have been so helpful to many members in the Saints...

There are manyyyyy assumptions about how children are raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). But which assumptions are true? Well, today on Saints Unscripted, we wanted to tell you our personal experiences about being raised in the LDS Church. While we have some notes about what we want to discuss, this episode is totally unscripted. We wa...

*This was originally released on YouTube on December 31, 2020** We’re fairly confident that a common sentiment about the year 2020 is that it was absolutely CRAZY! So many unexpected things occurred and didn’t seem to end… for the entire year! So today, we want to talk about all the crazy things that have occurred but also all of the things we’re looking forward to in the coming year.   ...

*This was recorded for Joseph Smith's birthday on December 23rd* HAPPY BIRTHDAY, JOSEPH SMITH!! Today marks 215 years since the birth of Joseph Smith, Jr. Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) believe that Joseph Smith was called by God to restore the Church of Jesus Christ as it had existed in the Bible. Joseph Smith was the first prophe...

For a week, we participated in a challenge that we’ve never done before… we decided to MEDITATE every day, without fail. As members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), meditation isn’t explicitly addressed BUT ‘pondering’ and finding moments of silence are encouraged. Some leaders in the Church have advocated for more diligence to meditation (...

Buzzfeed released a video of what it’s like to be a Mormon Missionary… and it’s pretty hilarious! We decided we HAD to react to it, especially since both hosts, Justin and Taylor, have been actual Mormon missionaries (correctly named missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, or LDS Church).    Taylor and Justin talk about the accuracy of the video, as well as some...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) holds a semi-annual General Conference where they address the world about topics pertaining to the gospel of Jesus Christ.

In this episode, we talk about EASTER! In the Church of Jesus Christ, otherwise known as the Mormon Church, Easter is celebrated and loved by most members of the Church. However, there definitely isn't the same emphasis on Easter within the typical LDS home as there is in other christian homes. Why not? Are we celebrating Easter incorrectly?

On today’s episode, we chat with our new friend Peyton! You are going to LOVE his story of finding the Church, waiting to be baptized, joining, leaving, and finally coming back.    Peyton learned about the Church from a friend and had decided he wanted to be baptized, but he didn’t receive permission from his parents. After he was finally baptized, Peyton experienced very difficult life...

This is a comment/question we get A LOT. Are Mormons brainwashed? There are a lot of reasons as to why members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints might be viewed as brainwashed and we want to address those reasons, as members of the LDS Church. Debate.org asked why Mormons are brainwashed and they received a variety of answers, which we discuss here. Some of the answers include: &n...

It was a privilege to have Brock Heasley on the show! He is an author and a film director with a truly POWERFUL testimony and perspective of the gospel of Jesus Christ. His father was shot and killed while Brock was on his mission when he was 19 years old. He shares how he feels about the men who killed his father… and it might surprise you!

**This episode isn’t to prove that Joseph Smith is a prophet, nor is it an attempt to determine Joseph Smith as a prophet simply because of his similarities to other prophets. Determining if Joseph Smith is a prophet is something that you’ll have to determine on your own through asking God in prayer and studying His words.**    **For more episodes about Joseph Smith, check out these play...

Ryan shares his story of living as an orphan, being adopted, going through a rebellious childhood, joining the army, getting married, going thro...

FRIENDS. We love you. So much. We started this channel over 4 years ago with little idea of what it would become. We simply wanted to talk about our faith as candidly and honestly as possible. We wanted to share our beliefs authentically, as our beliefs seemed to be told by people who were very much against our religion. Little did we know how many friends we would make (all of you!) or how much l...

If you follow our channel, you know that hosts Sam and Justin are both members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). While they have been members of the Church for the majority of their lives, they have attended many other church meetings for other religions and in this episode, they share their experiences in such churches. Both Sam and Justin...

In the past few months, we’ve been trying to cover more topics pertaining to women (particularly Mormon women). In this episode, Sam and Justin talk about women in the workforce. Do women belong in the workforce? And in regards to Mormon women, should they stay at home?    Sam talks about the history of Mormon in the workforce (things that have been said to members and leaders of the Chu...
