A Mormon Woman's Reflections on Life and the Gospel of Jesus Christ

Glenn has shared his conversion story to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (sometimes innocently but erroneously called “The Mormon Church”). This YouTube clip gives a portion of his story.

I just shared the DVD of Glenn’s story with my two daughters, and found it powerful. He is real; he went from an abyss to a place of light he never knew possible. He went from poverty of perspective and place to a rich peace and powerful vision.

I’ve met Glenn, and sat with him in his studio, had lunch with him professionally in an NYC restaurant. I’ve heard him talk, watched him ask for tap water, talk about his passion for the gospel of Jesus Christ, his desires to do justice to the message he knows is true while on the air and while off the air. He is a good man unabashed and inspiring, and Tania is an amazing tower of light and strength as well.

Hope you enjoy hearing from Glenn on this video. To learn more about Mormonism, visit mormon.org or moregoodfoundation.org (Our Sites).

Are Mormons Better Christians

Recently, an LDS woman who regularly shares her Mormon beliefs online, was commended for her Christian example. LDSNana, as Kathryn Skaggs calls herself, influenced Tim Wade in a profound way about the nature of Mormons and the characteristics that embody those who are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (often innocently but mistakenly called “The Mormon Church”).

Here is Tim’s commentary on his changed perceptions of Mormonism through the example of one.

If you had asked me ten years ago if I thought members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints were Christians, without hesitation I would have told you NO! But that was before I met Kathryn Skaggs, and today I am not so convinced. (more…)

Debate teams representing the 300 students at Patrick Henry College have won the Moot Court national debate crown twice in the school’s eight-year existence, and they’ve defeated debating bastion Oxford twice, including once in England using UK laws, but now they’re reaching higher.

 

They are hoping that real life will imitate their art.

 

Combining with Advent Film Group, the Virginia evangelical school’s debaters are featured in a new film presenting arguments that one day could be used to overturn the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision that found a right to abortion in the U.S. Constitution.

 

“Come What May,” which already has been shown to packed houses in Grants Pass, Ore., and Harrisonburg, Va., is available now on DVD.

 

In the movie, Caleb, a Christian student attending Patrick Henry, is caught in a moral tug-of-war as he challenges Roe v. Wade at the National Moot Court Championship. At the same time, the character’s mother, a feminist attorney, argues the case at the U.S. Supreme Court, but on the opposing side.

 

The microbudget project – essentially created with a volunteer team of students advised by a handful of movie professionals – already has had half a dozen offers for distribution, according to George Escobar of Advent Film Group.

 

“Our intention is that people see the compelling arguments for overturning Roe v. Wade if there are the right Supreme Court justices on the bench,” he said.

A message for my friends at Christmas time.

Several years ago, while pondering the birth of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, I discovered a few fitting details about the rigorous, devoted lives of ancient shepherds. I regret that I can no longer find their source. Perhaps one of you will recognize the passages and inform me of their origin. As I pondered those details in light of the account of the Savior’s birth, a message divinely intended for parents seemed to illuminate itself. I share it with you in all its tender simplicity. It speaks to Jesus’ awareness of each of us. And I wish you a Merry Christmas.

Imagine the life of a shepherd two thousand years ago, tending his flocks at night—a harsh and lonely life framed on the fringes of cultivated land.

Generally of modest means, shepherds either owned a small flock or were hired to work for someone else. Thieves and natural predators like wolves, lions, and hyenas in the wild, presented a real and constant danger to their livelihood. (more…)
