We’re BACK on set with Samantha and Justin to talk about BINGE EATING DISORDER. It’s very likely that someone in your social circle has struggled with a mental disorder (or food disorder) in one way or another. Today we want to talk about the signs, how to cope, and the reasons behind the need to binge.    Samantha talks about how growing up, she was a perfectionist. She wanted to have g...

Okay, well admit it... We weren't crazy familiar with the 12 tribes of Israel going into this episode. BUT in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), you might hear the twelve tribes of Israel referred to in patriarchal blessings and so forth.    In this episode, we talk about the twelve tribes, their responsibilities, and why it's so commo...

In this episode, we get to interview the fabulous McArthur Krishna!! McArthur wrote a book about Heavenly Mother after much research and WOW, she has some incredible information that you don’t want to miss.    In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, we believe in Heavenly Mother and Heavenly Father. We mostly refer to Heavenly Father as “God” and don’t speak much about Heaven...

Okay, first of all, WELCOME TO THE CHANNEL, SAMANTHA!! Samantha will be on more episodes so if you have questions for her, shoot us a DM on Instagram and she'll respond in a future video!    This episode is about a difficulty that most people will feel some time in their life. So let's talk about it! In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (also called the Mormon Church), perf...

In this episode, we interview Burgess Owens, a former NFL player and convert to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints! Burgess grew up in the Bible Belt and had very few experiences with the Church of Jesus Christ. When he joined the NFL, he had amazing opportunities to play with some of the best players to date. He was on a team with 2 members of the Church who had similar family values...

In this episode, David gets the incredible opportunity to interview the Christian movie director, Dallas Jenkins. Dallas is an Evangelical Christian. When he decided to work with VidAngel (a Utah based company which was started by a few Latter-day Saints) to distribute his series about Jesus, it brought together people with different perspectives on Christ, which helped grow their faith. With the...

Pew Research conducted a study that ranked religions according to their knowledge of world religions. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) didn't do as well as we thought. So, we decided to take a few tests to determine our knowledge. The hosts had no knowledge of the questions prior to filming. Their responses are genuine. Don't forget to subscrib...

What in the world is a saving ordinance? It’s important to first understand what the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints means by “ordinance.” Ordinances are sacred, formal acts that hold spiritual significance. These ordinances are performed under the authority of the priesthood (the power and authority that God gives to act in His name). Ordinances can include (but not always) making cov...

We often see this comment (or a variation of this comment) in our YouTube comments. The comment is, "Mormons will disown you if you disagree with/choose to leave the Church!!" It's a bold claim but is it true?    Okay, this is a sensitive topic. There are certainly people who have chosen to leave the church and were then ostracized by their families. And we don't want to ignore their exp...

Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons) have some HILARIOUS jargon! Almost all of the things we mention in this video have been said for decades and just haven't stopped. David proposes that we should put a stop to the crazy stuff Mormons say. Whether or not you're a member of the Church, you'll probably think these words/phrases are hilarious as wel...

Back in 1820, Joseph Smith, a young 14-year-old boy saw God and Jesus face-to-face! You may have heard stories about Joseph Smith and his hand in helping to restore the Church of Jesus Christ in modern days. But have you ever heard the story from those that truly believe?    In this episode, we talk about Joseph Smith and his encounter with God and Jesus Christ (often called 'The First V...

It’s our first time reading these funny Christian memes and they've got us laughing and cringing! We looked up the top Christian memes on the internet and are surprised with what we found... haha. Tell us more if we missed any good ones!    But first! Are Mormons considered Christians? Great question! The official name of the Church is the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (som...

Today we got to chat with Cameron! Cameron served a full-time mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) and had a fabulous time. However, during his time with a particular companion, he learned an extremely valuable lesson. Cameron loved his companion and said he was one of the most dedicated missionaries he ever knew. He began to experience...

In today's episode we sit down with a very special guest! Tyson is the editor for all our videos and today he sits down with us to talk about living with disabilities and how the church and his testimony has shaped his life.    Tyson has grown up with many different challenges. But none have stopped him from becoming the first online missionary for the church. And he wants people to know...

Hey Fam!! In this video, all of the hosts recorded their FAVORITE parts of the semi annual General Conference from the latest session, April 2020! Every 6 months, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints holds what's called "General Conference." During General Conference, leaders of the Church talk to the world and transmit their talks LIVE on YouTube, as well as other sites. As members of...

On today's episode, Kwaku and Mimi sit down with Jesse! Some of you might know her from her own YouTube channel called Sunday Jess.   Jess makes videos talking about modest fashion for women, sister missionary prep and other church (Mormon) topics. In this episode, they talk about some of the positive feedback they get. Along with how they deal with negative feedback towards them and the chur...

We're back with everyone's favorite speaker, Ganel-Lyn! We have so much fun with Ganel-Lyn every time we chat with her and are SO grateful that she came to talk about loving all people. The world needs so much love right now. Everyone is trying to get through something hard, whether it be the difficulties in social distancing, chronic illness, broken hearts, broken families, whatever it may be! Ga...

A Mormon prayer starts by addressing God the Father in some fashion. Mormons then fill the prayer with whatever they find appropriate. They then conclude "in the name of Jesus Christ, amen" or some variation of ending in Christ's name. Mormons ONLY address the Father, unlike other religions which will go through the virgin, saints or others. But Mormons don't believe that there is a mediator betwe...

The Book of Mormon is another testament of Jesus Christ, in addition to the Bible. Mormons believe the Book of Mormon to contain the words of God. Today on the show, we have Joseph Sim, a Mormon millennial YouTuber to talk with us about the different books in the Book of Mormon. So whether or not you're reading the Book of Mormon for the first time or if you've read it many times, you'll want to w...

The Book of Mormon quotes Isaiah more than any other prophet. However, many people call the words of Isaiah "too difficult to understand" or even "boring." David, Kwaku, and Mimi all agreed that they don't enjoy reading Isaiah when reading the Book of Mormon.    We brought our long-time friend Stephen Smoot back to the show to talk about how to better understand Isaiah and get the most o...

Pornography is all over the place. It plagues so many lives and is incredibly addictive. Justin says that pornography is evil and works in secrecy. It thrives in shame.    Satan takes advantage of the powerful gifts that God has given us (the power of procreation) and tricks us into believing false things about those gifts. One of those trickeries is pornography.    David says...

In this episode, Lee came to chat with us about his experience leaving the Church of Jesus Christ (otherwise known as the Mormon church) and coming back. He talks about how the process in coming back can be extremely challenging, due to changes in behavior and desires, but that with faith and hope, IT’S WORTH IT. Lee is witty, positive, and so easy to talk with.     Lee has had all...

If you're a Mormon, it's likely that you've heard the word "Kolob" but don't know much about what it means. Or maybe you've seen the Book of Mormon musical and have heard that Mormons believe that God lives on a planet called "Kolob." Is Kolob truly the location where God lives? Or is it all metaphorical?

This week we had an incredible guest on our show, Tamu Smith! Tamu is one of the two "Sistas In Zion" and coauthor of the book "Diary of Two Mad Black Mormons."    Watch along as we talk about how our church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) is a global church. We spread throughout all parts of the earth. It is a common misconception that we are a church only in the USA.&...
