    T2H Episode 14, “Responding to the Mormon Missionary Message: Asking Questions" Part Two: Ross Anderson

    In this episode of Transition to Hope, we get to interview Dr. Ross Anderson. Pastor Anderson is one of the authors of the recently published book, Responding to the Mormon Missionary Message: Asking Questions. Ross Anderson, DMin, was born in Utah and was raised LDS. After leaving Mormonism as a young adult, he earned a Master of Divinity degree and a Doctor of Ministry degree. Anderson has served as a church planter and pastor in Utah for four decades. He taught at Salt Lake Theological Seminary and served as a denominational church planting director for the region. Ross is currently a teaching pastor at Alpine Church. He is the executive director of Utah Advance Ministries and founder of the Faith after Mormonism project and the Culture-Wise podcast. Ross is author of Understanding the Book of Mormon, Understanding Your Mormon Neighbor, and Jesus without Joseph – a study guide for former Mormons. He and his wife, Sally, are parents to five adult children. Transition 2 Hope offers brief discussions of questions on the shelves of thinking members and former members of the Latter-day Saints (LDS) Church, as well as interviews of thinkers who interact respectfully with LDS members and former members. Questions are addressed from the perspective of a questioning LDS Church members, and also from the perspective of the bishop, stake president, Relief Society officers, CES teacher or leader or other mid-level leader charged with stemming the flow of people leaving the church. Most people who leave the LDS church become agnostics or atheists. We focus on why people believe what they believe at various points on their faith journey or faith crisis. Our theme: "Don't give up on God."

    T2H Episode 13: Interview with Corey Miller - Responding to the Mormon Missionary Message: Asking Questions

    Should Bible-believing Christians spend time with missionaries of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, allowing the LDS missionaries to walk through their “Preach My Gospel” lesson plans aimed at converting non-Mormons? Many New Testament Christians would emphatically say, No. Citing New Testament passages like 2 John 1:7 and Romans 16:17, many Christians would choose to turn away LDS missionaries who come knocking on their door. Other Christians might prayerfully take another tack. They might invite the LDS missionaries into their homes, and listen attentively (not just politely) to the lesson plans. Not necessarily with the intent to forcibly argue with every point of doctrine or Biblica interpretation, but, instead, to ask good questions. Knowledgeable, well-placed questions that can often lead to the opportunity to explore the truth claims of Jesus Christ and the Bible. Questions that might help the LDS missionaries sort out the LDS truth claims when they eventually (inevitably?) begin to experience their own faith crisis. For those Christians who consider the arrival of LDS missionaries to be an opportunity to provide answers for the true hope within us (1 Peter 3:15), knowledgeable, well-placed questions might seem difficult to construct or articulate. Not to worry. The book Responding to the Mormon Missionary Message: Confident Conversations with Mormon Missionaries (and Other Latter-day Saints) serves as an invaluable resource for Christians who want to have friendly-but-firm conversations with the young men or women who have left their homes to bring their message to your door. Everything the LDS missionaries will try to teach is provided … along with excellent suggestions for insightful questions that can lead to Christ-honoring conversations. Corey Miller is an editor and one of the lead authors of Responding to the Mormon Missionary Message. It is our privilege to have a short conversation with Dr. Miller in this Transition to Hope interview.

    T2H Episode 12: PART THREE of Interview with Author Eric Johnson (Introducing Christianity to Mormons)

    Is Mormonism "Christian" in the same sense that biblically-based New Testament Christianity is "Christian"? Many members (including many leaders) of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints seem to think so. Actually, the doctrines, beliefs and teachings of the LDS Church are very much at odds with biblical Christianity. We saw this during our seven "fireside" discussions (available on YouTube or at our website, www.transition2hope.org). During those firesides, we walked through the main points of Eric Johnson's book, Introducing Christianity to Mormons: A Practical and Comparative Guide to What the Bible Teaches. We had a chance to discuss this book with the author, Eric Johnson. The interview is in three parts, and is available on YouTube and on our website: www.transition2hope.org Eric is a frequent podcaster at the "Viewpoint on Mormonism" podcast and radio show, available at www.mrm.org He has authored, co-authored or edited several other books on the subject of Mormonism (also available at www.mrm.org ... along with many informative articles).

    T2H Episode 9: Adam and Eve in a Nutshell (Part Two)

    Why do humans often seem to have innate tendencies to be selfish, aggressive, or rebellious toward authority? On the other hand, why do humans often strive to be godly or godlike, often through religious systems like the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints? The Bible answers these two (seemingly opposite) questions with a story. The story of Adam and Eve. Transition to Hope Episodes 8 and 9 unpack this story, and its relevance to faith (and faith crisis) today. Episode 8 (Adam and Eve in a Nutshell, Part One), explores the idea of the emergence of the human race and its broken relationship with God. Episode 9 (Adam and Eve in a Nutshell, Part Two) considers whether “the Fall” as described in Genesis 3 was an “upward” fall (enabling godlikeness) or a “downward” fall (ultimately requiring intervention and redemption by God). Along the way, these two episodes consider the extent to which discussions about timelines, genetics and genealogies (e.g., Mormon Stories Episode 1620) are red herrings that distract from the theological, philosophical, sociological and psychological significance of the story of Adam and Eve.
