Honest, down-to-earth discussions about difficult topics—all while attempting to use logic, love, and the lens of the Doctrine of Jesus Christ and His Church. Too often, we dance around subjects that are uncomfortable, fall into ruts when discussing complex issues, or avoid talking about them altogether. Let’s break down all of these barriers by honestly chatting together, all while turning to Christ and His doctrine.

    Abortion: Forming a Doctrinal, Scientific, and Philosophical Perspective

    Some say Christians have to be pro-life all the way. Others say Christianity requires them to be pro-choice. Today, we go through building a perspective about abortion that is both based in the doctrine of Christ (according to His Restored Gospel and Church) and scientifically and philosophically sound. Focus on the Family: https://www.focusonthefamily.com/pro-life/abortion-complications/ What is your perspective on abortion? How did you come to that perspective?

    PLEASE don’t call us Mormons!—even if you are one. Today, we chat about why my favorite of recent “big changes” in the Church is NOT 2-hour church. We get into coming closer to Christ, particularly through how we speak of Him and His Church. .
