Hi, I'm Chris

I grew up in Southern California. I am a MMA fighter (Mixed Martial Arts). And I'm a Mormon.

About Me

I am married to a beautiful woman and have five brilliant kids. I am a MMA fighter. I like to hang out with my family and watch movie previews. My family likes me to cook for them and wrestle with the kids.

Why I am a Mormon

My conversion story started about 4 years ago. I began going to church in jeans and a T-shirt without any second glances from people. After having the discussions from the missionaries, I prayed to see if this church was the true church. I recieved my answer and eventually, I got baptized because I felt the spirit. I like the people in this church and everything that the church stands for. I continue to follow the gospel because of these standards which include the importance of family and giving service by helping everyone.

Personal Stories

What are you doing to help strengthen your family and make it successful?

I go to work as often as I can in the early morning to financially support my family. I spend personal time with my wife and children to continue to develop a personal relationship with each of them. I try to always set a great example of what a husband, father, and friend should be.

How I live my faith

I am a ward missionary which means I openly tell everyone about the gospel. I do not wear a suit everyday and ride a bike but through my daily activities, I try to inform everyone about His church.

What is faith?

Chris answered...

Faith is to believe in something that you've never seen.
Kempe answered...

It's another word for commitment. When assessing one's own faithfulness, it may be easier to ask, "How committed are you?"

Do you really believe there is a prophet like Moses alive today?

Rhodes answered...

I don't know of anyone that compares to Moses in individual character, but I have heard of many men with faith just as Moses's. Take a look at the words of the Prophets that have previously been chief-apostle of this church, their wonderful biographies and their 'good fruits.' These are men with such faith in God that they are willing to fully devote all their time and effort to proclaim His gospel, and to labor as his servants in this work.

God is the same yesterday, today and forever. God loved his children enough in the past to give them a prophet to guide them throughout their journey's. Would God love us less in these days when the journey's are so much more difficult? My answer I really Do believe that God loves us the same today, that there really is a prophet today who receives revelation from God to guide us throughout our struggles. And what a blessing this is!
