So thankful for Brother Burgess Owens conversion story. Thankful too that he lives in Utah, is conservative and won the election to be our Congressman in Utah. He's an all around winner!
Thank you for sharing your conversion story! In gladdens my heart when I see my brothers and sisters who have a true and good heart and love the Lord and are willing to step out and faith! It takes a great deal of courage nowadays to stand up for truth! I'm so glad you continue to serve everyone with your amazing spirit!
Didn't know this before. Its great to know Burgess, a congressman, seeks divine inspiration for guidance in his life and his duties. We need that so much.
I too have been baptized in 2982 and if it weren't for the confirmation of the Holy Ghost I wouldn't have graduated from Army Ranger school, college Business Administration, 32 years of marriage, performed sacred ordinances for my deceased father whom crossed the Vail when I was 5 yrs old, and many more personal miracles such as hearing my mother's voice and being visited by my grandparents.The Plan of Salvation is True.
You really need to learn who Jesus TRULY is. This doctrine is a false doctrine. You can not be baptized for anyone else. Leave the Mormon church and come to the real God of the Bible through Jesus Christ, His ONLY begotten Son.
It is the same church that the Savior established when he came here anciently, the same church when He appeared to the ancient inhabitants on the American Continent after His crucifixion and taught it to them and called prophets, and the same gospel He reestablished for the last time after the Dark Ages through His prophet, Joseph Smith. The difference being Joseph received the authority from resurrected Peter, James and John and other prophets directly from the Savior himself. The authority and ongoing revelation from the Savior to his prophet (s) is how he directs his disciples and His Church.
@@rabbithole2015 nobody’s perfect. Joseph got trials put infront of him just like anyone else. That’s why he was denied the plates for several years. He wasn’t given the plates till he was fully repented. Christ was and is the only one to be perfect on this earth.
@@infiniteprojeckt agreed nobody but Christ perfect. I never expected that Joseph should be perfect but I did expect that he should be honest. Most of the horrible things he did came after the plate's. He continually lied to his first wife Emma about polygamy and he lied to his followers. He used God as a way to manipulate woman to become plural wives. Perfection is not what anyone should expect. Honesty is. Do you want to know what the true church is?
I really like how he said we take the second step on faith. I need to do that now. I have my answers but it's hard to move forward when I'm waiting for more spiritual manifestations.
@@wildcathawkins That's good. I need to get better at my habits. I believe that's one of those things that's always a work in progress. I always go to church. It was hard last summer when we didn't have church since I'm divorces and alone. So grateful we have been back for quite a while.
@@wildcathawkins Can I ask what made you stop attending? If you are seeking truth may I suggest you check out the testimony of Micah Wilder. Just search his name on TH-cam with his testimony. You will be uplifted and surprised at his message of faith and hope.
WOW! Thank you, Brother Owens for sharing your heart AND serving the people of Utah. Is there any way you could convert Mitt Romney to the church because I think he has lost his way.
People forget that Whites also were not able to have the Priesthood for many, many years...that is part of the great apostasy, the falling away....I am so happy we have the Priesthood back again, and that it is for ALL men...and so happy Burgess Owens found the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Reply
You don’t have to wish, do what others do if you really want to know. Pray with real intent, nothing doubting. You will receive an answer. I wish you the best of luck!
Joe Cook all you need to to put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ and Him Alone. No lds church necessary. No lds temple neccessary. You can have peace with Christ this very day without the pharisees of Mormonism.
@Hermie Who on this earth is worthy? Answer is nobody is worthy and we all fall short of the Glory of God. Mormonism is a burdensome theology and not needed. The lds temple is not of God but of man. Jesus is the way.
@Hermie I appreciate you responding. Yes Jesus is the way and after we have put our faith and trust in Him we are indeed His. Once a person has truly been converted to His Gospel we will remain His. I have been to the temple many many times. It was always an uncomfortable place for me but I kept going month after month year after year. I came to realize that the lds temple is not from God. We are His temple and God does not dwell in buildings made with the hands of man. We can't add any works to the finished work of Jesus Christ. Peace to you as well.
@Hermie That was a really nice and respectful comment you just gave and I appreciate it. I agree with the scripture in James that says faith without works is dead. The good works we do are because of what has already taken place in our faith. The good works I do don't earn me anything but they are evidence of a transforming faith that has taken place. I don't put my trust in any particular religion. Admittedly I struggle with the trinity but I don't struggle with my faith in Jesus Christ as the savior for mankind. I do have trust issues with the leadership in the lds church and feel I have been deceived about many things concerning this religion I was raised and served in. Surprisinlgy it was my calling in the bishopric that led to the beginning of my doubt to the truthfulness of the lds gospel.
So if this had happened a few decades earlier, before blacks were allowed to be part of the priesthood, this would not have happened? Someone please explain.
Please tell me where is the archaeological evidence for the Mormon faith. Of all the great battlefields and cities that supposedly exist, one could expect to find an abundance of evidence.
@@loenearbuckle6604 If there was evidence don't you think the lds church would make it known and official? They would open a museum but we have nothing.
People are duped on a daily basis. Wow. A black man joining the LDS church! He must not have known about church teachings, history, etc. Is he still a member? I am concerned with his salvation.
I recognize that you have strong political feelings, but perhaps you should consider sharing those feelings on a more appropriate forum. This was a beautiful testimony that he shared. Don’t you think?
@@lbradshaw6817 What about my comment was hateful? The reason it makes me sad for him is because I believe lds members are missing out on the greatness of Jesus.
@@edwardbarnhart1698 I’m not sure who it was who hurt you or when you decided to use that hurt as the excuse to reject the truth. (I know what it was for me.) I’m thinking you must have been a valiant spirit! Satan works hardest to scam and dupe the most valiant ones. We know you followed Christ and fought Satan before this life - because you’re standing here in a body! Satan will not help you when you are standing at the judgment bar, but Christ will. I’m hoping you soon break free from those chains of anger, which are really just a coating for deep sadness. I was angry like you for a long time. I can tell you from experience Christ can and will heal all that anger, and you will feel true joy and deep gratitude in its place. Wishing for you the wisdom and the humility to make that journey. 🙏🏼💫
I invite you all to say there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah who is unique, not human, we need Him and He doesn't need us, He doesn't beget nor was He begotten and there is nothing comparable or equal to Him. He doesn't accept worship done with intercessors. Such as praying in the name of an idol, saint or prophet. He created everything from nothing. He sent us a final revelation in the Quran and Sunnah of the final prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam. Say there is nothing worthy of worship except Allah and Muḥammad sallallahu alaihi wa sallam is the final prophet and be saved from punishment in the hereafter. May Allah guide you and me ameen.
I didn’t know he was LDS...I voted for him just because I wanted conservatism in Utah. What a great decision! Exactly the kind of man we need here.
So thankful for Brother Burgess Owens conversion story. Thankful too that he lives in Utah, is conservative and won the election to be our Congressman in Utah. He's an all around winner!
Burgess Owens is a great man!!! So impressed with him politically and now spiritually! Thanks for sharing this! 🥰🥰🥰

