His journey through spirituality, God, and religion became a lifelong pursuit of discovery, reflection, and truth.Over the years, he found that studying these subjects deeply enriched his life and expanded his understanding of light, truth, and human nature.In this powerful personal reflection, Chris encourages others to leave no stone unturned in their own search for truth.According to Chris, truth is never afraid of investigation. It can be examined from every angle and still remain true. Falsehood, on the other hand, often avoids scrutiny and begins to unravel under careful examination.He shares thoughts on:• Why truth withstands criticism and debate• How false beliefs often depend on fear, tradition, or social pressure• The relationship between knowledge and discernment• Why truth must align with reality and consistencyOriginal video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj9uLK-Z1MM&list=WL&index=11&t=1217sTo continue reading Chris’s full thoughts and experiences:https://wasmormon.org/profile/chrisj/Please consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
