My New Life
I am a former member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, (Mormons) and have since converted to Christianity. This Podcast is for my Mormon friends and The LDS Church in general to help them see how I now see the Bible and Christ versus how I used to think and how and why I made the transition. It has been a journey to get here, with lots of highs and a few lows. Going from factually knowing the LDS Church not only isn't true, but impossible to be true and finding the truth in God's word, the Bible.
