Out of Mormonism's Podcast

Andy Poland, the host of Out of Mormonism and general manager of Concerned Christians, tells his story of how he left the Mormon church. He also explains the ministry of Concerned Christian and how Jim and Judy Robertson started it. Andy tells how Concerned Christians reached out to Him and his family during their transition out of Mormonism. 

In this episode, Brian explains why the Mainstream Mormon church cannot successfully separate itself from its polygamous past. In addition, Brian explains what blood atonement is and why he felt righteous justification in planning to kill his own father. As Brian’s story takes surprising twists and turns, Brian relates that his journey out of Mormonism began when he became one of Fundamentalism’s “lost boys.”

Brian describes his journey out of Fundamentalist Mormonism. Brian's story was not anything I expected. Brian grew up in Salt Lake City in the FLDS church rather than some remote compound. He played football with Warren Jeffs as a kid right there in the Salt Lake Valley. In this episode, Brian explains why Fundamentalist Mormons still practice polygamy. He also addresses the question - Who is more closely following the teachings of Joseph Smith and Brigham Young, the Fundamentalists or the mainstream LDS church? Brian also describes what his life was like living in a polygamous household.

Coming to Christ does not always mean being confronted with the incorrect doctrine of Mormonism. Kristine explains that she found a loving relationship with Christ, because Christians in her life demonstrated the love of God. Kristine finally understood what free grace was when her Christian pastor explained unconditional love from the biblical Book of James. Since she has come to faith in Jesus her new life has meaning and direction that she could not find in Mormonism.
