Ep 725 | Leaving Mormonism for Christianity | Guest: Lynn Wilder

Today we’re joined by Lynn Wilder, author of Unveiling Grace: The Story of How We Found Our Way out of the Mormon Church and host of the “Unveiling Grace” podcast, who is sharing her story of finding Christ and leaving the Mormon church. We discuss her introductions to the Mormon church and what led her to not just join, but become deeply involved in Mormon community. We look at some general Mormon doctrine, such as what Mormons believe about the Bible and God’s unchanging nature. Lynn shares the instances that led to the breaking down of her Mormon faith, from teaching at BYU to hearing her son’s salvation story. We discuss Mormon influence over Christian homeschool curricula and media and some questions we should ask about this. Then, Lynn shares the gospel that changed her life. --- Timecodes: (01:05) Interview with Lynn begins (02:30) Upbringing and joining the LDS church (12:45) Mormon doctrine / theology (23:17) Reasons for leaving (33:07) Lynn's son is saved (40:57) John 1 (50:00) Mormons in culture (01:00:34) Deflection / "milk before meat" (01:05:58) The gospel --- Today's Sponsors: Annie's Kit Clubs — all subscriptions are month-to-month, and you can cancel anytime!
