Latter-day Saint YouTube creator behind "Let's Talk w/ Hayden Carroll"
Hayden hosts a YouTube channel built around conversations and debates on Latter-day Saint belief, often with Christians of other traditions, and posts short clips and commentary on X. His topics lately include the Trinity, Calvinism and whether the Bible is infallible. He also has a new book on Amazon challenging the creedal view of God.
Independent creator content: the channel's own video descriptions say the views are the creator's and not official Church positions.

A fan account shared a moment from ESPN where Pat McAfee passed along what his former teammate Austin Collie told him about LDS missionaries: that they come home mature, family-ready and athletic.
Kirk Rollins @nicoraytruth
A Latter-day Saint reacted to a conversation in which Catholics said their church doesn't send missionaries to the U.S. because it is a Christian nation. He argued the U.S. is not, pointed to LDS missionaries serving across the country, and criticized the Catholic position strongly.
Trevor Tomesh ☕ @realDrTT
A Catholic creator quote-posted that argument about missionary work and said he agrees with it, as a devout Catholic.
Jared Bell @jaredadairbell
A meme reply in an ongoing Trinity debate: a bookcase labeled as holding the biblical references for sola scriptura, sola fide, cessationism and the Trinity is shown empty.
