- Three Mormons open up about their own weaknesses and short comings. Do our weaknesses define us or limit our potential?
Check out Justin, Kwaku and Mimi, stars of the hit new UA-cam show “3 Mormons” discuss Mormon weaknesses and share opinions and insight on what it mormons struggle with in today’s world!
Is it true that Latter Day Saints struggle with being perfectionists? What kind of pressure does your divine potential really put on you? Each of our three hosts has a different take on weakness and how it affects their lives.
Justin has struggled with being a self starter in the past. For example, he mentioned that he was very good at sports growing up, but stopped exercising as soon as he no longer had a coach that was telling him what to do. Old habits die hard and this has been a reoccurring struggle in his life.
Mimi reminds us that we should never compare our weaknesses with other people’s strengths. She referenced an example given at the LDS General Conference titled “Spiritual Eclipse” In this talk, Elder Gary E. Stevenson of the Quorum of the Twelve apostles, in order to portray how unrealistic social media can be, shows a picture of some well backed muffins in a beautiful table. The picture then zoomed out to show a messy table, a crying child, and a normal looking home. To her detriment, Mimi has personally struggled with comparing her worst with the best of her friend’s social media experience.
Lastly, Kwaku shares a story of his “Friend” who felt guilty for kissing too many girls. While he was not doing anything wrong, he felt that he was not doing it for the right reasons and still felt bad about it.
Are weaknesses necessary for this life? The group explains that working through our weaknesses brings us closer to christ, while overindulging and giving in to our weaknesses leads to sin and furthering themselves form Christ.
What are your personal weaknesses? Do you feel like they get in the way of your personal progression? Do you have any weaknesses that are similar to theirs? Comment below and tell us your thoughts!

