Leaving behind false traditions in search of the true Jesus

  • God Leads People who are Prone to Stiffneckedness

    The title of this post comes from The Bible Recap video for Exodus 36-37. God was with the Israelites in the wilderness for 40 years. This was after they sinned against him! But Moses pled on their behalf (hear my thoughts on this here). This week, I conversed with someone on social media about God… Continue reading

  • I FINALLY DID IT!!!

    That podcast and post about Gnosticism really sealed the deal for me! I have felt a huge surge of certainty since then. Glory to God! The masonry is in the TRASH! Continue reading

  • My Seat Will Be Empty

    This post may be unkind, but sometimes ya gotta rant. I have a family member I’ve struggled with for many years. For saying really dumb things. A mutual friend just told me about her testimony in church about another family member who passed away in poor standing with the church, who had never received her… Continue reading

  • I Think it’s Officially Time

    …to let go of the Book of Mormon. Let me explain. Just one month ago, I told you how I was still open to the Book of Mormon somehow being true, even though I’ve already come to reject Joseph Smith. But today something hit. We recorded two totally unrelated podcast episodes today, and coincidentally they… Continue reading

  • Having the Faith to Claim What’s Not Ours

    I have no memory of hearing this scripture in my “former life.” It really shocked me when I found it. Here’s Matthew 15: 21 Leaving that place, Jesus withdrew to the region of Tyre and Sidon. 22 A Canaanite woman from that vicinity came to him, crying out, “Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me! My daughter is… Continue reading

  • Is Gandhi Saved?

    I’ve been listening to a lot of Mike Winger lately. I like him, I do. But I kind of don’t. He reminds me a lot of Matt Walsh—they look alike, and both are very harsh and dogmatic in their approach and in their perspective toward those who differ from them. I like that sort of… Continue reading

  • Mid January a Year Ago

    A year ago, I was thinking of Christianity with new eyes. A year ago, I was attending the LDS temple but looking with new eyes, asking a lot of questions, and wondering what was true. A year ago, I was reading the Book of Mormon with fresh eyes, and listing many scriptures that contradicted LDS… Continue reading

  • Is the LDS Church the New Testament Church?

    With some among us claiming to be “the restored church” from ancient times, it would behoove us to do a little study on what the New Testament church looked like. My friend today told me she believes in the “restored ordinances of the LDS church.” I looked all through the New Testament trying to figure… Continue reading

  • A Tale of Two Women

    I’m reading the Bible chronologically using the You Version app, along with Bible Reset commentary. Interesting way to study, and I’m so excited to get away from the LDS materials that just keep parroting back to covenant path and temples and priesthood. Let’s get a fresh take where we can think afresh and not be… Continue reading

  • Polygamy: a God of Order and Purpose

    This is the eighth in a series. You can read the first here, the second here, the third here, the fourth here, the fifth here, the sixth here, the seventh here. When we look at the creation story, we see that everything God does has a purpose. He created a firmament to separate waters. He created land separate from waters to… Continue reading
