I visited Saint John’s Anglican Church (ACNA) to experience my first ever Ash Wednesday service.

The service followed the Book of Common Prayer and felt structured, reverent, and deeply meaningful. The contrast between “remember that you are dust” and the Eucharist as the “medicine of immortality” really stood out to me. I especially appreciated the focus on Christ’s presence in Communion.

I was joined by Seventh-day Adventist pastor Jamey Houghton from the YouTube channel @8thirty2 for an open, respectful conversation about Seventh-day Adventist beliefs and how they fit within the broader Christian landscape.

We discussed topics such as:

• The historical origins of Seventh-day Adventism
• How Adventists understand their relationship to other Christian traditions
• The Sabbath: why Saturday, and how SDAs interpret key biblical passages
• Ellen G. White: her role, authority, and common misunderstandings
• Distinctive Adventist beliefs

I visited the West Jordan Seventh-day Adventist Church to experience a Saturday Sabbath service.

From warm “Happy Sabbath” greetings to Scripture-rich teaching, heartfelt prayer, hymns, and a strong emphasis on grace through Christ, it was wonderful to join these amazing people in worship.

In this video, I explore when Latter-day Saints should and shouldn’t use the term “Trinitarian” to describe their beliefs. I explain why using “Trinity” casually can create confusion and how being thoughtful about language can lead to clearer, more productive conversations with other Christians.

Hi, I'm Sam. I'm interesting in exploring theology and philosophy. As a Latter-day Saint, I'm interested in learning more about my own faith tradition, as well as comparing and constrasting other perspectives.
