Is it logical to believe in God? Can one really be logical and spiritual at the same time or are the two mutually exclusive? In this episode, Wyatt joins us to share his jaw-dropping story of growing up in a small town, being baptized seemingly unknowingly, experiencing drugs and alcohol in his early teenage years, suicidal thoughts and near-actions, going through every piece of material contrary to the church, and finally joining the church, employing logic and spirituality. If you have ever questioned God's existence, this episode will help you in your journey to learning more about Him.

Vaccines have been a BIG topic of conversation lately (particularly the COVID-19 vaccine) and many have wondered what members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints believe about vaccines, blood transfusions, and organ donation. Can Mormons donate blood? Can Mormons be organ donors? Do Mormons get vaccinated? In this episode, we talk about the beliefs of LDS when it comes to vaccines, blood transfusions, and organ donation. We share thoughts from LDS leaders and give our opinions. See why David thinks Taylor should just donate blood already by watching the video ;)

In this episode, Leo talks about how to reconstruct your faith after it is deconstructed. Going through a deconstruction of faith (or a breaking down of certain things you thought you believed) is very, very difficult. But it is certainly possible (and a valuable experience) to learn how to reconstruct your faith! Leo breaks down how reconstruction looks and how to navigate the reconstruction phase.

In this episode, we give our advice when it comes to receiving your endowment, making covenants with God, and how to best remember the covenants you have made. What we say in this episode is mostly our opinions but we'd love to read yours! 

Joseph’s story is probably the most unique conversion story we’ve had on Saints Unscripted (but we’ll let you be the judge of that!). Joseph tells his conversion story of joining the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church) from his previous and well-studied faith in witchcraft. He talks about the transition from his previous faith to the LDS church (spoiler alert: it wasn’t easy!) and how he navigated the years following his conversion. You don’t want to miss this story!

Recently, there has been a lot of talk in the media about LDS garments (sometimes referred to as “Mormon underwear” or “magic Mormon underwear”). The recent focus comes mostly from members of the Church of Jesus Christ but also from non-members of the LDS Church. Many members have opinions about the frequency in which one should wear the temple garment, the material of a temple garment, and more. This episode addresses the host’s opinions about the garment. Should the garment be worn all the time? Is the garment magic? Should the garment be removed for specific activities?

Andrew’s story is nothing short of REMARKABLE and we’re so honored he shared his words with us on Saints Unscripted! Andrew grew up with a few different faith backgrounds and eventually doubted the existence of God. He was at a place of despair and just needed to know if God was there. Not only that but Andrew wanted to truly know God— he wanted to void in his life to finally be filled.   You’ll never believe how Andrew ended up meeting the missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and learning about the restored gospel!

We've done plenty of "Responding to Comments" episodes but have never done an episode where we strictly answer your questions (either from direct message on Instagram, Facebook, or questions in the YouTube comments). We LOVE hearing from you and reading your comments!! In this episode, we answer questions about when to get baptized, what to do if you're doubting your faith, if we think you should go to college, etc. The answers are all strictly the opinions of the hosts but we think they are prettyyyy solid words of advice :)