You are in good company because the Apostle Paul struggled with that as well. He never said he caved into the weakness but he did say it was a massive struggle. Not sure what the thorn was in his side but GOD told him that his Grace was sufficient.
I just realized that there is a llama in the background!
My problem is being impatient with God’s timing. He answers my prayers, but makes me wait JUST a bit longer than I expect. My favorite talk from October 2017 was about this topic. (“Devine Design,” by Elder Ronald A. Rasband.)
That's one of my favorite talks as well.
I think my biggest weakness is fearing the unknown and lacking faith. But I just try my best everyday. :D
Quick question I am very interested in a Mormon girl but is converting necessary? Honest question.
@munoz Pretty sure that you would not regret converting.
I am struggling with this now I am trying to find faith to talk to my parents
I am the opposite, I love the unknown, is so fun, and faith was always my streinght.. try to enjoy life more, is fun!
@@linksdeath123 no it is not, but how ever, if she is strong in a religion, you two will struggle a lot and it might not work out.
I love how the episode about human weakness has so many "mess up" moments, but you guys are so cheery and happy anyway!
My Biggest Strength Being very Loving
I love all of you! You make me smile and strengthen my testimony at the same time! Thank you for giving hope to all that we are imperfect and we just need to work on them, not overthink and accentuate the positive! I am sharing this with my 21-year-old!
Dude Justin i am the same way
Supper lazy
I like your lot humour and honesty about how we all have weakness
I struggle with making the right decision. As a member, I have not been real active and I'm afraid that I can't do things on my own. I want to build my faith, each day seems to be more challenging. At times I feel empty
Thalid98 Hey we all feel that way at times. Sometimes God lets us fall low, so he can lift us higher. Start with scriptures, prayer, and church! Show your faith with your work, and god will send the spirit to comfort your heart :)
Kwaku El thank you. I needed that encouragement. I feel like I hit the lowest spot in my life and I appreciate your positive message. Each day as I wake up and before going to bed, I cry uncontrollably for 30 to 45 minutes.
Thalid98 Elder Holland counseled us to get a priesthood blessing and a counselor! Use the glorious tools god gave us! As someone who’s been in the lowest of lows in my life, I know that God will lift us out! And I know that he will lift you out :)
Also, be really patient with yourself. Like Kwaku said, start with the small simple things. God loves you, I know it. And as your reach out to him, you’ll feel his light. It takes some work though. But you can do it!
I am super motivated, becouse life is so fun and achieving things give me satisfaction. I never andrestood people who are "lazy" and have no motivation in life.
To answer the question of what we struggle with, I would respond with this: As we are ALL: human, and are mortal, we struggle with everything everyone else has to deal with. Regardless of what you believe (or do not believe}, we are ALL mortals and have the same challenges in life. So, what do you struggle with? Would it surprise you if I said I struggled with the same issue?
What is the difference between weakness and sin?
Really needed this!!
love your channel. you guys always say what i need to hear
Can I dialogue and learn more share with you ?
The way Kwaku looks at her tho :B
Oh my WORD! I just want Kwaku to find love haha!
Toni Whitten oh same
Toni Whitten hahah we all do
Halo reference was 👌🏽👋🏽
Reality.
Please get together to do a video with Jeff Durbin discussing religious differences... I think a video like that would generate a lot of interest in your channel. Give it some thought & prayer.
Goodness Justin is so cute
Latter-day Saints are TERRIBLE at understanding the concept of grace. Missionaries (I served a mission 20 years ago) are full of love and compassion towards the people they are teaching. If someone asked me, "I struggle with [fill in the blank], does God still love me?" My response would always be something like, "Of course he does! He knows you're imperfect and he wants to help you get better." But how often do members take their own advice? Not very often. Too many people slip up (in both big and small ways) and allow shame and guilt to crush them into a pancake.
9:55 10/10 for facial expressions 👌🏼
The lesson is that weakness is not sin but indulging in weakness can lead to sin
I like her shirt
Cereal (lol)......Lucky Charms, Coco Puffs, Frosted Flakes!!!
Anything anybody else does. I struggled with alcoholic drug addiction, sleeping with too many women, stupid tithing, depression, other dumb stuff you know. "Mormons" are human after all.
Kwaku, if I wasn't already getting married this year, I'd totally ask you on a date over that Robin Hood reference! Legit my favourite movie ever 😆 Come on ladies, how is this guy still single?
Marie Digna I'm actually pretty sure he's married...?
Nope he's not
Nobody asks for fishy’s opinion :(
We'll start changing this. I apologize Katelyn.

Jakob Bell it really makes a difference doesn’t it ;) haha
Something that is not mentioned is to receive God's righteousness, and for that to happen you must know Him, you must believe in Jesus and His grace. First, you must know the true Jesus, not an exalted man God, it is important that you have the correct spirit that you are centering yourself with. Do you know God's word, God's word reveals to man those things that he can never discover by his own intellect, no temple, or priest can give that to you. Also, you must trust in Him to receive His righteousness, when you receive His righteousness you no longer will make so many mistakes, because you are living in God's spirit, the Holy Spirit. John 14:20 In that day, you shall know that I am in my Father and you are in me, and I in you. This does not happen unless you believe in the true God.

Kwaku, do you skate? If so, what kind of board do you have?
moegoggles I do not skateboard haha
Kwaku El I just unsubscribed.
Haha, Kwaku! Learn to skate!
Grudgingly, yes... You'll need some really sick music playing in the background, like "Misirlou" by Agent Orange
I hope you guys know I’m kidding. Skateboarding is fun. I encourage anyone to try it. Still subscribed. Can you guys say a prayer for me? Tough day at work... My real name is Matt
5:39 I bet if a young gal had done that instead of young guy she would get in trouble for it though.
MLM’s and other “get rich quick schemes” for starters.
Kwaku has to control himself...He reAlly needs to!!!!!,!
Hey what Kwaku, what happened to our conversation?
First 😩
Why do you let authoritarian finger-waggers tell you you're weak?
