UGP 158 - A Weight Has Been Lifted - Richard and Melissa - Part 2 Oct 02, 2021

Show notes

Unemployment, health issues, religious shaming - none of it fun stuff, yet it was some of what God used to bring Richard and Melissa out of their performance-based religion and into faith in Jesus. And to them, it was all worth it to have the weight gone, the pressure off, and see the benefits to their health, their spiritual lives, and their marriage. Listen in as they share how they experienced a grace that heals. The same can be true for you.

UGP 157 - Everything is Fine - Until it's Not - Richard and Melissa - Part 1 Sep 25, 2021

Show notes

Baptists, busses, and baptisms - all played a part in Richard and Melissa's Mormon story. They candidly share about their in-and-out, up-and-down history with the LDS church. Richard talks about his culture shock going from Arizona to Kentucky for his mission, and Melissa opens up about what it's like to have everything be fine within a performance-based religion -- until it's not. Sometimes grace beats down the door, and other times it simply sneaks in a side window. Either way, it brings healing and hope to spiritually hungry hearts.

UGP 156 - Mental Healing in Jesus - Brandy Burhoe - Part 2 Sep 18, 2021

Show notes

Our previous episode (155) ended with Brandy feeling doomed to a life that would never know mental healing or spiritual peace. In this episode, she finds both. Brandy talks about what God used to open her eyes and her heart to grace, and the huge relief at finding out her husband also had concerns about their performance-based religion of Mormonism. For Brandy, grace brought mental, emotional, and spiritual healing beyond anything she'd ever experienced.

UGP 155 - Doomed to Feel Like This Forever - Brandy Burhoe - Part 1 Sep 11, 2021

Show notes

Performance religion defined much of Brandy's life. She was raised a Jehovah's Witness, but following her parent's ex-communication and later divorce, her family moved to Utah and as a teenager found herself a stranger in a strange land. Drawn by friendships and family culture she converted to Mormonism. Fast forward through some rough years she finally found herself with the husband, family, and temple marriage she thought would bring her peace. Instead, her exterior world only masked growing feelings of unworthiness and despair, something she felt doomed to feel forever. But God was about to intervene and change everything.

UGP 154 - Micah Wilder - Former Mormon Missionary now Reaching Mormons (Replay of #142) Sep 04, 2021

Show notes

As a former Mormon missionary, how do you go back and tell the people you converted to Mormonism what you taught them was a lie? With one family that Micah baptized into the LDS church after the death of their young child, helping them leave was a long, difficult, and painful process.

What is one of the most effective things we can do to reach Mormons, especially ones that are hostile to the message of grace?

How do you navigate the danger of knowing so much about Mormonism (or any other religion) that your knowledge might actually hurt the effectiveness of your witness?

Lynn, Joel, and Micah explore all these topics in this deep, rich, and at times emotional episode. Join us for a podcast full of insight and moving stories that will encourage and move your heart as you experience a grace that heals.

Despite all their efforts, her new romance won out over her religious background, and Ashley not only married Adam she converted to Mormonism.

UGP 152 - Issues that Rocked my Mormon World - Adam Beaty - Part 2 Aug 21, 2021

Show notes

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.

When his Baptist girlfriend started working with him at Dairy Queen, they fell in love, he converted her, and he married her instead of going on his LDS mission. But that's just the beginning of their story. Adam shares candidly about deliberately keeping certain Mormon teachings hidden from Ashley, even while he was troubled himself with certain parts of LDS doctrine. He provides a fascinating inside look at life as a committed but sometimes questioning Mormon.
