  • S1.E27: How LDS Theology Solves Creedal Christianity’s Biggest Problems | ft. Hayden Carroll
    Apr 26 2026

    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

  • S1.E26: What Most People Get Wrong About Joseph Smith | with church historian Ronald Barney.
    Apr 12 2026

    What really happens when you spend decades studying Joseph Smith?

    In this episode of Be Faithful, I sit down with historian Ron Barney, who has dedicated nearly 50 years to researching the life and teachings of Joseph Smith—including his work on the Joseph Smith Papers Project.

    We dive deep into some of the most asked (and often misunderstood) questions:

    • Did studying Joseph Smith ever challenge his faith?
    • What is the truth about polygamy and early Church history?
    • How should we approach difficult or controversial topics?
    • Can you study everything—and still believe?


    I learned so much in this conversation, I am so excited to share it with you. Ron's testimony and knowledge is refreshing and faith strengthening.

  • S1.E25: Christ's Path to The Cross - Explaining The Via Dolorosa in Jerusalem | An Easter Special with author Dr. Trina Boice
    Mar 29 2026

    In this Easter-focused episode we dive into the final hours of Jesus Christ's life and explore the sacred path known as the Via Dolorosa—the road He walked from condemnation to crucifixion through Jerusalem.


    Joined by author Dr. Trina Boice, we discuss the historical, spiritual, and deeply symbolic significance of this path, often called “The Way of Suffering.” Together, we reflect on what Jesus endured—His trial before Pontius Pilate, the crown of thorns, carrying the cross, His falls, and ultimately His crucifixion and resurrection.

    This episode will help you:

    • Understand the 14 Stations of the Cross (Via Dolorosa)
    • Deepen your Easter observance and connection to Jesus Christ
    • Reflect on the Atonement and sacrifice of Christ
    • Learn how to make Easter more meaningful for you and your family
    • See how Christians around the world honor Jesus in Jerusalem today

    It is my hope this conversation will bring you closer to Christ and help you truly ponder His sacrifice this easter season.
