As someone who's been through that same process, I'd like to add one note: we hear all the time in general conference that NOW is the time to repent. Seriously, take advantage of it! If you're in need of repentance, the process takes time and it's tough.... but SO very worth it! Get it started now; don't procrastinate!

This made me tear up. Just picturing you sitting in the temple waiting room as you waited to have your blessings restored really touched me. It inspires me to see what more I can do to have a sacred temple experience and what I can do better to follow Christ. Thank you for sharing your story. I’m sure you will bless the lives of so many.

Tyler's testimony is so powerful! I have known people who took 5 years to get full blessings. Their testimonies became very strong and so grateful for the Atonement of Jesus Christ . Thanks for this interview!

I’m glad to hear this cause I see all these anti-Mormon sites of people claiming to be ex Mormons that left the church because they saw how it really was half these people be lying but anyway I’m glad he’s a story to prove that the gospel is true. The book of Mormon is true.god bless u

Hi desmondray2516,Thank you for sharing your thoughts and your faith. As a Christian, I believe in the importance of respectful dialogue about our beliefs. I hold the teachings of the Bible close to my heart, specifically the words of Jesus Christ in the King James Bible.1 John 4:1 says, "Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world." I believe it's important to seek the truth with a sincere heart.

I have recommended to several KZfaq channels to do an episode on this process because those returning to the church say it is hard to find the path back. ❤

Tyler is an inspiration to me. I love his integrity and zeal. This was an important message for those who are considering coming back after they leave the Church. Great episode, thank you.

Love this! Thanks for sharing your experience. I know I sometimes take my covenants for granted and your story helps me remember how sacred and cherished they really are to me.

Wonderful video, thank you On a separate note and out of rabid curiousity... Why do you guys have a picture of Marty McFly and Doc from Back to the Future Part III in the back ground?

@vanmatlock 10 күн бұрын

Kudos to you for the wonderful catch. But I think the real question is for other shows: Why don’t you have a Marty and Doc photo in the background?!

There is so a place for everyone in the church to come back just contact the bishop or missionaries or even a member to help you through it once you start Jesus will hold your hand did He not leave the 99 and 9 and go and search for the one lost sheep this life is only a speck in time compared to the eternitys dont put it off this life is the time to prepare to meet God

@darlenemartim9972 19 күн бұрын

Wonderful. Don’t understand why you thought you couldn’t repent and get blessings again. Other Christian’s don’t feel that way, they believe in the cross quite literal Maybe it was Satan whispering you couldn’t

It’s not a conversion story so much as a come back story..? I suppose you could argue “potayto/potahto” 🤷‍♀️

If you have desires to serve, you’re called to the work (see D&C 3:4). “Come on dear Brother [or Sister] since the war is past, For friends at first are friends … at last.”

Here's a suggestion for a video: Why aren't more members of the Church vegetarians or vegans?

@SaintsUnscripted Ай бұрын

Interesting! I’ll propose that to the hosts.

@@SaintsUnscripted Thanks. I'm not a vegetarian or vegan myself, but I've thought about it. I ultimately decided not to, but I could in the future.

@@SaintsUnscripted At any rate, as someone who's been a member of the Church my entire life, I'm a big fan of what y'all do.

@gwengold8154 Ай бұрын

Maybe because they have read D&C 49:18 It says that anyone who preaches that you should abstain from meat is not of God. 1 Timothy 4 has a similar message. God has given us meat when we require it. However, D&C 49:21 makes it clear that no animals blood should be wasted. If you don't need the animal for food, it shouldn't be killed. I think that it's okay to lean towards a mostly vegetarian lifestyle, but anyone preaching entirely against meat eating ( like the Shakers) is not of God.

@joncharlotteschoen Ай бұрын

I would say 99.9% of people do not "kill their own food". So how do we reconcile such a statement? And what exactly does it mean to eat meat sparingly? Supposedly there was a reason for this back in the 1800s, but I truly don't see how it makes sense now or how to apply it in any practical manner. Other than... Clearly eating meat every single day isn't healthy. Beyond that, who knows? @@gwengold8154