What an incredible man. Thank you so much for sharing.
I can feel that the Spirit is with this man. It's obvious to see that he has a kind and gentle heart.
His end statement is paramount! Beautiful story, beautiful soul, beautiful heart! 💗😇

@@brandondean76 Brandon, you are not going to convince ANYONE here. Why don't you pray about it, and ask God, what is right?
What a good faithful man!!
Thank you for sharing your conversion story. It was a blessing to hear it.
Thank you for sharing! It’s so beautiful when the spirit touches the heart! God bless you!
Thankyou so much for sharing your conversion story. Found it so interesting and inspiring. God bless you and all your loved ones.
My husband joined the church 2months after we got married. 😄
What an awesome story and talk about two awesome teammates! Raider Nation baby!!!
My whole life I have been wondering why I joined the church when I did and Mr. Owens gave me the answer.
This is an awesome testimony.
Great conversion story! Goose bumps! Thanks for sharing! Glad you came into the fold of God!
I didn’t know he was a member of Christ’s church!! I voted for him today and I’m even more grateful I did!
Do you believe Christ's church is only found in the lds church?
It is the same church that the Savior established when he came here anciently, the same church when He appeared to the ancient inhabitants on the American Continent after His crucifixion and taught it to them and called prophets, and the same gospel He reestablished for the last time after the Dark Ages through His prophet, Joseph Smith.

@@loenearbuckle6604 Joseph Smith fails the test of a prophet. Do you want to know which church is the true church?
@@rabbithole2015 nobody’s perfect. Joseph got trials put infront of him just like anyone else. That’s why he was denied the plates for several years. He wasn’t given the plates till he was fully repented. Christ was and is the only one to be perfect on this earth.

Thank you Burgess for your example. You are good man of integrity and faith.
Thank you!
Dear Mr Owens please use whatever influence you have to help this country we are hemorraging and I think you know it thank you
Thanks so much for sharing your inspiring story.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
What a great testimony for all of us, thankyou.
Wow powerful testimony
Thank You for this quality channel!
Thank you for the video and standing up..very kind

Todd Christensen was one of favorite players growing up. I had no idea he had reached out to one of his teammates like Jesus wants us to..
WOW! Thank you, Brother Owens for sharing your heart AND serving the people of Utah. Is there any way you could convert Mitt Romney to the church because I think he has lost his way.
Great message
Making a video about prominent saints who have left the LDS Church would offer a balanced picture.
Amen

Love this!
Burgess is awesome!
❤️❤️❤️❤️🙌🏻
Friendly guys sometimes join a cult. He can still find Jesus, it is not too late. Jesus is forgiving. Only thru Jesus can you receive salvation.
Well said Burgess. I wish you were in my Ward. :-)
I wish he had played for Dallas.
🙏 Amen ☝️
I was raised in the LDS church. I'm reluctant atheist at the moment, a big byu football fan.
I wish it was true. And I'm happy for mormon believers.

That's it man!

I'm concerned for all my lds friends and family.
Hate to be the downer here but he has gotten support from QANON to get elected to the house. Not sure those beliefs line up with the church beliefs.
He’s going to be sad when Jesus says he never knew him.
How do we get Romney out of the senate? Please run against him.
