What does faith look like when life doesn’t go as planned?
Skyler Sorensen opens up about his experience navigating same-sex attraction, finding a joyous temple marriage, and paving his way on the covenant path.
What Skyler thought would be his biggest trial in life actually set him up for success. Early and honest conversations with his wife, Amanda, drew them closer and prepared them for their hardest challenge yet—losing their son, Milo.
Instead of breaking them, that loss gave them a clearer view of God, family, and what the covenant path is really about.

![The Moment I Realized I Was Wrong About Joseph Smith, the Temple & Freemasonry | Don Bradley [Clip]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/ATrkQZbZCNY/mqdefault.jpg "The Moment I Realized I Was Wrong About Joseph Smith, the Temple & Freemasonry | Don Bradley [Clip]
Sometimes, we leave the camera rolling and ask one more question after an episode is done. This is the result of one of those times.
When Don Bradley left the Church and became an atheist, he was convinced Joseph Smith copied the temple endowment from Freemasonry. But when he actually dug into the timeline, things didn’t add up.
What he discovered about the parallels between masonry and the temple is one of the things that started pulling him back toward faith.
In this clip, we talk about:
- Parallels vs. borrowing
- Freemasonry’s biblical roots
- Temple patterns in the Book of Mormon and First Vision
- Why the 1820s timeline creates a real problem for the “Joseph copied Masonry” claim
