In this episode we are joined by the brilliant and kind Lauren Cassidy! Lauren moved to Utah from New York just a few years ago after she converted to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). Lauren joins us to share her conversion story. Lauren grew up knowing about God and did her best to live a good life. However, she wasn't praying to God and wasn't quite sure where religion would fit into her life. During her sophomore year in college, Lauren found a Bible in her dorm and decided to read as much of. the scriptures as she could. She began searching for a community of believers where she could engage with the scriptures with likeminded people. Lauren shares her experience searching for a religion and coming across the Church of Jesus Christ.

Johnny Harris, YouTuber and independent journalist, recently made a video titled "The REAL Story of the Mormon Church." But what do active Mormons (correctly known as Latter-day Saints) think about his video? Does the video portray the real story of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints or are there incorrect portrayals of the history of the Mormon Church? Was Joseph Smith a fraud? Are the origins of the Book of Mormon a complete hoax? In this episode, David Snell watches the video by ex-Mormon Johnny Harris and responses as a faithful Latter-day Saint.

Everyone who has served a mission has a crazy story about their mission. Well, we recently came across an article that claimed to have some of the craziest mission stories ever! We wanted to put the stories to the test to see if they really were as crazy as they claimed to be. We’d love to know what you think about these mission stories :) Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints are accustomed to seeing 19 and 20 year old men and women leave to different parts of the world to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ. During one’s mission, many beautiful and challenging experiences occur— some having to do with theology, some being totally secular. In this episode, we share hilarious stories on the more secular side of the spectrum. Check out Third Hour for more stories like these!

Levi shares his story of growing up with lots of exposure to religion. He realized in high school that based on his life trajectory, he wouldn’t make it past 21 years of age. He decided it was time to look into religion because he became concerned about the afterlife. One night, Levi asked God to send religion to him. The next morning he heard a knock on the door. He began talking with the Jehovah Witnesses for 6 months but became frustrated. Due to some unfortunate experiences, Levi decided to quit his search of religion. His mom, however, had different plans. Watch the video to hear how Levi’s life dramatically changed!

Have you seen the latest photo of Joseph Smith?! If so, you probably have a lot of questions (as did we!). We brought Curtis Weber to the show to talk about his extensive research on the subject and his research is fascinating! Thanks so much for joining us, Curtis!

Today we are joined by Tyler Gordon, one of the kindest people we have had on the show. We chatted with Tyler before this episode about his experiences and the spirit he brought with him was powerful and humble. We are so grateful for his vulnerability in sharing his story! Tyler grew up in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He served a mission faithfully and “checked the boxes.” Upon his return home, he was quickly exposed to anti-Mormon content and quickly lost his faith as he dove deeper and deeper into the claims made against his faith. He decided to remove his records and distance himself from the church. Tyler then saw the missionaries outside and asked them for their help in carrying his groceries. He never would have expected what would come next!

Have you ever heard of Pioneer Day, an official holiday in Utah? Many Utahans celebrate the day that Mormon pioneers arrived in Utah before Utah was settled. Many pioneers died on the trek across the plains, though many miracles took place on their journey to Utah. In this episode, we take a quiz to test our knowledge about the Mormon pioneers!

Elizabeth joins us today to share her remarkable story of faith, conversion, excommunication, and regaining her faith. If you watch any Saints Unscripted episode, this is the one to watch!! Elizabeth powerfully shares how she grew up in unfavorable circumstances but remained strong in the faith. Unfortunately, poor relationships and temptations grew and grew until she found herself about to lose her membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (otherwise known as the Mormon Church). Elizabeth didn’t think she’s be excommunicated (now called “withdrawal of membership) until she was. Her bishop said some profound words that impacted her forever. Listen as she shares her journey coming back to the faith!!

We recently had the privilege of hearing Kahlen's story of faith and forgiveness. Today we share his story with you and know you'll find strength from his words!

He joined the church with help from his friend but quickly left after joining. He joined the Marines and experienced many mental health challenges. He talks about a particular event in which he wasn't sure if he should keep suffering. Through the grace of God he found his way back to the church --- and it doesn't stop there!
