    Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: Abraham

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Aaron, Ethan, Noah, and Caleb—continue their Christ in the Old Testament series on the Witnessing Christ Podcast, walking through Genesis 18–22. As Latter-day Saints follow the Come, Follow Me reading plan, this episode helps Christians engage those same chapters and clearly see how they point to Jesus Christ. In this section of Genesis, the team explores Abraham’s intercession for Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot’s rescue from destruction, the sobering account of Lot’s family, Abraham’s repeated failures, the long-awaited birth of Isaac, and the powerful testing on Mount Moriah. Throughout it all, one theme remains clear: God’s faithfulness does not depend on human perfection. The interns wrestle honestly with difficult passages—Lot’s hesitation, Lot’s wife, Abraham’s deception, and the testing of Isaac—while highlighting the gospel thread woven through every chapter. From the mercy shown to Lot, to the substitute ram caught in the thicket, to the promised offspring through whom all nations will be blessed, the story repeatedly echoes the life, death, and resurrection of Christ. In this episode, you’ll hear: How Lot’s rescue reveals God’s mercy despite human weakness.Why righteousness is rooted in faith, not flawless behavior.How God works good even through deeply broken situations.The difference between biblical testing and LDS views of mortal probation.The powerful parallels between Isaac and Jesus on Mount Moriah.Why the ram as substitute points directly to Christ as our sacrifice.How Genesis 22 reinforces God’s unconditional promise of blessing through the promised Seed.Practical questions to help guide gospel conversations with LDS friends and family.This episode reminds listeners that the story of Abraham is not ultimately about heroic obedience, but about a faithful God who keeps His promises. From Sodom to Moriah, from Isaac’s birth to the substitute sacrifice, these chapters point forward to Jesus—the true promised Son who carries the wood, becomes the substitute, and through whom all nations are blessed.

    Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: Abram's Righteousness

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb, Aaron, Ethan, and Noah—reunite on the Witnessing Christ Podcast to continue their series, Christ in the Old Testament, by turning to the story of Abram in Genesis chapters 12–17. As Latter-day Saints study this section of Scripture, this episode helps Christians walk alongside those readings and clearly see how God’s promises point forward to Jesus Christ.  In this episode, the interns focus on Abram before his name is changed to Abraham, highlighting God’s unilateral promises and the covenant that depends entirely on God’s action—not Abram’s obedience. They trace God’s repeated “I will” statements, showing how Abram is chosen not because of his faithfulness or righteousness, but purely by God’s grace.  Listeners are taken honestly through Abram’s failures—his fear, deception, and attempts to take God’s promises into his own hands—before arriving at one of the most important verses in the Old Testament: Genesis 15:6, where Abram believes the Lord, and God credits it to him as righteousness. From there, the conversation connects directly to the New Testament explanation in Romans 4, where Paul shows that Abram’s righteousness comes by faith alone, apart from works.  In this episode, you’ll hear:  Why God’s covenant with Abram is a one-sided promise rooted in grace.How Abram’s sins highlight God’s faithfulness, not Abram’s worthiness.What it means for righteousness to be credited, not earned.Why faith is not a work, but trust in God’s promise.How Romans 4 clarifies Genesis 15 for Christians today.Key differences between biblical Christianity and LDS teachings on covenants, faith, and works.Practical questions to help point LDS friends and family to Christ in this section of Genesis. This episode reminds listeners that salvation has always been God’s work. Just as Abram was declared righteous by believing God’s promise, Christians today are declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ—the promised Seed through whom all nations are blessed.

    Mission Trip Debrief: Arizona 2026

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb, Ethan, and Noah—step away from the Christ in the Old Testament series for a special episode of the Witnessing Christ Podcast to reflect on their recent mission trip to Gilbert, Arizona. Joined by students from Martin Luther College and several pastors, the team spent a week engaging members and missionaries of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, with the goal of planting gospel seeds and pointing people to the sufficiency of Christ. In this mission trip debrief, the interns share what it looked like to go door-to-door, engage in gospel conversations, and lovingly challenge LDS assumptions—not through debate, but through Scripture, storytelling, and patience. They unpack the biblical framework behind their outreach, especially the concepts of seed-planting, law and gospel, and “shelf items,” while reflecting on both the encouragements and discouragements that come with this kind of mission work. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why Truth in Love emphasizes seed planting rather than immediate results.How the Parable of the Sower shapes a biblical approach to evangelism.Why the Parable of the Prodigal Sons was central to their door-to-door conversations.How storytelling evangelism opens doors to gospel conversations without confrontation.What “breaking shelves” really means—and why Christ must remain when they fall.Honest reflections on doubt, discouragement, and trusting the Holy Spirit for growth.How this trip strengthened the interns’ own faith and understanding of grace.This episode reminds listeners that witnessing is not about visible success or instant conversions, but about faithfully proclaiming Christ and trusting God to work in His time. Whether planting the first seed, adding another link in the chain, or simply walking alongside someone with questions, God uses His Word to bring sinners from darkness into light.

    Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: Noah and the Flood

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb and Noah—continue the Christ in the Old Testament series on the Witnessing Christ Podcast by turning to one of the most well-known stories in Scripture: Noah and the Flood. As Latter-day Saints study this section of the Old Testament, this episode walks alongside those readings to show how the story of Noah is ultimately about God’s grace and the righteousness that comes by faith in Christ. In this episode, Caleb and Noah explore Genesis 6–9, addressing humanity’s deep corruption, God’s righteous judgment, and His merciful preservation of a remnant. They carefully unpack why Noah is described as “righteous” and “blameless,” showing from Scripture that Noah was not saved because of his obedience, but because of his faith in God’s promise. The ark itself becomes a powerful picture of salvation—God providing the means of rescue while shutting the door Himself. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why Scripture teaches that every human heart is corrupted by sin—including Noah’s.How Noah’s righteousness comes by faith, not works (Hebrews 11:7).The significance of God shutting Noah into the ark—judgment and grace at the same time.How the flood reveals God’s justice without undermining His mercy.Why God’s covenant with Noah is unilateral and grounded entirely in grace.How the rainbow points forward to Christ bearing God’s wrath in our place.Practical ways to discuss Noah, faith, and righteousness with LDS friends and family.This episode reminds listeners that Noah’s story is not ultimately about human obedience, but about a faithful God who saves sinners by grace. Just as Noah trusted in God’s promise, Christians today are declared righteous through faith in Jesus Christ—the true ark of salvation who rescues us from judgment and brings us safely into God’s presence.

    Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: The Fall

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb, Aaron, Ethan, and Noah—continue their takeover of the Witnessing Christ Podcast with the next episode in their new series, Christ in the Old Testament. As Latter-day Saints work through the Old Testament this year, this series walks alongside those readings to show how every chapter ultimately points to Jesus Christ. In this episode, the interns turn to Genesis chapters 3–5, exploring the Fall into sin and its devastating consequences. They unpack Satan’s deception in the Garden, humanity’s loss of innocence, and the immediate effects of sin—shame, blame, separation, and death. But at the center of the Fall is not just bad news. In Genesis 3:15, God makes the first gospel promise, revealing that the Seed of the woman will crush the serpent’s head. The interns show how this promise points directly to Jesus, who comes to undo what Adam destroyed. In this episode, you’ll hear: Why the Fall is a tragic rebellion against God—not a necessary or “good” step forward.How Genesis 3:15 serves as the first clear promise of Christ in Scripture.What Scripture teaches about sin, death, and humanity’s separation from God.Key differences between biblical Christianity and LDS theology regarding the Fall.How Romans 5 explains Jesus as the Second Adam who reverses the curse of sin.Practical ways to use Genesis 3–5 to point LDS friends and family to Christ alone for salvation.This episode reminds listeners that while humanity fell into sin through Adam, God immediately stepped in with a promise of redemption. From the very beginning, salvation is God’s work—fulfilled in Jesus Christ, who restores what was lost in the Fall.

    Witnessing Christ in the Old Testament: In the Beginning...

    The interns from Truth in Love Ministry—Caleb, Aaron, Ethan, and Noah—officially take over the Witnessing Christ Podcast to launch a brand-new series: Christ in the Old Testament. As Latter-day Saints study the Old Testament this year, this series walks alongside those readings to show how every page of Scripture points to Jesus Christ.  In this kickoff episode, the interns dive into Genesis chapters 1 and 2, asking a bold but biblical question: Is Jesus really present in the very beginning? Drawing connections between Genesis and John 1, they show how Christ—the eternal Word—is active in creation, revealing the Triune God at work from the very first verse of the Bible.  In this episode, you’ll hear:  Why Genesis is not a fairy tale, but God’s true and purposeful beginning.How Jesus is present at creation, even though his name isn’t explicitly mentioned.What it truly means to be made in the image of God—and how that image is restored in Christ.Key differences between biblical Christianity and LDS theology regarding creation, Jesus, and humanity.How Genesis 1–2 lays the groundwork for grace, redemption, and the restored creation promised in Revelation.Practical ways to use these chapters to guide gospel conversations with LDS friends and family.This episode sets the foundation for the entire series, reminding listeners that the God who saves in Christ is the same God who spoke the universe into existence—and that the story of redemption begins “In the beginning.” Share this podcast with your Christian friends and subscribe on your favorite podcasting platform!

    Sinner Saint Pt.2

    In this second and concluding episode on Sinner Saint: A Surprising Primer for the Christian Life, Pastor Mark Parsons is joined again by Molly, Noah, Caleb, Aaron, and Ethan to wrestle with the heart of the Christian life: what it really means to live as someone who is fully forgiven and still deeply flawed. This episode centers on the often-forgotten doctrine of imputation—the “great exchange” where Christ takes our sin and credits us with His righteousness—and why this truth is essential for assurance, comfort, and faithful witnessing to Latter-day Saints. From there, the conversation expands into sanctification, common myths about Christian growth, and what real transformation actually looks like in the life of a believer. Key themes include: Why imputation is a status, not a process—and how God truly sees us in Christ.How the gospel answers objections like “cheap grace” and the fear of “couch-potato Christianity.”Why sanctification is God’s work, not a measurable self-improvement project.The difference between growing up spiritually and growing down—deeper into reliance on Jesus.How compassion, not judgment, should define the church’s response to sin.Why wrestling with God, ongoing struggle, and even pain can be signs of spiritual life—not failure.The episode closes with the comforting reminder that while Christians may be great sinners, we have an even greater Savior—and that Jesus truly is the Friend of sinners.
