Is Boston Mikesell Serving an Lds Mission? Separating Facts from Internet Rumors
By Chloe Bennett
Brock stepped away from public life to fulfill his mission assignment, accepting the strict communications rules required of full-time missionaries. LDS missionaries give up regular internet access, individual social media management, and commercial brand deals for two years. They communicate with family primarily through weekly phone calls or emails.
Boston remained active online throughout Brock's absence. He filmed independent vlogs, worked behind commercial cameras, and maintained the channel's digital presence. When Distractify reported that Brock Mikesell returned to social media in July 2025 after completing his service, speculation flared again. Commenters assumed Boston had delayed his own mission until Brock came home to take over the channel.
That theory misunderstood how missionary service works. The church does not require young men to tag-team their missionary obligations to preserve algorithmic consistency on a YouTube channel. Brock completed his service. Boston continued his career.
