In recent years, Greg Trimble’s blog posts in defense of the LDS Church have been read by millions.

But at age 21, Greg Trimble wasn’t an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

A spiritual awakening the night before his sophomore season of college baseball changed the course of his life, he told the Deseret News.

“God had had it up to here with me. He was done ‘nudging’ me. That night … I had what I would consider a Godly beat down. It was almost as if the next day held some sort of cosmic significance in my life,” Trimble said. “It was as strong of a spiritual experience as I have ever had in my life up to that point and even until now. The message? Quit baseball. Drop your scholarship. Enlist in God’s army.”

Who is Greg Trimble? The blogger’s bio on his website is pretty disarming.

“I’m supposed to jot down a bunch of important credentials here that will convince you that I’m some kind of great writer, but really, I’m just a normal guy, leading a very normal life,” Trimble writes. “Above all, I love God and my family. I love to write and hope that something I say helps someone have a better day. I just want to do some good in this crazy world.”

It’s a simple yet straightforward introduction to a man whose blog has received approximately 7 million page views and attracted tens of thousands of social media followers in just a few years.

VIDEO: Self-Compassion — Be Kind to Yourself

The antidote for the poison of self-criticism is self-compassion, and self-kindness is the key. Become your own best friend by changing how you talk to yourself and learning to embrace your flaws. We are taught to be compassionate and caring to others just as Jesus Christ was. We take care of friends and family without a second thought. So why do we sometimes exclude ourselves from the same compassion? Elder Jeffrey R. Holland taught that “as children of God, we should not demean or vilify ourselves, as if beating up on ourselves is somehow going to make us the person God wants us to become.” Remember, everyone is a child of God who is deserving of love, forgiveness, and patience—and that includes you.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
