Adam was a faithful 3rd generation Mormon. When a friend sent him a video of Micah Wilder's testimony, he set out to prove Micah and his friend wrong. In the process, he ran across several issues that rocked his LDS world, and discovered truth from the Bible that touched his heart. After coming to faith in Christ his biggest question was: "Where is my Mormon father who died with a testimony of Joseph Smith and the LDS Church?" Together with Adam, Lynn and Joel address that question from Scripture. Then Adam shares his transition out of Mormonism that culminated in a tearful, heart-cry to God while on his knees in his living room. Jesus answered with healing grace and Adam has never been the same.

In this episode, Jon talks candidly about the mounting pressure of going on a Mormon mission, the shame and guilt of a pornography addiction and the lies he had to tell to cover it up, and the mounting evidence he was discovering that indicated the Mormon Church was not all that it claimed to be. He also shares the one piece of Mormon history that "broke his shelf" and allowed him to finally conclude the Mormon Church simply was not true and it shouldn't have a hold on him.
