There’s so many misconceptions that I’ve seen on X about the Book of Mormon. What really is the message of the Book of Mormon? It is the Doctrine of Christ. Reconcile yourself to Christ, enter into His narrow gate, and walk the straight path to Him (2 Nephi 33:9) #LDSx

In the April General Conference, I had not yet been rebaptized. I was preparing and so the messages were really moving, especially Elder Kearon’s speech and how God is in relentless pursuit of you. I get to enjoy this General Conference as a baptized member, working towards the

I would like all of you to know that as someone who left the LDS church in 2018 and officially withdrew my name in 2020, I was an active ex-Mormon. And as an ex member of the church, I would like to bear my testimony that the church is true, and you’ll be much happier getting

I would like all of you to know that as someone who attends the LDS church at least once a quarter, I am an active member of the church. And as an active member of the church, I would like to bear my testimony that the church isn’t true, and you’ll be much happier out of it 😉

My fellow Christians, there’s so many more stories and words of God that you’re missing out on by rejecting the Book of Mormon. I’m deeply encouraged by the courage of Samuel the Lamanite, the bravery of Nephi, andthe leadership of Moroni. I’m in awe of the love that Helaman has

I can relate so much to this guy. There is peace and happiness in Christ. You can see the difference, he seemed so empty before. After he returned, you can tell by his eyes and smile that the spirit was with him. I’ve had this same experience. #lds #ThinkCelestial

Really loving this talk by Elder Kearon. The church truly is the church of joy. My life had taken a dark turn when I removed my name. I was filled with a hatred of religion and I was so arrogant and prideful. Being yoked again to Christ’s church has taught me the definition of a

Since I returned to the church I’ve been talking about this joy that Christ offers vs the “happiness” of the world… now, Elder Uchtdorf is speaking on this very thing. Very eloquently, I might add. I can testify that the world offers temporary pleasure, but only last joy comes

I’m working on reading through the Book of Mormon again and I was struck by this verse. I’m reading it in a new light now that I’ve returned to the church after having my name removed from the rolls. Alma the younger’s testimony is so relatable now. “My soul hath been redeemed

It seems foolish for a shepherd to leave 99 sheep to find 1… until you’re that 1. I’m so thankful to be back in the fold. Thanks to everyone for reaching out and encouraging me as I’ve made my return. Let’s heed the prophet’s words and invite all to come back to Christ and His

I am soon approaching my 100th birthday. One of the places where the Savior used the number 100 in the scriptures was the parable of the lost sheep. Though 99 of his flock were safely by his side, the shepherd went in search of the 1 who was lost. At age 99, I have no need of
