Saints Unscripted

Today Ian and Kwaku talk about the Godhead and some of the main differences of the Godhead and the Trinity.  The Trinity consists of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit that all exist as one being. The Godhead consists of God, Jesus Christ and the Holy Ghost. We believe that they are all separate beings with the same purpose. We hope you enjoy

Hey! Did you notice the new face on 3 Mormons? His name is Justin and is a good friend of Kwaku. He joined Kwaku today to talk about something of deep importance to the Mormon religion.  Years ago, the LDS Church released a document called The Living Christ. The document is an inspired piece written by our beloved prophets and apostles in the Mormon Church. The document talks about the importance of Jesus Christ and expresses our deep reverence and love for him. We encourage everyone to read the document thoroughly. 

Ian's wife, Sienna, came to talk about Mormon marriages and what it means to be get married in a Mormon temple. Ian and Sienna first talk about their marriage in the temple, being sealed for time and all eternity, making a covenant with God. A covenant, they explain, is a promise. The promise made in the temple is between God and the spouses. They talk about LDS temple sealings and how it's possible for us to be with our families throughout the eternities, even after death.  This is one of the most beautiful, wonderful teachings in Mormonism and we're very excited to share with each of you.  We hope you all enjoy! We encourage those of you who are wondering what the inside of a temple looks like to visit an open house of a temple. Every time a temple is built, the church holds an open house for those we are wanting to see the outside, inside, and everything else.

In this episode, we welcome back the infamous Stephen Smoot, the most prolific Star Wars fan in the galaxy (if you disagree, let us know in the comments below). With the newest episode of Star Wars coming out soon, we had an important question: is Star Wars connected to Mormonism? Is the force connected to the priesthood?  And ultimately, why in the world do Mormons like Star Wars so much? While Kwaku may not understand, Stephen and Ian make some pretty good points about Star Wars and Mormonism. 

Mormon underwear is frequently asked about and oftentimes criticized. Mormons call their underwear "garments" but the rest of the world might say things like "magic Mormon underwear" or other terms that are sometimes hilarious. However, Mormons regard their underwear to be sacred due to what they represent. Mormon garments represent the covenants that members of the Church have made with God. The LDS garment is often considered a symbol of an inner commitment to God.  If you have ever wondered why Mormons wear garments then this is the episode for you. Kwaku talks about the importance of garments and so forth. 

Kwaku and Ian are back and today we talk about the significance of Jesus Christ and what it means for us today. For Mormons, Jesus Christ is central in all that we do. We believe that through the Savior's atonement we can be forgiven of our sins. We believe that everyone can come to know the Savior and the power of His atonement in each individual life. 

You may have heard that Mormons have lots of food storage. Water, canned food, boxed food, first aid, and boxes of Jello (okay, not really... maybe).  👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼 Well, it's true, Mormons are counseled to keep lots of food storage! While members of the LDS Church don't necessarily believe that the world is going to end tomorrow, they choose to be prepared for natural disasters and manmade disasters alike. 

The 3 Mormons are responding to your comments yet again! Every so often we will do an episode that is focused on your questions and comments. We want to thank those who have been keeping up with our show and appreciate the comments! 

Today we film with Nick Sales, Mormon musician and videographer! We had a great time talking about the Plan of Salvation, a common teaching in Mormon doctrine. We used a lot of Mormon vernacular so PLEASE read below for some additional information!

Today we talk to a member of the church who, at one point in his life, was an ex-mormon. Dusty Smith shares his story of why he left and what caused him to come back to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and be re-baptized.  Dusty Smith, a lawyer from Texas, starts the show by talking about his early days of being a member of the church. When a close friend's child passed away, he questioned God's existence. How could God just let something like that happen?  Soon, Dusty became very effective in disproving certain aspects of church history. Through his endeavors to disprove the church, he met someone who would get into very heated debates about the validity of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints with him. But the two soon became friends, despite their differences.  Through a series of events and miracles Dusty soon came to believe that the Church was true. He explains each of these miraculous events in his own words, and he also talks about the role that faith had in his conversion back to Mormonism.  Check out the episode to hear the story in Dusty's own words!
