Welcome to LDS-Alive-in-Christ.
The purpose of this blog is to provide Latter Day-Saints access to thoughts, talks, and doctrinal exploration of the first principles of the gospel of Jesus Christ.
The first principles of the gospel properly applied enable church members to draw on the powers of heaven. The powers of heaven are available because of our baptism covenant and our diligent seeking for the gift of the Holy Ghost.
With the Holy Ghost as our companion we are made “alive in Christ”, and then we will talk of Christ, rejoice in Christ, preach of Christ, and know to what source to look for a remission of our sins.

HAPPY I FOUND IT! I’m grateful to hear a strong voice out there… and from a man.
There ARE good men in the world. Look forward to reading more of your posts.
This is a great blog!! Thank you so much. I wish I would have found your blog when I was investigating the church, but even now, I am really happy that I found it, it’s really uplifting. I love it. I’m sure your blog would help a lot of people come or get closer to our Savior. When I was reading your experience with the savior, I know everything you said is true, we all have unique experiences with the Savior, but one thing we all have in common is that we all feel the Savior’s pure love. Thank you for sharing!!
Jared,
I’ve liked what I have read of your blog so far and it reminds me of the one by Denver Snuffer.

Thank you, Jared, for posting your website and sharing your personal experience! Your experience has helped give me further insight into how I might get closer to experiencing the mighty change and being truly born again of the Spirit, as the Book of Mormon talks about so much.
About 5 months ago, I was told about a book called, “Experiencing the Mighty Change,” written by a most humble author. His name was nowhere to be found on the book, so the person who recommended it to me, gave me the phone number of the publisher. When I called it, the author of the book answered and we talked for a while! He said that the book was out of print, but that he would lend me his very last copy if I promised to return it.
I met the author, Hal Wilcox and his wife, at their home. They are a very warm elderly couple who welcomed me into their home and we talked for about 3 hours! He is about as kind and humble as they come, and he told me how sad he was that so many people don’t truly understand what it really means to be TRULY born again of the spirit.
He was excited that I was interested in experiencing the mighty change and when I asked if I could make copies of the book, he was delighted and encouraged me to spread it around to as many people as possible! He had no concern for making any money off of it, nor had he ever!
I am still praying to receive the Lord’s total forgiveness. I just found your website yesterday, Jared; and reading about your experience makes me realize that I need to put more work into my efforts. Like Hal said, it is amazing how many people don’t truly understand what it really means to be TRULY born again, and how the mighty change really feels. I’m all eyes and ears when it comes to learning more about what I must do to achieve this amazing milestone! Thank you for sharing your experience! I have been telling a few people about Hal’s book and now I can direct them to your site, as well.
(Oh, by the way, yesterday I discovered that Hal’s book, “Experiencing the Mighty Change” is online! People can find it at: http://shalyce.com/wp-content/uploads/ETMC.pdf

Thanks for leaving your thoughtful comment. The only reason I brought this blog into existence is to share my experience with others, like yourself, who are seeking to draw nearer to Heavenly Father, with the hope that something I write might be useful to them as they navigate their way through the difficult terrain of this mortal experience.
