Daniel and Edith get married and live the happy Mormon life, complete with work, kids and a temple marriage. But for Edith, there are certain LDS teachings that don't match her reality. She's living the Mormon commandments but not being blessed. Meanwhile, close friends who are not Mormon live out their faith in Christ by loving others, drink coffee and wine, and are experiencing tremendous blessing in their lives. What gives? Daniel, in the meantime, as a Mormon bishop, is trying to ignore his wife's troubling questions. They both research the issues on the LDS church website and soon conclude much of what they were taught their whole life was a lie. Can grace keep their faith in God intact?

Daniel was a bishop and from a multi-generational highly regarded family. Edith, his wife, was a multi-generational Mormon as well, but with a less than stellar past. In this series we hear their stories of how God brought them together, kept them together, and rescued them from the treadmill of performance religion. In part 1, Edith shares candidly and with great vulnerability how devastating it can be to fail within the LDS religious system.

Joel and Lynn continue exploring a recent column in the Salt Lake Tribune that suggests 20 changes the Mormon Church should make for the sake of its members. From tithing to mission-shaming to men wrongly assuming the place of Jesus, it all adds up to the same thing - demands for performance will end up negating our need for grace and our dependence on Jesus as our only link to God the Father. In the end, less performance requirements will not fix the Mormon religion. Lynn and Joel weave scripture and stories together that will encourage you to experience a grace that heals.

Joel and Lynn share scriptures and a biblical perspective on how to find peace in Jesus and comfort in a God who is both personal and powerful during troubled times like our current Covid pandemic. Lynn contrasts her life now, 14 years after leaving the Mormon religion, with the fear and despair that were so much a part of her life back then. While this is a replay of episode 081 that aired at the beginning of the pandemic, the hope and encouragement we can find in Jesus is just as relevant, and needed today as it was then. Listen in and experience a grace that heals.

Growing up in the Hinn family (Benny Hinn is Costi's uncle) Costi and his family enjoyed lavish affluence. Still, as within most performance-based religious systems, for Costi there were cracks in the dam that eventually led to Jesus breaking into his life with both truth and grace. In this episode Costi outlines core false teachings of the "name it and claim it" gospel and shares what changed in his life when he met the Jesus of the Bible. He also talks about his newest book, "More Than a Healer: Not the Jesus You Want But the Jesus You Need" and why we need a "Jesus awakening." Lots of good stuff here to listen and share.

After a landslide victory for his Utah House of Representatives seat, Carl set his sights on the national political stage, and was confident of a win... until he lost, in a big way. Outwardly, both he and Sherry were living the LDS dream, but under the surface God was moving to disrupt their tranquil Mormon waters and bring them to a grace that would heal their souls.
