Meet Our Authors

LDS Blogs is written by a dedicated team of volunteers who are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Our goal is to help you navigate a complicated life by learning how to get through everyday issues. Some authors will just be writing about the typical lives almost anyone has. Others will be writing more about their own faith and they will show you what the world looks like through Latter-day Saint eyes. Some posts may not seem to be focused on spiritual matters, instead reflecting the day-to-day life and struggles of people who are just like you. Our authors, regardless of topic, share the wisdom they’ve picked up from everyday life, telling us what they’ve been studying and/or thinking about. Each author offers a unique perspective on the world.

All of our writers are different and as you explore the site, you’re likely to find someone you know you’d like in real life because they think so much like you or have a perspective that helps you with the challenges and goals of your own life. If you are curious about members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, our posts will, from time to time, give you a glimpse into just what it means to live (or attempt to live!) a Christ-centered life, whether it’s a life like yours or one with a few differences.

Curious? While the site joyously welcomes all readers, regardless of faith, some topics on the site are written specifically for members of the restored church of Jesus Christ (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Take a peek and see how we talk to each other!
