Saints Unscripted

Today we talk with one of the greatest couples in the world. Legit. They are so cool. And they have such a unique YouTube channel that you're bound to love. Their YouTube channel is called Itallish (get it? Italian and British? 😍) and they talk about everything under the sun. They also happen to be members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. And *surprise* we're part of the same r...

In March of 2019, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church) dedicated a holy temple in Rome, Italy. The dedication was historic for many reasons. For one, it was the first time in decades that the prophet and all twelve apostles of the Church had been to the same dedication and the first time it had ever happened outside of the United Stat...

In today's episode, we talk about the three witnesses to the golden plates that Joseph Smith (first prophet of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) translated into the Book of Mormon.   Some people think that no other people saw the plates other than Joseph Smith. However, that is not true. Martin Harris, David Whitmer, and Oliver Cowdery were the three witnesses to the plates (al...

In today's episode, we sit down with Jesse, of Sunday Jesse, to talk about Starbucks and what members of the church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints can order! (Also known as Mormons)  Jess makes videos talking about modest fashion for women, sister missionary prep and other church (Mormon) topics. But for today we talk about Starbucks. As many of you know, members of the church (Mormons)...

Kwaku, we love you, but someone had to call you out eventually... 😉  Sometimes we get really, really angry comments from people not of our faith (our religion being the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). And sadly, even people of our faith leave angry comments as well. There seems to be A LOT of contention. Is contention ever okay? When should we fight for our beliefs and if so, h...

Are you worried about how to handle the first year of marriage?   In the episode, David, Justin, with his, "one month and sixteen days" of experience, and Mimi talk about their different experiences going through the first year of marriage and share their insights with us.    Members of the church (sometimes referred to as Mormons) don't believe in living with someone you are dating...

In this episode, we talk all about FAMOUS MORMONS! David quizzes Kwaku on his knowledge of celebrities -- who is and who is not a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church).    A few of the celebrities we mention are: Ryan Gosling, Anne Hathaway, Kaskade, Brendon Urie, Brandon Flowers, and others!! Which are Mormons and which are not?...

In this episode we talk about something unique to Mormonism: Baptisms for the dead. Fun fact. We don't literally baptize dead people. Nope, we actually do work "vicariously" for people that have died. In other words, we act in behalf of those people to be baptized.    Baptism for the dead only happens in LDS (Mormon) temples. Mormon temples can only be entered into by worthy members of t...

Happy gratitude day!! Whether or not you’re watching this on Thanksgiving day or sometime in July, it’s a good day to be thankful :) In this episode, we’ve done something that we’ve NEVER done before. We challenged Mimi, Justin, and David to call someone out of the blue and let them know why they are grateful for them.    In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise know...

In today's episode, Carli joins us to talk about her conversion to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church).    Carli has lived all over the USA but claims New York as her hometown. Because Carli had a somewhat unstable childhood, she learned to take care of herself at a very early age. She'd be independent and eventually began using drugs an...

If you’ve ever read the first page of the Book of Mormon, you’ve heard of the name ‘Nephi.’ He’s the first person introduced (by himself, in fact 😂) in first verse of the book! But who really was he? And why should you know his name?    The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon church or LDS church) regards the Book of Mormon as sacred text, like the...

Today's episode of Saints Unscripted is different than usual... David does a Skype video call with Brett McDonald who has his own YouTube channel called LDS Truth Claims.   David and Brett talk about the criticisms between Joseph Smith and Freemasonry. Lots of critics like to point at the similarities between the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saint's temple ceremonies and freemasonry....

In this episode, Hannah talks to us about mental illness. She has been living with bi-polar disorder for many years. She talks about the stigma behind bi-polar and other mental illnesses, as well as how to navigate life while also dealing with mental illness.    Justin also talks about his struggle with depression and emphasizes how important it is to get professional help, as also stron...

**Almost all leaders (clergy) in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are unpaid and work normal jobs.**    This episode is TOUGH. First and foremost, we want to emphasize that we abhor inappropriate conduct from ANY leader in the Church, regardless of position in the Church. As Justin says in this episode, if you’ve ever been sexually or physically abused by a leader (or anyo...

If you’re preparing to serve a mission, recently returned home from a mission, or want to know about missionaries, this episode is for YOU!  In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), many young adults choose to serve a mission for the Church. (Check out the videos below for more information on LDS missions:)) It may sound like fun to be on your...

In this episode, we talk all about GARMENTS! In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, members who have made temple covenants with God are told to wear ‘garments’ or a special undergarment that goes below the clothing (for pictures of garments and more explanation, check out this video made by the Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMutZ... ).    Justin and Samantha talk a...

In this episode, Taylor and Justin talk about their experience during the COVID-19 quarantine. The current pandemic has caused a lot of changes in "normal" worship for many, many religions. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), the standard worship occurs every Sunday in-person for 2 hours. But, due to the pandemic, Sunday worship is done in eac...

When a loved one leaves the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, family members react in a variety of ways. There have been absolutely horrible stories about the ways in which friends and family have reacted to someone leaving the Church, of which we do not condone. Taylor and Sam discuss why Mormons react the way they do and how they can better react to their loved ones leaving the Church...

For this episode, we're back on Zoom (don't worry, we'll be back on set next time) and we're with Mimi and Justin! With all of the differences in opinion online, lots of friendships have been lost, lots of anger has been expressed, and lots of love has been lost. Social media can be fabulous but during this time of unrest, there is definitely lots of anger that we need to confront. How do we love...

Today Taylor vlogs with his wife, Amy, and their cute baby, Charlie! Whether you're new to parenting, wanting to be a parent, or have been a long-time parent, this episode is for you (okay, and if you love seeing cute babies because Charlie is the ultimate charmer). Taylor and Amy talk about the process of becoming parents, what they've learned, and when they believe is the best time to have a bab...

Taylor and Justin have been filming as hosts Saints Unscripted together for awhile yet haven’t ever really “broken the ice.” Since we’re now filming with just the two of them (until the quarantine ends), we decided it’s time for them to really get to know each other by playing “This or That,” arguably the best get-to-know you game on YouTube! 😂 Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: ht...

It’s rare that we have a guest on the channel that isn’t a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints… but we LOVE having guests of any background so we were stoked to get to have Kyle on the show to talk about his experiences! Kyle grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ (also known as the Mormon Church) but left the Church in his late teens. He talks about his experience leaving the...

In this episode, we talk all about Halloween and answer questions like, why do we, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes referred to as Mormons) celebrate Halloween especially when we know its roots come from paganism?   Mimi points out examples of other holidays with pagan roots, Kwaku rants about candy companies (while secretly being one of their most loya...

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (Okay, maybe you're watching this after Halloween... in which case, happy whatever day it is!)    Today on 3 Mormons, we talk about whether or not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons or LDS) believe in ghosts.    Kwaku, Justin, and David all share the experiences they've had with ghosts. Kwaku emphasizes the im...

Taylor and Amy are back from their home (okay, from baby Charlie’s room) to vlog about having a BABY!! In this episode, they share all the tips to being new parents and taking care of a baby. They talk about both pregnancy and postpartum, as well as Amy’s experience with postpartum depression (which began a little bit before the baby was born).    Both Amy and Taylor agree that one of th...
