So I recently was invited onto a show called the Maybe God Podcast ‪@MaybeGodPodcast‬  to explore if the restored Gospel which many call Mormonism should be considered Christian or not. A few weeks before the interview the host let me know he wanted to bring on an expert on Mormonism, and so he invited Aaron Shaff. A very vocal protestant critic of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints who lives in Utah. Anyway they pressed hard on everything from Book of Mormon to polygamy and in the end it made for an interesting conversation. I hope you enjoy it.

So last month I was involved in an interfaith discussion moderated by the catholic Podcaster Cameron Bertuzzi ‪@CapturingChristianity‬  In it I engaged with the catholic apologist Joe Heshmeyer ‪@shamelesspopery‬  and Protestant Apologist Aaron Shaff. In it we asked each other questions about our different perspectives on different issues and also engage with audience questions as well. Needless to say it made for a very  interesting night. Anyway I hope you enjoy it.

Joe Heschmeyer ‪@shamelesspopery‬ claimed I was dishonest in our debate. Not wanting to leave with bad blood we decided to have a post debate conversation and while we still disagree the results of the conversation might shock you. For the full conversation on ‪@CapturingChristianity‬ please see the link below. https://www.youtube.com/live/Jucha-gw...Note of clarification: Someone brought to my attention a mistake that I made. I quoted the Ravenna document, but I actually was quoting a commentary on the Ravenna document. Essentially, I found a website that had the Ravenna document and commentary on the document as well. I didn’t realize that the quote that I was pulling from was actually from the commentary and not the actual document itself.  With that in mind, I don’t think the Ravenna document was critical to any of my arguments. Anyway I just want people to know that this was an honest mistake and I take full responsibility for it.Our LinksWebsite: http://thoughtfulfaith.orgInstagram:   / thoughtful.faith  TikTok:   / thoughtful.faith  Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1478749DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this video are entirely the opinion of the creator and do not necessarily reflect any officially endorsed positions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or channel sponsors.

In my recent debate with ‪@shamelesspopery‬ on The Great Apostasy we had a question and answer session that did not make it into the final cut due to audio issues. However, the audio issues have been improved drastically and so I am now releasing that section of the debate.Enjoy.  Our LinksWebsite: http://thoughtfulfaith.orgInstagram:   / thoughtful.faith  TikTok:   / thoughtful.faith  Podcast: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1478749DISCLAIMER: The views expressed in this video are entirely the opinion of the creator and do not necessarily reflect any officially endorsed positions of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints or channel sponsors.
