My New Life

Religion EN ↓ 93 episodes

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.

Mike and Emilee DeFries Story 03.08.2024

Christ paid the price for all sins, past, present and future. This can never be taken away from us once we turn our lives over to Christ. Once that conversion takes place, our walk with Christ begins. Mike and Emilee's story is a beautiful one, a journey of salvation. This journey has changed their lives and changed Mike's direction of his vocation to that of the ministry. I hope you enjoy...

How Do You Know if You Are Saved 28.06.2024

As a former member of the LDS Church, I looked at Christianity as way too easy. Simply accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior and that is it? What about future sins? No rules or obedience requirements, nothing, no works? Sounds like a fantasy but is it really? Today's message is about how salvation changed my life and actions, not for works, but for acceptance as a sinner and the changes...

Dale Gillaspy Conversion to Christianity Story 31.05.2024

Dale story is amazing. There are so many in the LDS Church right now, who either know the Church isn't true or questions regarding the History and Doctrine that just don't make sense. Dale concluded this on his own and found his way to being a follower of Christ. Listen in and enjoy!

A Discussion on Grace Part 2 with Pastor Ray McCormick 20.05.2024

Part 2 of A Discussion on Grace is out now! Would God ever contradict himself? Would he lead the way to salvation for His Church a different way other than what is stated in the Bible? If you are saved by Grace, as the Bible says, then there is no other way to salvation. Listen in as Pastor Ray McCormick and Mac McDonald discuss Grace and how it is the only key to Salvation.

A Discussion on Grace Part 1 with Pastor Ray McCormick 15.05.2024

Growing up LDS, I thought I knew what Grace, it was the Love of Christ for us. That is just the beginning, God has Mercy on us because even though we are sinners, all of us, He sent His Son, Jesus Christ to die for our sins, so that the barrier between man and God was broken, and through His Grace, we can return to live with God after we die. God's Grace is unconditional and irrevocable, a fre...

A Discussion on Works 30.04.2024

Getting into a rut of determining what works you can follow and are supposed to follow leads to a serious oversight; what about the sins you commit that are not overt, or even those that are overt and yet you think your works will somehow offset them? Dangerous thinking that your works will somehow supersede your sins and worse, negate Jesus Christ dying on the cross for all of them. Works will ne...

Behind the Lie 11.04.2024

After feeling comforted with the word "inspired", seeing that somethings were confusing regarding Church Doctrine and History I finally felt like I was back into full belief and ready to move forward. That is until I realized, right in front of me was a lie, so obvious, it couldn't be ignored. Once finding this, right in my own Church History Books and even in the Church canon, I cou...

What is Sin? 04.03.2024

Are we born perfect or innocent? Once we seek salvation and choose to follow Christ are we perfect, do we still sin? Is recognition of this sin part of our salvation? Being born and raised LDS I was taught to believe that our quest here on earth was perfection, the closer we were, the better our reward in Heaven would be. I believed the intentions of my heart, the fact that it was pure, or at leas...

Are You Ready Part 2 26.02.2024

The second half of the Are You Ready messages tells the reality of the many works in the Church for salvation. It addresses the "Elephant in The Room", why so many people are leaving the Church, and sadly, leaving God as well. Can the Exodus be stopped? Yes, of course it can, but it will take leadership and courage, courage to change the course of direction to that of a Biblical Church,...

Are You Ready/Why My New Life 20.02.2024

It's back to no script! Todays discussion is both a thank you and an understanding as to Why My New Life and how I was inspired to get the Good News out, to all my LDS friends, even to those I have never met! There is a reason why you found your way to this message, there is a reason you are here! Find out more why.

My New Life Story - Part 3 Accepting God's Grace 31.01.2024

There are two parts to Accepting God's Grace, First, repent of your sins, the old you, the sinner. Second, become a follower of Christ in that you put him first in your life, above all others. This is the essence of My New Life, turning over my life to Christ, reading from His word every day and for the first time, receiving His Holy Spirit, testifying of Him! Every time I read the Bible or li...

My New Life Story - Part 2 Our First Big Move 31.01.2024

The White Mountains is one of the many Jewels in the great state of Arizona. For 12 years, my family and I lived in the White Mountains and were able to meet some amazing people and make many great friends along the way. It was in the White Mountains that I would experience things that would change my life forever and lead me to a great change, a change to a life as a follower of Jesus Christ and...

The Holy Bible 31.01.2024

As a Latter Day Saint, I was taught the Bible was missing many plain and precious truths. After study and research, I found the opposite to be true. The Bible was written by and through the Holy Spirit. It is complete and there are so many resources to reveal its authenticity, facts that prove it is the foundation for all believers in Christ! This message gives archeological, scientific as well as...

The Holy Spirit 18.01.2024

The Gift of the Holy Spirit comes at the point of salvation when you put your faith and trust in Jesus Christ, receiving His forgiveness of sins, then He promises to fill you with His Spirit and that Spirit indwells with you. The Holy Spirit testifies of Jesus Christ and His Word, it is your guide on this earth as a follower of the Savior. In today's message, you will hear of how I once believ...

My New Life Story - Part 1 Growing Up LDS 29.12.2023

My New Life Story Part 1 Growing Up LDS starts with my LDS heritage, where it all started for me. Growing up in the West Phoenix Valley of the Sun, how I met my lovely wife Cheryl, and serving in the Ward and Stake I grew up in. It is a glimpse into the life of your average every day Latter Day Saint. ENJOY!

The Good Person Test 14.12.2023

As a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints we are led to believe our Temple Recommend is our ticket to salvation, based on our works, we will receive our reward. It is a deceptive sense of security. Christ tells us salvation comes through him, not a Church and certainly not through our works. Ask yourself, do you pass the Good Person Test? You may think you do, but you are only...
