Hi, I'm Kevin Vehar

I'm a husband, a father of two girls, a rabid football fan and I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am passionate about three things in life: My God, Family and BYU Sports. Yes, I am a pretty boring and average Joe.

I love my family (wife and two daughters). Nothing makes me more happy than spending time with them. Parks, pools and sports fill our days with fun and laughter. My wife and I met at BYU-Idaho and have been married for 9 wonderful years.

I was raised in Colorado and have lived in several states. However, my wife and I settled down in Colorado because we love it for its outdoor beauty and 300+ sunny days.

Anybody that knows me, even slightly, knows I am passionate about BYU Sports. (especially Football). I wear my BYU colors with pride and without excuses. Just to show how much of a fanatic I am, both my girls knew the BYU Cougar Fight Song (from start to finish) by 18 months.

Why I am a Mormon

I am a Mormon because I know our faith to be true. I know God answers prayers and is always there for us, as long as we are willing to seek Him. By living the doctrine of Christ, I am happy, relaxed and free. Most of all, the Gospel of Jesus Christ makes me a better person. I have a firm testimony that Christ lives and is our Savior, the true Son of God. God and Christ want me and all his children to live these principles so we can all be truly happy.

Personal Stories

In what ways have your prayers been answered?

In small and simple ways my prayers have been answered. My Father in Heaven knows me and knows what is best for me. As long as I have faith, I have always been blessed to have my prayers answered. If we just stop and observe, we often find that the Lord has answered our prayers.

How I live my faith

I have the opportunity to serve the youth of our Church and their friends who are not of our faith. It takes several hours per week, but it is worth it to help serve the future generation of country.

What do Mormons believe happens to us after we die? What do Mormons believe about life after death?

Kevin Vehar answered...

We will be evaluated by Jesus Christ to see what type of person we have become. Each one of us will be rewarded with glory according to what we deserve and eventually live with God and his son, Jesus Christ and our families again.

What is faith?

Zen answered...

Of all the definitions of faith I have read or heard, I add the simplest and most complete to me, which is the Love of Christ. I cannot think of a better way to describe faith. Love of Christ is the substance of hope in something evident we can not see with earthly eyes. It is the faith in Christ or the love of Christ that enabled Able to make a more perfect sacrifice (Hebrews 11:4). That love is why we believe in Christ, it is why we have grace, it is why we have works, it is why we have belief, it is why we have hope, it is why we have charity, it is the very essence of faith, and faith is the very essence of the Love of Christ

Perfect knowledge is worthless without faith. For instance, most of us have perfect knowledge that applying a pointed pencil to paper will cause a mark. That knowledge will not make a mark if we do not exercise the elements of faith called works (picking up the pencil, applying it to the paper, and making a mark), belief (that doing so will make a mark), and hope (that it actually will make a mark). It is my desire that you would exercise works to find out about Christ and study Him, that you would believe on His words and His life and His sacrifice, and that you would hope that He would have an effect in your life. If you exercise this faith, you will truly come unto Him.
