The Pink Apostle

What if you thought you were a Christian—but were actually living lukewarm? In this episode of The Pink Apostle, I share a deeply personal testimony about the moment God revealed that my faith had become cultural rather than surrendered. After leaving the LDS church and believing I had found biblical Christianity, I spent years doing all the “right” things—reading my Bible, going to church, prayin...

Is salvation really connected to what’s in your mug? In this episode of The Pink Apostle, we take a close look at the LDS Word of Wisdom—a teaching that governs daily life and determines worthiness within Mormonism—and compare it carefully with the Word of God. We explore how a revelation originally given “not by commandment or constraint” became a requirement for temple worthiness and exaltation,...

What are baptisms for the dead—and does the Bible actually support them?  In this conversation, Katie is joined by Karli Lyman (creator of ExMormon Bible Study ) to examine the LDS doctrine of baptisms for the dead through Scripture, history, and the gospel of grace .  This episode unpacks why salvation is not transferable, how works-based systems burden believers, and why Christ’s finished work i...

Today’s episode is about worthiness : what it meant for me growing up LDS, what the temple recommend questions actually ask, and how all of that compares to the freedom we have in Jesus. This conversation is close to my heart because, when I was Mormon, I lived and breathed the idea of being “worthy.” Worthy of God’s love, worthy of my temple recommend, worthy of eternal life. But in Christ, I’ve...

What does Disney’s Tangled have to do with the Bible and the LDS church? In this conversation, my friend Juanita Longenbach (biblical Christian, former Utah resident, and certified Master Splankna® practitioner) shares the Tangled illustration she developed years ago—an analogy that helped me personally when I first left Mormonism. We unpack how words like “Jesus” and “gospel” can sound the same b...

HEART CHECK CARD: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1EJBywSEyGEyaiTuD8RxntTXFTXxCP7HQQ15wR1KO1ZI/edit?usp=sharing “I know your works: you are neither cold nor hot. Would that you were either cold or hot! So, because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of my mouth.” — Revelation 3:15–16 Jesus doesn’t sugarcoat it—lukewarm faith is dangerous. But here’s the truth: I live...

What is grace—really? In this conversation, Dr. Derwin Gray (lead pastor of Transformation Church, former NFL player, and author) helps us trade striving for surrender. We unpack the difference between grace and earning, why “Jesus already scored 100” changes our daily lives, and how the Holy Spirit forms Christ in us (sanctification). We talk about assurance (“no condemnation”), what James means...

In this episode of The Pink Apostle Podcast , we continue our deep dive into the roots of LDS temple theology and turn our focus to the priesthood. The LDS Church claims its priesthood is a restoration of something ancient and biblical. But when we hold that claim up to the light of Scripture, we see a different story: 👉 The biblical priesthood was always pointing forward to Jesus. 👉 His priesth...

For years, the LDS temple was the very center of my faith. I believed its ordinances were the key to eternal life, my family’s salvation, and my worthiness before God. But when I compared LDS temple teachings to Scripture—and discovered their ties to Freemasonry—everything changed. In this episode of The Pink Apostle Podcast, I share my personal journey and explore: - The surprising historical con...

Today we’re laying the foundation for our Bible study through the Gospel of Matthew. We’ll talk about who Matthew was, why his gospel matters, and how he shows us Jesus as the long-awaited Messiah.

Today on the Pink Apostle Podcast, I’m sharing how I went from doubting the Bible’s reliability to seeing overwhelming evidence that it’s the real deal. Coming out of the LDS church, I had to dig deep—and what I found changed everything. We’ll cover: ✅ Common objections to the Bible’s trustworthiness ✅ Manuscript and archaeological evidence ✅ Fulfilled prophecy and eyewitness testimony ✅ Why t...

What happens when you apply forensic investigation methods to faith? In this powerful episode, I sit down with J. Warner Wallace—former atheist, cold-case detective, and author of Cold Case Christianity—to talk about why evidence is a key factor when it comes to our faith. Jim didn’t just become a Christian—he also examined the claims of the LDS church and found them lacking. He explains why a cha...

Welcome back to The Pink Apostle Podcast ! If you haven’t listened to Part 1 yet, hit pause and go check out Episode 5 —we laid the groundwork by unpacking the origin of LDS exaltation and how it contrasts with the gospel of grace found in Scripture.

In today’s episode, we dig into one of the most critical differences between LDS doctrine and the Bible: Is the goal of eternal life to become like God (exaltation)? Or is it something far better — being reconciled to Him through Jesus? We examine LDS teachings on exaltation as found in Gospel Principles Chapter 47: Exaltation ( official LDS site ) and compare them to the true gospel found in Scri...

In this episode, we take a deep dive into the LDS "Plan of Salvation" and ask the hard questions and break down the core differences between the LDS plan and the biblical gospel by exploring ideas like: Is God’s desire for us to become like Him… or be in relationship with Him? What is eternal life according to the Bible? Does salvation lead to exaltation, or is that a distortion of the gospel? Is...

In this powerful episode of The Pink Apostle, we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the most important—and often misunderstood—truths in the conversation between Mormonism and Biblical Christianity: The Jesus of the LDS Church is not the same as the Jesus revealed in Scripture. I share my heart, my story, and the Scriptures that opened my eyes after decades in the LDS Church. We walk through ex...

In this episode of The Pink Apostle , we dig deep into the beautiful truth of who God is—not a man made of flesh and bone, but the eternal, unchanging, holy Spirit who existed before time began. We explore what Scripture reveals about God's divine nature, His complete otherness from us, and what that means for our identity, our purpose, and our worship. This is a freeing, faith-building remind...
