Have you ever wondered if you are really feeling the spirit? Have you wanted to see if other people feel the same way as you do when it comes to the topic? This week on Saints Unscripted, we had Wayne Burton on to help us talk about the topic, " Recognizing the Spirit." Watch along as comment what you are thinking.

Do members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons) celebrate Christmas? YES! We love Christmas. As Christians (or believers in Jesus Christ), we absolutely celebrate his birth on the 25th of December (even though we know he wasn’t necessarily born this time of year). We love our Savior and celebrating his glorious birth.   On this episode of Saints...

Is the Christmas story you've heard your whole life totally true? Today on 3 Mormons, we've teamed up with David Snell (mastermind behind The Sunday Pews and talented writer for Mormon Hub) to talk about the common misconceptions involved in the well-known Christmas story. We talk about the 3 wise men, the actual date of Christ's birth, the idea of Christ being born in a stable, etc.

In today's episode, the saint's unscripted crew talks about the resurrection of Jesus Christ. What do members of the Church of Jesus Christ of latter-day saints (also known as Mormons) believe about this?  They discuss church doctrine about the resurrection. What will happen when we all get resurrected? Do we all get resurrected all at once or what will happen during this time? There are many...

In today's episode we have an awesome guest, Jeff Roundy. Jeff has his own YouTube channel called, Latter-Day Saints' Q&A. 😱   He started the page after attending the FairMormon conference,  to help better promote online content about the church, and to also answer any critical questions.   David and Jeff discus  why it is critical for church members to produce c...

At what point are you actually clean from your sins? In most christian religions, members of the religion are encouraged to ask Christ or God for a remission (or cleansing) from their sins. They are taught to repent and be made whole. But what if you pray and you still feel guilty?   In this video, Justin, Kwaku and David talk about what it means to be made clean from your sins and how y...

In this episode, Robert joins us to share his unique conversion story. Robert talks about being raised in the church, his mission, which gave him heavy depression, leaving the church and slowly making his way back to the gospel.   However it took a while for him to recover his feelings towards the church. Faith crisis, heavy depression and leaving the church have all been obstacles in hi...

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, otherwise known as the Mormon Church, members are given 'callings.' But what in the world does that mean??   A few examples of callings are Bishop, Sunday School Teacher, Relief Society Counselor, Mission President, etc. Callings are extended by someone holding authority and are given to those who want to accept the calling. Ultimately,...

In this episode, Dan joins us to talk about epistemology! Epistemology is a fancy word for determining what is belief, justified belief, and knowledge. Ultimately, it's how we determine what is true.   Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or the LDS Church) are sometimes accused of being 'brainwashed,' yet Dan illustrates the wa...

Because families are a HUGE element of LDS doctrine, young Mormons often think about the kind of person with whom they want to have a family.   Do Mormons only look to date and marry other Mormons? This is hard to answer, Kwaku says. While he doesn't necessarily only date Mormons, he does want to marry someone who is a Mormon. David says that it's important to have similar values and cor...

Have you ever been so hurt by someone that you find it ludicrous to forgive them? Have you ever felt so broken that you just don't know if you can ever forgive them? Have you ever done something you knew was wrong and now don't feel like you deserve forgiveness?   As you might recall, Jesus Christ told us to forgive EVERYONE. In Doctrine and Covenants 64:10, the Lord says, "I, the Lord,...

And when is a prophet wrong?  In this episode, David talks about how God uses imperfect people to carry forth his perfect work. He talks about how just as well all make mistakes, being hu...

In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church), members are split up into 'wards' based on geographic location. If there is a high concentration of people that are singles and in the same age range, they are given the choice to go to a 'singles ward.' And that's where a lot of interesting things come into play... singles wards have a good mi...

In this episode, we got to interview two of the most loving individuals in the world. Leo joined us for an episode about growing up LDS, losing his faith, becoming atheist, and then coming back to the Church.

On the first Sunday of every month (with some exceptions), the LDS Church holds a 'fast.' To fast is to go without something for a period of time. In the Mormon Church, "fasting" typically refers to giving up food and water for a 24-hour period (or for 2 consecutive meals). There is a principle of sacrifice involved in fasting that allows us to have a more clear communication with God.  &nbsp...

You know when you love something SO MUCH that you want to share it with everyone? You know how religion is one of the most debated topics in history? Well what do you do when you want to share your religion with your friends but don’t want to lose your friendship with them since religion is such a controversial topic?   This is a VERY common concern among members of the Church. [Fun fact...

In the Church of Jesus Christ (often called the Mormon Church), there are a lot of ideas about worthiness. The Church even has leaders conduct "worthiness interviews" that are intended to help members of the Church be worthy to enter the temple. Further, it is often said that one should be 'worthy' before taking the Sacrament on Sunday (partaking of bread and water). So how in the world do I know...

Do Mormons worship a different Jesus than the rest of Christianity? Welllll... This isn't an easy question to answer. Mormons believe in the Jesus Christ that came to earth as the Savior of the world. We believe in the Jesus that died on the cross, that suffered in the Garden of Gethsemane, and the Jesus that rose again on the third day. We believe in the Jesus who visited the Americas after his r...

The Mormon Church has long emphasized the dangers of pornography. But what is pornography?

Mormons are discouraged from getting tattoos. But what if you join the Church when you already have tattoos? And what if you get a tattoo while you're a member of the Church? Will God look at you differently if you have tattoos?   Al Fox has been nicknamed 'The Tattooed Mormon.' She was tattooed before she joined the LDS Church and is tattooed to this day. Why? Because, Al says, the aton...
