How can you really know what is true? I had been taught by church leaders and my parents that you can know truth if you have a warm feeling in your chest or a feeling of peace, or goose bumps on your arms, or thoughts come to your mind. I was taught that the key to truth was my feelings. But here is the problem. There is only o...

7 Thoughts On Faith. Seven questions I asked myself about my Mormon faith. January 9, 2015. January 14, 2015. Why do I share this journey and the questions I have asked myself? Maybe its because I am narcissistic and love to hear myself speak (or write). I hope that isn’t the reason. I would like to think that it is because, these are the kind of words I would have loved to have read when I was going through my own journey of faith and awakening 5 years ago. You are not alone.

Seeking truth is an admirable goal. Finding truth can be elusive. If it were really that easy, there wouldn’t be thousands of religions and a myriad of competing political and business opinions thrashing around the world today. Truth can be elusive. Because truth does exist. It exists independent of you and me. So we...

7 Thoughts On Faith. Seven questions I asked myself about my Mormon faith. Question 2 – Is it okay to ask a question or have a doubt? January 9, 2015. January 11, 2015. Recently the leaders of the church have taught us that it is okay to doubt. It is okay to ask questions. However, this feels dramatically different than my personal experiences in church for decades.

7 Thoughts On Faith. Seven questions I asked myself about my Mormon faith. Question #1 – What do I mean when I say I know something is true? January 9, 2015. January 27, 2015. I know what I used to mean, when I said I know [insert truth claim] is true. I meant that I had been taught a principle or a doctrine and I had prayed about it. And at some point in time I had a spiritual feeling that what I was hearing or thinking about was right (i.e., true). No feeling of peace. No burning in my chest. At that t...
