Saints Unscripted

We filmed this episode on November 3rd, 2020, ELECTION DAY in the United States of America! (Also, we realize many of you aren’t from the USA and didn't vote, BUT we hope this episode is still beneficial in some way.) A common question we get, as members of the Church of Jesus Christ (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), is if we all align the same politically. The answer? Absolutely not! In thi...

If you haven’t watched our playlist called Faith and Beliefs (with new episodes coming out every Wednesday), YOU NEED TO.

David Snell is the host of the show and Taylor Yorgasen films and edits the videos. In this episode, they talk about the making of Faith...

We LOVE having guests on our channel to share their conversion stories to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) and this episode with Melanie is no exception!! Melanie joined us via Zoom from the United Kingdom to talk about how she joined the Church in August of 2020. In school, she heard about the Church of Jesus Christ from her religion class and...

There seems to be an ongoing controversy about why the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) has no official stance on plastic surgery but has expressed disdain for tattooing one's body. In this episode, we address our personal opinions on plastic surgery, why plastic surgery is so common in Utah (a Mormon-populated state), and how tattoos fit into the...

In this episode, Peyton joins us again (watch his conversion stories if you haven’t) to talk about his experience as a recent convert in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). After Peyton’s conversion, he went through a series of difficulties (as is common after converting to the Church) which led him to need the power of repentance in his life. Ho...

FRIENDS. You are going to LOVE this episode! We had the pleasure of filming with Eric Samuels, a convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). This is the first time we’ve interviewed with someone who was previously a member of the Luciferian Church and is now a member of the LDS Church. He tells his story of marrying his wife, a member of the L...

Taylor has been a part of Saints Unscripted for almost a year now and we FINALLY get to hear his conversion story!   Taylor says that, while he was raised in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), he wasn’t always converted (or fully in agreement) with the Church. Taylor went to a school for members of the Church and had some experiences g...

We’ve wanted to talk about this for a LONG TIME because, well, women have been oversexualized for a long time and it doesn’t seem to be getting any better. We are so grateful to have Samantha share some incredible insights on the topic and are grateful for David’s listening ear during this episode.   In this episode, we discuss what female oversexualization is, why it has become what it...

This just might be one of the most sad videos we have to post… And we’ve been soooo reluctant to tell you guys… but Mimi is officially no longer a member of Saints Unscripted :(    First, we want to thank Mimi for her incredible efforts. She came to Saints Unscripted at the perfect time and brought a light and energy that we knew we needed. Her fearlessness in sharing her testimony of th...

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church) has a lot of similar doctrine to other religions. Because the Church is a christian religion, you'll find a lot of overlap when it comes to the doctrine of Christ. However, there are some important differences. In this episode, we talk about our favorite doctrine found in the restored Church. D...

We LOVE the comments we get on our videos! As you can see in the comment sections, we get a lot of love and a lot of hate and a lot of everything in between. Being members of the Church of Jesus Christ (often called Mormons), sharing our opinion on YouTube is both exciting and intimidating. There aren't many members of the Church (also referred to as the LDS Church) who strictly talk about the gos...

In our episodes with Nick about overcoming pornography addiction, we had A LOT of encouragement to make another episode addressing the same topic (pornography) but to address some additional concerns.

Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https:/...

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) are encouraged to be wise with their finances. But what exactly does that mean? Is debt okay? If so, for what purposes? Also, are we required to keep a strict budget?

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, there is a pamphlet for young adults called “For the Strength of Youth” which essentially contains guidelines for how to behave in public as a young adult. The pamphlet has been changed a number of times since the 1960’s (when it was first released). The revisions have been necessary, as you can tell from this video. Today we respond to the origi...

Today we’re responding to a question that we’ve received A LOT! What is repentance? When do I need to repent? Should I repent for everything?

This is a topic we’ve been asked to film for A LONG TIME and we FINALLY filmed it! Many people have told us that they have an upcoming baptism date or are interested in being baptized but aren’t sure what to expect. We’ve filmed lots of videos about baptism but haven’t really focused on tips for being baptized.    In this episode, we talk about what to expect after you join the Church of...
