Sam and Justin grew up in different places with different ratios of Mormons to non-Mormons (‘Mormon’ being the informal term for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Sam grew up surrounded by many members of the Church, which greatly influenced her friendships, moral standards, and gospel understanding. Justin, on the other hand, grew up as one of very few members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Such background influenced Justin’s dedication to the gospel and his ability to stand up for his beliefs.   

There are many pros and cons to growing up with and without members of the Church and in this episode, we address the ones we experience the most.
