Brian Faulconer - Marriage, Fatherhood and Following the Spirit - A Not So Typical Mormon Story

Brian Faulconer is a husband, a father of 4 children and an active member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

 

Many who know Brian would look at him and think that he had a "standard" LDS upbringing. Brian and his sister were born while their parents were in their 30s. His father, a frenchman who served in the French Legion, was a convert to the church. His mother had "pioneer heritage" and was born and raised in the church. Both had been married before and carried some bad habits into their second marrriage.

 

Brian would grow up with both parents, and loved them both. However, he learned lessons of what to do and what NOT to do when he would find his own wife. While everything appeared good on the outside, several instances were less than ideal growing up.

 

Nevertheless, Brian grew through spiritual experiences, and learned at an early age to rely on God's influence in his life. He would serve a mission for the church, and shortly upon arriving home, fall in love with his wife. They now have four children and are growing together in a trying their best to live a gospel led life.

 

Brian comes on the podcast to tell his story. To discuss his views on spirituality, how to recognize spiritual promptings, dealing with communication in marriage, dealing with the mental health issues of others, and how he keeps his own mental health in proper alignment.
