About Me

Hi. My name is Brian Ferguson. I am an LDS writer and teacher who examines modern social and political issues in the light of the restored Gospel of Jesus Christ. I help people see through the lies and disinformation created by those who seek power and gain.

And if your eye be single to my glory, your whole bodies shall be filled with light, and there shall be no darkness in you; and that body which is filled with light comprehendeth all things.

Doctrine and Covenants 88:67

Who am I?

I am a retired teacher librarian and public school educator. I have been a Board member of the Utah Education Association (UEA) and on several committees of the National Education Association (NEA) — including serving as Chair of the NEA Resolutions Committee.

Many years ago I served a mission for the LDS church in the Alabama-Florida Mission. While there I spent several months in a traveling singing quartet known as “Saint’s Alive.”

I have been a Mormon Democrat for more than four decades and am working on a book about why my Mormonism leads me to be a Democrat. I started my blog, “Good, Wise, and Honest,” on Blogger.com in 2002. I have been blogging here at “Insight” since May of 2016.
