About this listen

Top differences, spelled out in a highly listenable, fast-paced podcast.

In this episode of The Thinking Faith Broadcast, Beau and Jerry Chevassus examine Mormonism (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) alongside historic, biblical Christianity by comparing official LDS teachings with Scripture itself. The conversation focuses on doctrine — the things Christianity has always considered essential.

Using LDS scriptures and authoritative writings (including Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, Doctrine & Covenants, Journal of Discourses, and Mormon Doctrine), the discussion contrasts those claims with the Bible to explore where Mormon theology and Christianity fundamentally diverge.

This episode covers core differences such as:

  • The nature of God: one eternal God vs. a plurality of gods
  • Whether God is an eternal Spirit or an exalted man with a physical body
  • Who Jesus is: eternally God or one of many gods
  • The Trinity vs. separate divine beings
  • Salvation by grace through faith vs. grace conditioned on personal righteousness
  • Human destiny: adoption as God’s children vs. humans becoming gods
  • Authority: Christ as the final revelation vs. the need for a living prophet

Many conversations between Christians and Mormons stall because shared language hides deeply different meanings. This episode aims to bring those differences into the open — honestly, respectfully, and without pretending they don’t matter.

Apologetics vs. Real-World Questions is where Christian faith meets honest, unscripted conversation.
Not to win arguments — but to test whether Christianity actually holds up.
