Daniel and Edith have hit a crisis in marriage and faith. Daniel can no longer ignore the evidence Edith has shared with him, and his experience as a lawyer has trained him to follow the evidence to the truth - wherever that leads. The conclusion is undeniable - Mormonism cannot be true. While Edith knows Jesus is real, Daniel takes a deep dive into agnosticism and atheism, which really scares Edith. But Daniel can't leave Jesus alone and so he reads widely on both sides, ultimately concluding Jesus was a real person and the Gospels are authentic accounts of his life. But what will this mean for his faith? It's a roller coaster ride for them both and grace is never far away.

Chip Thompson is a frequent visitor to Israel with his own mini-museum of artifacts from Bible lands. In this episode he shows us a dagger from the time of the Judges, and a nail, spearhead, hammer, and bronze Roman dice all connected to the crucifixion of Jesus. Amazing stuff. We end with a Roman key and talk about what Jesus meant when he told Peter he'd be given the keys to the kingdom and how grace has swung open the gates of heaven to everyone and anyone who has the faith to walk through them. It's an episode that will challenge your mind, encourage your heart, and nourish your soul.

Chip Thompson is a frequent visitor to Israel with his own mini-museum of artifacts from Bible lands. He talks about and shows some of his favorite pieces (see the show notes for pictures) and explains how pottery, weapons, manuscripts, and money all back up the veracity of the Bible and provide evidence the translations of the Bible we have today are accurate and reliable. It's a fun, fascinating, and fast-paced episode that will leave you wanting more.

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.
