My channel advocates for the Church by publicly defending its teachings, correcting misconceptions about Latter-day Saint beliefs, responding to criticisms, and explaining why I believe the Restoration offers compelling answers to important theological questions. I advocate for and seek to teach what the current living LDS Apostles are teaching. I regularly engage Protestant, Catholic, Orthodox, atheist, and other perspectives through interviews and debates while presenting the Latter-day Saint position fairly and confidently. My goal is not merely to “win” arguments, but to help members feel more confident in their faith, help outsiders understand what Latter-day Saints actually believe, and create opportunities for people to seriously consider the restored gospel of Jesus Christ.
Let’s Talk w/ Hayden Carroll creates thoughtful, engaging content about the restored gospel of Jesus Christ, with a particular focus on apologetics, theology, interfaith dialogue, and difficult questions about Latter-day Saint belief. Through debates, interviews, live conversations, and educational videos, my goal is to present the beliefs of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in a way that is intellectually serious, faithful, accessible, and compelling. Long term, I want to build one of the most influential independent Latter-day Saint media platforms, reaching millions of people, strengthening faith, answering objections, and creating productive conversations between Latter-day Saints and people of other faiths.
My primary audience includes Latter-day Saints who want to better understand and defend their faith, young adults navigating difficult religious questions, people who are investigating or curious about the Church, and Christians from other traditions who want to better understand Latter-day Saint beliefs. I also intentionally reach people who are skeptical of or critical toward the Church. Much of my content is designed to meet people where religious conversations are already happening online and provide thoughtful, faithful responses to the questions and objections they encounter.
I’ve dedicated my entire life to be a covenant keeping, gospel sharing member of the Restored Church headed by President Oaks. It’s my goal to use the talents God has given to me to help gather Israel and encourage others to do the same.
