UGP 141 - Passport to Heaven - Micah Wilder - Book Interview - Part 3 Jun 05, 2021

Show notes

In this week's episode, Micah shares more from his new book and talks about hurricanes, the Love Elders, and how God used the leadership of the LDS Church and their missionary policies to help him see why following the Mormon religious system would never bring salvation or eternal life. He shares candidly about how the love of God was changing his heart. Micah shared this about the impact of the 4th hurricane:

"I remember this sickness in my stomach that I was going to put on a white shirt and tie and try and convert people to Mormonism when I knew that people were devastated. People had lost homes, they had lost power, they had trees through their roofs, and I remember praying about it and talking it over with my companion." In the end, Micah and his missionary companion decided to put on street clothes and do what Jesus would do - not proselytize, but give people help where they needed it most. That decision came with a price. Listen to the podcast
