This week on Jesus Is Enough, we bring you Part 1 of Emilie’s compelling story of leaving Mormonism after 39 years and discovering the life-changing truth of Jesus.

Raised in a devout Latter-day Saint home, Emilie spent decades striving to be perfect—perfectly obedient, perfectly righteous, perfectly enough to earn God’s favor. Her faith was measured in works, her worth tied to performance, and the weight of perfectionism pressed heavily on her every day. She believed that only by cleaning herself up and achieving a certain level of righteousness could she approach God.

But as Emilie’s story unfolds, God begins to show her that salvation is not something she can earn. Through the lens of her upbringing, Emilie’s journey highlights the contrast between striving under the law and resting in the grace of Jesus. Her story is a vivid reminder that God’s love isn’t transactional—it’s freely given.

Mark and Molly Parsons offer reflections that guide listeners to understand Emilie’s experience, helping Christians cultivate empathy and courage when engaging with friends still bound by works-based faith. They explore how Mormon teachings on obedience and “blessings earned” can trap believers in a cycle of performance, and how the perfect obedience of Christ offers true freedom.

Tune in and be reminded: you don’t have to earn God’s favor—Jesus is enough.

This week, we bring you the final chapter of Erik’s Jesus is Enough story—a journey of healing, grace, and new beginnings.

After navigating the pain of divorce and the upheaval of his former life, Erik begins to embrace his new reality. In the midst of uncertainty, he encounters someone whose life demonstrates the unearned grace of God in a way he had never seen before—showing him that even those who feel most undeserving are fully known and fully loved. For Erik, this realization marks a turning point, as he leans fully into faith in Jesus Christ rather than relying on performance or self-effort.

Following Erik’s story, Mark and Molly Parsons reflect on the profound power of grace, especially in contexts—like Mormonism—where it is often misunderstood or overlooked. They discuss how God meets broken people in their need, offering hope and transformation, and how true faith isn’t about control or checklist obedience, but about surrender to Christ.

This episode is a powerful conclusion to Erik’s story, reminding us that grace doesn’t just cover our past mistakes—it opens the door to new chapters, new relationships, and a life built on the unshakable foundation of Jesus.

This week, we bring you Part 4 of Erik’s Jesus is Enough story—a chapter marked by unexpected loss, raw questions, and surprising encounters with grace.

Life was unfolding according to plan—until it wasn’t. When a personal crisis shakes the foundation of his carefully built world, Erik finds himself angry, disoriented, and searching for answers. A support group of unlikely companions becomes a refuge, and one man’s messy-yet-hope-filled life gives Erik a living example of grace in action. It’s here, in the middle of pain and uncertainty, that Erik begins to see the difference between a works-based checklist and the gospel’s unearned gift.

Following Erik’s story, Mark and Molly Parsons unpack the cultural backdrop—how pop culture portrayals of Mormonism can open doors (and landmines) in conversations, why archaeological claims about the Book of Mormon often collapse on their own, and the importance of building a solid trust in the Bible rather than just dismantling LDS teachings. They also explore how Mormon views of marriage and “eternal families” can intensify the pain of divorce—and why the LDS answer of “do more” falls short of the hope and comfort found in the Bible. Finally, they reflect on how God often uses deeply broken people to display the beauty of his grace, just as he did for Erik through an unexpected friend.

This episode is a powerful reminder that grace doesn’t wait for our lives to be in order—it meets us in the wreckage, offering hope, healing, and a new foundation in Christ.
