In this episode, we discuss an article written by Third Hour called “Members of the Church Need to STOP Saying These 6 Things.” Many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints have gotten into the habit of saying some things that are incorrect and often critical. We wanted to discuss six of the comments and why they might be incorrect or hurtful. While we believe that the gospel of Jesus Christ (as found in the Church of Jesus Christ, or Mormon Church) is true, we don’t believe that all of the cultural things should be perpetuated. Be more aware of the things you are saying! You might be surprised at how cultural they really are :) Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

Javier came to the United States from COLOMBIA! He has been a member of the Church of Jesus Christ (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) for awhile and has A LOT of experience living the gospel in different cultures.    Javier arrived in the United States with a lot of unknowns. But upon arriving and going to a LDS Church building, he immediately felt at home and like he had a family. He talks about the power in having a family wherever you go.    For members of the Church, you might wonder— what do people in Colombia think about the Church? And what’s it like for someone outside of Utah to visit the iconic Salt Lake Temple for the first time? Javier tells all:) Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

What happens after death? Will people who haven't heard the restored gospel have the opportunity to hear it or is this life the only chance?    If you die without a testimony of Jesus Christ, you aren't doomed. If you've never heard about the gospel of Jesus Christ, you'll have the opportunity to hear it and accept it in the life to come. How cool! This is a belief found in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, otherwise known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church.    We believe in ministry that extends beyond this life and we believe that all people are loved by God, our Heavenly Father. He wants all people to return to Him and has made that possible through Jesus Christ and through after-life ministry (which was made possible through the atonement of Jesus Christ who broke the bands of death).

We LOVE conversion stories and Mariah’s was nothing short of amazing. Growing up, she had very negative feelings towards the Church of Jesus Christ (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). She had no intention of ever joining. In fact, she was very much against the Church... unless something changed!

Divorce is a tough topic to discuss even though it is quite common. We've published a few videos about divorce so what makes this one different?   In this episode, Sam and Taylor talk about growing up with divorced parents and how they coped with the changes to their families. Both grew up with parents who were members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In the Church of Jesus Christ, marriage is taken very seriously, as it is promised to last for eternity, so long as both partners stay true to their sealing in the temple... So when divorce occurs, there are a LOT of questions about the future of the family.   Is it possible to move past the divorce of your parents? Sam and Taylor give all of their advice on how they were able to cope and continue to cope moving forward :) Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

Is what I'm feeling the Spirit? How do I know when I'm feeling the Holy Ghost?    Mormons talk about 'feeling the Spirit' quite frequently. Mimi points out that an important thing to recognize is that God speaks to us through the Spirit, so it's ever important to recognize the Spirit.    David said that he isn't always able to recognize when he IS feeling the Spirit but he always recognizes when he is NOT feeling the Spirit. While some people have experiences of feeling the Spirit intensely, many others feel the Spirit quietly.   He often feels the spirit in retrospect. Elder Richard G. Scott said, "The Holy Ghost communicates important information that we need to guide us in our earthly journey." If you are living the best you can, you can trust that you will be inspired (though you might not realize it until afterwards).

Many christian religions condemn divorce. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (others known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church), divorce isn't taken lightly. HOWEVER, there are certainly times when divorce is necessary and even encouraged.    Today on Saints Unscripted (formerly known as 3 Mormons), we talk with Holly. Holly is remarkable! Her story is a story of faith, of empowerment, and of love. For as long as Holly can remember, marriage was heavily stressed. She was raised in the Church and thus, was taught the importance of an eternal marriage. She knew that when she was married in the temple, her marriage would be for eternity and she would need to fight for her marriage. However, she finally reached a point where she knew that for her happiness and for the happiness of her children, she would need to leave her marriage.   Holly talks about being made whole after a divorce and how to maintain your self-worth even after such a traumatic event. She also talks about the reasons why she believes divorce is more common today than ever before. Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

Ludovica is AMAZING! We loved having her on the show and hearing about her INCREDIBLE life!!    Ludo was born and raised in Italy where her family became members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). She grew up being in the minority as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ. During high school, she decided to move to the United States. The transition was difficult. She talks about the differences in culture and other challenges.    Ludovica's career in music took off shortly after. But it wasn't easy...
