Joel and Lynn explore a recent column in the Salt Lake Tribune that suggests 20 changes the Mormon Church should make for the sake of its members. However, will less performance requirements actually fix the Mormon religion? Lynn and Joel share scripture and specific reasons why making it easier to be an LDS member is still no substitute for the grace of Jesus. Having fewer rules simply won't fix a broken system that is based on works.

In this episode Lynn and Joel talk with Costi Hinn (nephew of Benny Hinn) about his newest book, "More Than a Healer: Not the Jesus You Want But the Jesus You Need." Costi shares why revenge is so attractive, why some people stay with their anger and addictions, and he gets candid about where he is most tempted to turn for comfort (so do Joel and Lynn). They also talk about more parallels between the prosperity gospel and the Mormon religion, and how relationship with Jesus is the key to breaking free from despair, guilt, shame, and loneliness. It's an episode full of hope for the soul and who we need to experience a grace that heals.

Our previous episode (155) ended with Brandy feeling doomed to a life that would never know mental healing or spiritual peace. In this episode, she finds both. Brandy talks about what God used to open her eyes and her heart to grace, and the huge relief at finding out her husband also had concerns about their performance-based religion of Mormonism.  For Brandy, grace brought mental, emotional, and spiritual healing beyond anything she'd ever experienced.
