The Christmas Truce of 1914 happened during World War I along the Western Front, when British and German soldiers paused fighting on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. What began with simple gestures—singing carols, shouting holiday greetings across trenches, and placing candles on trees—turned into something remarkable as troops cautiously came out into “no man’s land.” Instead of bullets, they shared food, exchanged small gifts, showed pictures of family, and even played friendly soccer matches. They also used the moment to bury their dead with dignity and mourn together. It wasn’t ordered by generals or governments; it was an act of simple human decency from ordinary soldiers tired of violence. Though the war soon resumed and such truces were discouraged afterward, the event stands as a powerful reminder that even in the darkest times, people can choose peace, compassion, and brotherhood.

Have you been called to a proselyting mission and been reassigned to a service mission? Have you had to come home early because of complications you didn't expect. Have you had a son or daughter experience this?

For Elder Dalton Howell, an unexpected turn in serving The Lord would not deter him from continuing his service as a missionary of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.

We sit down with Elder Howell and discuss the trials of having to come home from his mission due to medical conditions but still choosing to serve.

Elder Howell talks about his decision to serve, preparing for his call, receiving the call, leaving, and then being reassigned to his home ward.

He is grateful for close friends and cousins that have helped him find the positive in the situation and understanding that even though it's not what he wanted, he is still serving.

In this episode of Saints in the South, we welcome a special guest — a devoted Southern Baptist — to join us for an open and genuine discussion about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the Mormon faith, doctrine, and beliefs. This conversation opens the door for mutual understanding, honest dialogue, and unity among followers of Jesus Christ.

Together, we explore thought-provoking questions such as:

Are Mormons Christian?

Do Mormons still practice polygamy?

What is heaven, and what are the three degrees of glory?

What is baptism for the dead?

Once saved, are you always saved?
...and more!

Our goal isn’t to debate, but to build bridges of faith — to discuss both our common beliefs and meaningful differences with love, respect, and open hearts. We believe that through understanding and conversation, all Christians can come together under the banner of Jesus Christ for a greater good.

🎙️ Join the conversation, strengthen your faith, and keep on striving!

In this episode, Jackson and Kenny talk with published author, respiratory therapist, father, and Latter-day Saint, Jeff Borders! We discuss his book, "The Antichrist Playbook"... Do you have children or young adults? If so, you NEED this book! Jeff breaks down the methods that the various 'antichrists' in the Book of Mormon used to lead people away from the Savior, and how Satan uses these same strategies in the world today to lead people away from the truth of God.

Alex O’Connor, known to many as a sharp and thoughtful voice in modern religious discussion, takes an unexpected and intriguing turn as he dives deep into the beliefs, history, and theology of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In this episode, we discuss the how Alex not only defends Mormon teachings from common misconceptions but also engages with Christians in open, respectful dialogue about what the intriguing Latter-day Saint faith and history of the mormon religion. From the early foundations of Joseph Smith to the modern-day church, Alex’s curiosity and sincerity invite viewers to think beyond labels and explore the spiritual truths that unite believers more than they divide them.

Is it possible that he converts to Christianity through the mormon religion. Not only is it possible, I believe it will happen one day!!

"Uncle Andrew" is back! From Come Follow Me:
"As difficult as the last six years had been for the Saints, things started to look up in the spring of 1839: The refugee Saints had found compassion among the citizens of Quincy, Illinois. Guards had allowed the Prophet Joseph Smith and other Church leaders to escape captivity in Missouri. And the Church had just purchased land in Illinois where the Saints could gather again. Yes, it was swampy, mosquito-infested land, but compared to the challenges the Saints had already faced, this probably seemed manageable. So they drained the swamp and drafted a charter for a new city, which they named Nauvoo. It means “beautiful” in Hebrew, though it was more an expression of faith than an accurate description, at least at first. Meanwhile, the Lord was impressing His Prophet with a sense of urgency. He had more truths and ordinances to restore, and He needed a holy temple where the Saints could receive them. In many ways, these same feelings of faith and urgency are important in the Lord’s work today.
While Nauvoo did become a beautiful city with a beautiful temple, both were eventually abandoned. But the Lord’s truly beautiful work, all along, has been to “crown you with honor, immortality, and eternal life” (Doctrine and Covenants 124:55), and that work never ends."
