In this episode, we talk all about GARMENTS! In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, members who have made temple covenants with God are told to wear ‘garments’ or a special undergarment that goes below the clothing (for pictures of garments and more explanation, check out this video made by the Church: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bMutZ...).   

Justin and Samantha talk about when they choose to wear the temple garment, what we should do when someone chooses not to wear the temple garment, and the purpose of temple garments, We also address YOUR thoughts from our Instagram page to temple garments (follow us on Instagram so you can be part of the conversation!).

In this episode, Taylor and Justin talk about their experience during the COVID-19 quarantine. The current pandemic has caused a lot of changes in "normal" worship for many, many religions. In the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church), the standard worship occurs every Sunday in-person for 2 hours. But, due to the pandemic, Sunday worship is done in each individual's own home. That said, Taylor and Justin have some strong opinions as to how the "at home church" is going for them!! ALSO, you get to FINALLY SEE and HEAR FROM Jake, a Saints Unscripted videographer!! WHOOP!!

When a loved one leaves the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, family members react in a variety of ways. There have been absolutely horrible stories about the ways in which friends and family have reacted to someone leaving the Church, of which we do not condone. Taylor and Sam discuss why Mormons react the way they do and how they can better react to their loved ones leaving the Church.   

Sam says that “the church does not have a monopoly on goodness and inspiration.” Certainly not! So many people from so many walks of life have goodness, truth, light, and inspiration. To claim that we are the only ones to possess such traits would be ludicrous. If you hear a member of the Church make such a claim, they aren’t speaking on behalf of the Church but just on behalf of themselves.   

If you have left the Church, know that we still love you, God still loves you, and we’re here for you. If you are struggling with a loved one who has left the Church, we understand and pray that there will be love on both ends of the relationship.

For this episode, we're back on Zoom (don't worry, we'll be back on set next time) and we're with Mimi and Justin! With all of the differences in opinion online, lots of friendships have been lost, lots of anger has been expressed, and lots of love has been lost. Social media can be fabulous but during this time of unrest, there is definitely lots of anger that we need to confront. How do we love in a world filled with hate?   

Mimi and Justin talk about how we need to ask people how they want to be loved rather than just assuming that everyone feels love in the same way. Maybe the way you feel love is by engaging in high-level political discussion... but maybe for your best friend, such 'love' doesn't mean love at all. Another thing to consider is that, while it is difficult to know how to help others, we can pray for guidance, so long as we are wanting what God wants-- to love purely and without an agenda.

Today Taylor vlogs with his wife, Amy, and their cute baby, Charlie! Whether you're new to parenting, wanting to be a parent, or have been a long-time parent, this episode is for you (okay, and if you love seeing cute babies because Charlie is the ultimate charmer). Taylor and Amy talk about the process of becoming parents, what they've learned, and when they believe is the best time to have a baby. Amy talks about the spiritual experiences she has had in her decision to become a mom and how she felt so strongly that she was meant to be a mom.

Taylor and Justin have been filming as hosts Saints Unscripted together for awhile yet haven’t ever really “broken the ice.” Since we’re now filming with just the two of them (until the quarantine ends), we decided it’s time for them to really get to know each other by playing “This or That,” arguably the best get-to-know you game on YouTube! 😂

It’s rare that we have a guest on the channel that isn’t a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints… but we LOVE having guests of any background so we were stoked to get to have Kyle on the show to talk about his experiences! Kyle grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ (also known as the Mormon Church) but left the Church in his late teens. He talks about his experience leaving the Church and what he has learned from the experience.   

We recently released a video about how to treat people who have left the Church (here: https://youtu.be/_9-G6fAI10M) but quickly realized that it would be best to actually speak with an ex-Mormon so we weren’t speaking on their behalf. Kyle came up at just the right time and we think this conversation is absolutely vital to learning how to treat all people with respect, love, and understanding.

In this episode, we talk all about Halloween and answer questions like, why do we, as members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes referred to as Mormons) celebrate Halloween especially when we know its roots come from paganism?  

Mimi points out examples of other holidays with pagan roots, Kwaku rants about candy companies (while secretly being one of their most loyal customers), and  our ghost buddy, Justin, tells us about the "Mummy Dogs" his mother made for Halloween when he was a kid.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN! (Okay, maybe you're watching this after Halloween... in which case, happy whatever day it is!)   

Today on 3 Mormons, we talk about whether or not members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as Mormons or LDS) believe in ghosts.   

Kwaku, Justin, and David all share the experiences they've had with ghosts. Kwaku emphasizes the importance of staying close to Jesus Christ.   Mimi says that she hasn't had an experience with a ghost but speaks about the importance of ministering angels who are helping us on this earth. She reads a quote about the spirit world being here on this earth and that we can experience the positive influence of our ancestors who have gone on.

Taylor and Amy are back from their home (okay, from baby Charlie’s room) to vlog about having a BABY!! In this episode, they share all the tips to being new parents and taking care of a baby. They talk about both pregnancy and postpartum, as well as Amy’s experience with postpartum depression (which began a little bit before the baby was born).   

Both Amy and Taylor agree that one of the most important things you can do is cut yourself some slack (and your partner as well). Having a baby is tough! And the difficulty doesn’t end with the baby entering the world… there is a lot of adjusting that is so unique and challenging to becoming parents — but also immensely rewarding (just look at cute baby Charlie if you’re curious ;)).
