No, I’m Not Trying to Convert You…

You know when you love something SO MUCH that you want to share it with everyone? You know how religion is one of the most debated topics in history? Well what do you do when you want to share your religion with your friends but don’t want to lose your friendship with them since religion is such a controversial topic?   This is a VERY common concern among members of the Church. [Fun fact: When we say “Church,” we are referring to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, otherwise known as the Mormon Church or LDS Church. While we are called Mormons, the term is simply a nickname and isn’t representative of the official name of our Church.]   Members of the Church who love the gospel likely love their friends who aren’t members of the Church and will always love them… but also want to share their joy with their friends. So how do they invite their friends to Church without being too overbearing? In this episode, Kwaku, Mimi, and David talk about how to ask your friends to Church and how to avoid being too overbearing. You shouldn’t feel bad about sharing the gospel with your friends if your intentions are pure and are for their happiness — not to convert them but rather to help them learn more about what brings you so much peace and happiness.
