A former Latter-day Saint shares how to reach your LDS friends and Neighbors, with Lucie Clark

I am so encouraged by Lucie’s testimony as a former LDS. Over the last several months the LORD has brought many YouTubers to my attention of ex-Mormons who usually came out of LDS, but NOT to the Jesus of the Bible. On one hand I rejoiced for their departure, but into other serious deviations from God. Very sad. My husband and I are moving to southern Utah where fundamentalist LDS is. Our church down there ministers to those coming out of LDS. This is new ground for me. I am thankful for the LORD’s training up of me for this new phase of life. I love the concept of inviting LDS women into a casual Bible study and prayer.

I absolutely LOVED this episode and was in tears through much of it. My husband and I were both born in the mormon church, met &married in the temple in our young 20's, had three kids, etc. We ended up coming out of the church when our oldest was 11 after being born-again and coming to the true, real, biblical Jesus. Praise God! There is so much untangling that had to be done to understand God's true gospel of grace. God, in his wisdom, led us to youtubers like Alisa, Mike Winger, Apologia, podcasts like Tim Keller, books, etc. Sooooo very helpful. I also had a lightbulb moment to understand the trinity - it was in reading 'Seeking Allah, Finding Jesus' by Nabeel Quireshi. I LOVED Lucie's talking about prayer and what true prayer looks like. I LOVE praying now, it feels so real, alive, etc. Not sterile like the way I was taught to pray growing up is. I LOVE praying to God, praising him, asking for his guidance, taking my petitions to him, etc.

Excited about this interview. I'm also an ex-mormon turned bible believing christian. We are small in numbers, but I hope this helps many disaffected mormons who are now atheist/agnostic.

I didn’t grow up LDS, I grew up evangelical, but I so relate to what she said! I also had never heard of hermeneutics, never learned apologetics even though I went to a Christian school, and learned to squash all critical thinking! Praise God he led me to good teachers!

I was raised in Mormonism too, it's so cool hearing how others came to know christ, I felt so alone for awhile like I was the only one

I just finished listening to this fabulous episode. First of all, I just want to praise God for His redemptive power and this testimony. Not only is this story highlighting God's grace and love in the life of one lost and confused, it was so enriching to listen to. Lucie has such a way with words - they sort of pour over one's soul. Loved this so much! I also really appreciated the specific discussion of the beliefs of the LDS religion/ comparisons with progressive religion (I don't really want to call it Christianity anymore, because it's not.) Another thing that was a joy for me to hear was the testimony of the faithful solid believers that Lucie was interacting with in the school and the way they interacted with the Bible and prayer before her.. The Discovery Bible study method she mentioned is something we use here (on the mission field where I serve) not only with unsaved people to help them to discover the God of the Bible, but also in our Bible Studies at our church with believers and it has amazing impact - so simple, but helps get to the foundations of the Truth. One other thing I appreciated about what she shared was how she described how these other believers treated her knowing she was a Mormon - Wow! I think there are some lessons there. I don't think this is always the case. Lastly, I just wanted to share how this was meaningful to me on another level. I was raised in the RLDS church and God delivered me from that in my teenage years. It's been an interesting journey living out my Christian faith before my family members who were or still are RLDS. I always rejoice when I hear the testimony of someone delivered from those religions. Praise God! Thank you, Alisa for bringing this testimony to us through your podcast.

I would love a part 2 & 3 to this conversation, which I feel could go for hours. After 35 years of being devot Mormon I left the church in 2020. Lucie’s story aligns with so intimately with my journey that I have listened to this episode 4 times! I’ve signed up for her mailing list and an eagerly awaiting her podcast launch.

This was such a great interview, it brought me to tears! I can relate so much to her testimony, having also come out of a religious upbringing that did not teach the true gospel. Her experience with coming to the realization that all my "good works" were like filthy rags and exactly what Jesus' death had accomplished for me...I too can remember the exact moment that happened for me. Praise God for His deliverance! "What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand."

Excellent conversation with great HOLY SPIRIT insight!!! Thank You for sharing so openly!! May others in the LDS, seek and find Biblical truth that leads them into the LOVING arms of their SAVIOR, JESUS!!! 🙏

Thank you for this episode. I would have loved to have heard how her family responded to her new birth, conversion to Christianity.

Great interview, nothing like when God opens your eyes for the first time

Wow. Fascinating episode. I literally listened to every word and had to stop and rewind a few parts.

Wow! So encouraged to hear that the Christians at this school were so faithful in study, prayer, and community!

When Alyssa drew the comparison between Mormonism and Progressive Christianity my mind went to the time I heard Dallas Jenkins, creator of "The Chosen" say that he loves the same Jesus as his Mormon friends. That could be true if he is a Progressive Christian.

Wow...what a powerful testimony. It took me 3 days to listen! I loved how she encourages Christians to think about how to share a salvation testimony. What are the saving elements? Where did I hear the Gospel? What IS the Gospel? Love this.

As someone interested in history, one important difference between orthodox Christianity and the LDS church to me is that in orthodox Christianity, while we believe in miracles and specific events that the wider world may not find credible, the broad historical context of the Bible aligns with what is generally universally agreed upon about history (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, Babylon, Persia, Greece, Rome, etc.). Can't say the same when it comes to what the Book of Mormon claims about North American history with Nephites, Lamanites, etc.

My community has a very large LDS population and I know many. My teen daughters know quite a few Mormons and have been asking about the differences between LDS beliefs and the truth of God's Word. I've been honest that I'm not sure about most of the differences. Where we lived prior to moving here 2.5 years ago, I didn't know any Mormons (though there was a local LDS church) and never took time to educate myself on what they believe. This has been very helpful and prompted me to learn about their belief system so I can find opportunities to share Christ and the true Gospel with them. Thank you!

I had the privilege with meeting with LDS missionaries for more than a year. The church abruptly ended it. I'm grieving the loss. I have learned to love my LDS friends and I mourn that they are bound by religion and need freedom by grace. Feeling so sad. I want to reach these people.

I'm former mormon. I have the sweetest friend that to me is an angel. She is LDS, but there's times she isn't happy being single and trying to hold up to expectations of that religion. I will watch this to maybe pick up some tips if I ever get to engage with her more about such things.

Great testimony. HATE the disruptive ads!
