Temples are not new - they’re holy places to separate our faith from the cares and concerns of the everyday world. In today’s episode of Changing, Donald is joined by the owner of Flood Me Social (a Tik Tok influencer marketing firm), Michael Manzur, to discuss his trips, travels, and perspective behind the importance of temples.
The beauty and nature of why we go to temples are essential.
Temples are a representation of a holy place. Regardless of religion, there are places you can go to grow in your spiritual journey.
They’re a place for solitude and reflection, and they’re tremendously crucial to every religion.
What happens inside temples?
Because they are holy places, many obtain a temple recommend before entering. It’s a series of questions by a faith leader, where they ask questions pertaining to your faith.
As you enter the temple, you leave the world behind. You enter to learn and to serve.
Depending on your faith, there are baptisms and areas for reflection.
Temples aren’t always secret; they’re sacred.
Many temples have open houses, inviting people outside the faith to enjoy the decor, atmosphere, and history that makes the temple special.

At temples, you can take your burdens to God. You don’t have to be a faith member to get value and peace from these special places.

Temples are a symbol of our faith, and it’s important we recognize their importance for any religious community.
