Wyatt is BACK! And we are stoked to hear about him and his take on finding the truthfulness of the gospel of Jesus Christ as found in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church). Wyatt has studied long and hard about the LDS Church, as he was raised without the teachings of the gospel in his life.

In all of our hundreds and hundreds of episodes, we have never had the privilege of interviewing mission presidents. So today is a spectacular day where we get to sit down with President and Sister Leimer, former mission presidents of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.   Mission presidents typically serve for a period of 3 years anywhere around the world that they are assigned. They receive a call from LDS Church Headquarters and then can accept or deny the call to dedicate 3 years of their life serving the Lord and helping LDS missionaries accomplish the work of the Lord. You will love this interview with two spectacular missionaries! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

We are stoked to have Wyatt back on the show! If you haven’t watched his conversion story, watch it then come back to this one:)    Wyatt’s Conversion: https://youtu.be/VF19o2xcWt4  In this episode, Wyatt shares his story of leaving on his mission for the Church of Jesus Christ (otherwise known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church), coming home early due to severe anxiety, and discovering his true mission. He received a beautiful confirmation from God in the most simple way. You are going to have to watch it to find out what that confirmation was!  Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

First of all, we want to introduce Sabrina! Sabrina might be a new face on our YouTube channel but she's not new to Saints Unscripted. In fact, chances are high that if you messaged us on Instagram, you were talking to Sabrina :) Also, you might recognize her from a few stories and Reels from our Instagram account. You are going to LOVE hearing from her on this channel!    Today we are talking all about judgment. Is judging people okay? Am I judging people too frequently? What can I do to withhold judgment and judge righteously? We talk about all this and more in this episode!

We're back with Leif for part three of his three-part conversion story! Leif grew up in Utah around many members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). Unfortunately, he experienced quite a bit of bullying from the community and didn't explore the doctrine of the LDS Church until later in his life. You will LOVE THIS episode!  Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

Leif talks about how, after growing up around members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons), he decided to pray for the first time to see what he should do in regards to his religious practices. He received an overwhelming feeling of love and happiness but the answer might not be what you expect! Watch the episode to hear what he learned!

We are sooooo grateful for the opportunity to hear Leif’s story in-person! Leif sent us his full conversion story many months ago and we were so intrigued. His full story is heartbreaking, breathtaking, exciting, and hopeful. But in this part (part one of three), it has some painful bullying events that should never happen to anyone. We were shocked and disappointed in the characters in the story but the ending is so sweet (stay tuned for part three). You’ll have to watch all three parts!!

Today we have the privilege of chatting with our new Instagram friends, "Why We Stay" :) Grace, TJ, and Talon started their Instagram account only recently and have done phenomenally! They decided to start the account after hearing so many stories of people leaving the church. They wanted to speak up about why they choose to stay as active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons). Their stories are remarkable and best of all, TJ shares a surprise at the end that you don't want to miss!! Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

Today we are talking about the different branches of Mormonism. While the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is formally called such, it is often referred to as Mormonism. We ask to be called by the proper name, though we know that we've long been known as Mormons. Our religion started with Joseph Smith but then many different sects broke off from the original church (many claiming to be the original church). We certainly believe in freedom of religion, including different sects of Mormonism, but we also don't support all the different beliefs found within the different sects of Mormonism.

We're STOKED to have Tommy Johnson join us on the show today! The second we saw Tommy's viral Instagram videos, we knew we had to meet him and get to know his story.   Tommy is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). He is is supportive and sympathetic to the many different faith journeys that people go through, whether they remain active members of the church or not. With humor and compassion, he addresses the nuances that often occur in the church, as you'll see on his Instagram account.

It's finally GENERAL CONFERENCE SEASON!! Okay, the semi-annual General Conference actually happened last weekend... but it's so important to reflect on, no matter how much time has passed :) In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), leaders address the entire world from the Conference Center in Salt Lake City, Utah. The talks (sermons) are transmitted via internet and can be viewed on YouTube or the LDS Church website. Today we are recapping our thoughts on the October 2021 General Conference of the Church of Jesus Christ. If you haven't listened to the talks already, check them out online!

We are SO EXCITED to be reunited with Mimi! Mimi was a host for Saints Unscripted and was such a blessing to have on the show. We were stoked when we learned that she was back in Utah and available to film about her experience being on set of the Book of Mormon shows being filmed this last summer. Her experiences are remarkable and beautiful and you will LOVE this episode. The Book of Mormon videos have been in production for a few years now and many have already been released. If you haven't watched them, check them out on the LDS Church website.  Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

If you've been with Saints Unscripted for awhile, you've seen some episodes on our channel about the topic of sabbath day observance in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). Members of the LDS Church usually treat Sundays as a day dedicated to the Lord -- that it's not like a normal day. But every member of the church treats the sabbath day a little bit different.  Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

Whether you are a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or have been to the LDS church a time or two, you very likely have noticed that members often repeat the same phrases in their prayers— many of which have been around for a longgggg time!! Today we talk about some common phrases you’ll hear about and discuss how we can better our prayers day-to-day to truly communicate with God. We, as faithful members of the LDS Church (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) LOVE hearing the prayers of those in other faiths because it helps us to focus more on how we communicate with God intentionally.  Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

Today we talk to The King and Queen of Country Swing! It was SO FUN to get to know Shalee and Grant and learn from their experience sharing the gospel (and their love for dance) on social media. Shalee and Grant use their Instagram page to showcase their latest stunts and they are SO GOOD. But one extra unique thing about Grant and Shalee is their natural ability to fearlessly share the gospel, despite the critiques they might receive. Sometimes it can be scary but these two thrive!  Don't forget to subscribe to our YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/saintsunscripted

In this episode, we get to chat with Stephen Fleming, a well-known historian of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a bishop in California. Today Stephen shares a story that you veryyyyy likely have NEVER HEARD from the history of the LDS Church (otherwise known as the Mormon Church).   Speaking of LDS history, we (as a church) focus on some key locations where the church grew but we rarely talk about the more remote places where the church also existed and thrived. Today, Stephen talks about the history of the church in those lesser-spoken-of places, such as New Jersey and Delaware. And the stories he shares are FASCINATING!!

Kaitlyn's baby is coming SO SOON and we are STOKED! While we are very excited for Kaitlyn to be a mom, we're almost as excited to find out what the baby will be named ;) If you know much about Utah or members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons), you probably know about the wild names that parents in these groups name their children. While it's not the case that everyone has unique names, many do. And today, we're going to read the top baby names in Idaho and NAME KAITLYN'S BABY!
