Watch Meet the Mormons – A Movie About Members
Many people have a friend or acquaintance who are Mormons (more properly known as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints). Others may have only heard about them.
Unfortunately, what they’ve heard isn’t always 100% true or even close to being true. No, Mormons do not have horns! I mean who really came up with that one? It doesn’t even make any physiological sense, yet somehow, it persists.
Whether you’re familiar with Mormons or not, the church has produced a film showcasing six of its members– none of whom, I assure you, have horns (they aren’t members of Barnum and Bailey). Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints come from all walks of life. They are everyday people such as teachers, doctors, neighbors, and friends. Some are even public figures, from athletes you cheer for to actors in your favorite movies and TV shows.
Some Notable Mormons
Names you might recognize are Mark Rober (Youtuber), Glenn Beck (TV personality), Ken Jennings (repeated Jeopardy winner), Wilford Brimley (actor), Donny and Marie along with the rest of the Osmond family performers (musicians), Don Bluth (film producer), Rudy Ruettiger (Notre Dame football player which the film “Rudy” is based upon. Converted later in life after his time at Notre Dame), Gladys Knight (musician), Imagine Dragons (musician), Jared Hess (film producer), Jon Heder (actor), Kirby Heyborne (actor), Brandon Mull (author), Brandon Sanderson (author), Orson Scott Card (author), Philo T. Farnsworth (inventor of the TV), Mitt Romney (politician), Steve Young (athlete), Lindsey Sterling (musician), GENTRI (musician), and Stephen R. Covey (author and leadership coach). That’s just a short list of people who come to mind that are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Oh I forgot to include myself! I shared my conversion story here.
