How do we respond when someone we love leaves the Church?
How can believers and former believers speak to each other with honesty without hatred?
Can interfaith dialogue exist inside families, friendships, and marriages?

In the second half of this conversation with Jared Halverson, we discuss one of the most emotional and difficult realities many people face today: navigating relationships when faith changes.

Jared also shares his powerful and moving testimony at the end of this episode.

It is my hope that this conversation will give us all more tools to be more effective peacemakers in helping one another come unto Christ.

In this episode of Be Faithful, I sit down with Jared Halverson for a conversation about LDS faith, criticisms, and the media portrayals of members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. He dives into the tactics of the antagonistic points of view and how we can respond to take advantage of the unique "Mormon Moment" we are living in. This part 1 is especially useful if you are getting into conversations with others about cults and how to respond if someone accuses you of being in one.

This episode is being split into 2 parts, the second will be released separately.

What is so different about LDS Theology from Mainstream Christianity? Hayden helps break this down for us:

• What is the Trinity?
• What do Latter-day Saints believe about the Godhead?
• Is the Trinity actually found in the Bible?
• How does LDS theology solve the problem of evil?

Hayden shares his experience studying theology, debating different Christian beliefs, and explaining why he believes the restored gospel offers clearer answers about the nature of God.

This was a really fun conversation that dives deep into doctrine, philosophy, and truth.

📌 Topics covered:
Trinity explained, Godhead vs Trinity, LDS beliefs, Mormon theology, problem of evil, agency, free will, Christianity vs Mormonism, nature of God, biblical doctrine, faith discussions
