“I left Idaho to move to Utah to leave and escape the church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints!” An eager Tyler wanting to do anything and everything to get away from a church he and especially a culture he no longer found belonging in. After a number of years and attempts to steer away from any religion, going as far as removing his records from the church, God’s call to Tyler was both subtle and clear invitations to return to the fold. This inspired him to be more intentional and find what his true ‘Why’ is as a member of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. A ‘Why’ that is founded upon a renewed and refined perspective on pure faith in Jesus Christ despite the inevitable judgements he knew he’d receive and did receive in his efforts to do so. This is Why He Stays.
