UGP 220 - Lynn and Mike Wilder's 7 Reasons We Left Mormonism - Part 6 -Temples and Recap Dec 17, 2022

Show notes

Mike and Lynn Wilder were dedicated, temple-worthy, faithful Mormons. When their son Micah discovered the saving, healing grace of Jesus on his LDS mission, he encouraged his parents to read the Bible, with the open, trusting eyes of a child. They did, and what they discovered led them to leave their LDS faith and write the book, 7 Reasons We Left Mormonism. In this series, Joel and Lynn explore these seven reasons and why they can be life changing for Christians and Mormons alike. In this final episode, Mike Wilder joins Joel for Reason 7 and provides a quick recap of the previous 6 reasons. It's an excellent summary of why the LDS Church can not be accepted as the one and only true church and the teaching of the Bible it clearly denies.
