Why You Can Stop Doubting the Bible (Pursuit 02)

God Loves Even Jack Mormons (Pursuit 01)

Today we start a 12-week series on what it means to follow Jesus. The biblical answer is very different than the Mormon answer, as you'll see in today's conversation with Bo and KD. God promises that those who make a genuine commitment to pursue him will find him (Jeremiah 29:13). Do you believe that? Do you think it could be true for you? Find the full series at www.pursueGOD.org/mormonism. Email questions to podcast@pursueGOD.org.Mentioned in this episode:Donate Now
