UGP 139 - Passport to Heaven - Micah Wilder - Book Interview - Part 1

TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE

Exciting News! Micah Wilder's book is out soon! As a zealous and committed LDS missionary, a Baptist pastor challenged Micah to read the New Testament with the eyes of a child. As he read the Bible to prove this pastor wrong, God pursued and captured Micah's heart with his love and grace. His love for Jesus ultimately led to his dismissal from his mission. Over the next several episodes, Lynn and Joel talk to Micah about his faith journey and what led him to write his book, Passport to Heaven: The True Story of a Zealous Mormon Missionary Who Discovers the Jesus He Never Knew.

In this first episode, Micah talks about his early life, and the fear he couldn't shake, even as he outperformed so many of his fellow LDS missionaries.
