NOM

The problem with readily available material out there and more and more faith crisis happening on a daily basis they had to combine because young people are leaving and they don't have anyone to be in presidencies. It shows the true state of things for sure!

Wow...just to have discussions like that. Amazing. Do you think you will go back? Are you tied to the church in some way that you need to be there in your ward? If if find a place like you visited today..it is everything. I am a spiritual person..and yet so long for communication that is sharing .....

Did you grow up in an area where LDS is a minority sect and evangelical christianity is popular? IE southern US or Midwest?

No, I actually grew up in Idaho in the so-called "bubble" LDS was the majority around me. Being Evangelical is equivalent to social suicide around these parts lol.

Welcome! Your background and expected future is definitely interesting for the NOM board. May I ask, what has kept you anchored in Jesus through your up's and down's?

I'm sorry to hear about this if you ever need to just chat you can PM me. I know its hard but don't blame yourself. I actually worked in a behavioral health unit for a while. I saw a lot of this. Make sure to take care of yourself during this time if you need to take a mental health day please do. L...

I agree about needing more background info about your time as an evangelical leader and having TBM parents and in-laws. Were they also evangelical at one time and everybody converted LDS? No, they have been LDS forever. My first foray out of the doctrine was seeing spiritual people who weren't LDS ...

We are glad you are here. But surely there must be a story behind being a worship leader in an evangelical church. This is both fascinating not a Sunday activity we normally expect to hear with someone who is also in an EQ presidency. What church were you raised in? Are you a convert? Hi Corsair, I...

Hi, I am a former EQP 2nd counselor who was a former worship leader in an evangelical church as well. I have always had a love/hate relationship with the church. This most recent episode was brought on by going to a Christian music concert. I realized I felt the spirit stronger there than I had in t...
