Today on Saints Unscripted, we discuss a question that many people have wondered, oftentimes in the most difficult moments of life. Are there times when God has forgotten me?

ver the past few years, we've had many different accusations concerning our purpose as a Latter-day Saint YouTube channel. We've been told that we are running a particular political agenda, that we are perpetuating a certain narrative in relation to the Church of Jesus Christ, and more.   So why did Saints Unscripted start? Does Saints Unscripted have a political agenda? What is the purpose of Saints Unscripted? Is Saints Unscripted trying to cause controversy? Well, we want to answer all of these questions so we're going to get REAL in this episode today. Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

We don't typically record videos addressing the content from Come Follow Me, but we just felt like the topic of having a "soft heart" from this week (Come Follow Me, March 14th-20th) was a necessity.   When you think of someone that has a soft heart, who do you think of? What are their characteristics? Are they a person that inspires you? Today, the hosts talk about the characteristics of a soft heart and why having a soft heart is fundamental to our becoming like Jesus Christ Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

While it’s common knowledge that forgiveness is generally good, do we have to forgive every person in every situation? What is the purpose of forgiveness? How can we be more forgiving?   Today on Saints Unscripted, we talk all about forgiveness. Jesus Christ taught us to forgive, even when it’s difficult. Why do you choose to forgive?

Today we invited Mauli to come back on Saints Unscripted and respond to the comments on his first video with us all about Black members of the LDS Church and the priesthood ban. If you aren't familiar with the priesthood ban, watch this playlist for more information: https://bit.ly/3pK3pWt Mauli responds to questions about an apology from the LDS Church (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), what the LDS Church should do moving forward, and why he isn't planning on leaving the church anytime soon.

We are thrilled to have Wain on the show today! Wain Myers wrote a remarkable book (linked below) and was a stellar leader of Genesis Group. Today he joins us to talk about how leaders of the LDS Church (and members at-large) can change the environment toward greater inclusion for Black members of the Church (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). Wain has seen much pain and struggle among his fellow Black members of the church but says such pain isn't new and should be addressed immediately. He also talks about the importance of taking care of the people closest to you first (such as the Black members IN the church) before trying to build connections when your home isn't stable. His thoughts are equally powerful and hopeful. From this episode, we hope you gain insight as to what you can do to better build relationships with those around you and address the difficult thing right as they come up. Check out Wain's book!

Today on Saints Unscripted, we ask David and Allex some of the MOST important questions about the LDS Church (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) that they have ever been asked in their LIVES. (Okay, maybe not, I'll verify with them and get back to you...)  Today we play the classic game of ""Would You Rather"" where we ask the hosts which of two options they'd prefer. We ask questions about jello, Elder Uchtdorf, Joseph Smith, Star Wars, and more!

We LOVE conversion stories, if you haven’t noticed already ;) Today’s interview with Taylor was so touching and happy. Taylor shared her conversion story to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon church) and how her mental health has been while she embarks on this new journey.  When Taylor was young, she didn’t have much religious background. One summer, she decided to visit her cousins (who were members of the LDS Church) and began talking to the missionaries. She told the missionaries she didn’t want to get baptized but then something changed. Watch the video to learn more!!   Taylor also shares how mental health challenges have affected her during her life, to which Justin relates. Together, they talk about why they choose to go to church despite many difficulties that may come.  

On today's episode, we talk about why you should attend the temple more frequently :) Attending the temple during a pandemic can be very complicated, as many temples have attendance restrictions. But we are so grateful that many are open and available to attend, even if doing so must be scheduled in advance. Caleb and Kaitlyn discuss the importance of attending the temple, especially for the peace that they feel when they attend frequently. What are your temple goals for 2022?
