This week, we bring you Part 1 of Erik’s powerful Jesus Is Enough story of growing up in Mormonism—and the unexpected early glimpse he got into grace.

Raised by devout Latter-day Saint parents, Erik’s childhood was steeped in the culture, expectations, and structure of Mormon life. But when a classroom “cash” crisis meets his mom’s creative intervention, Erik is introduced to something entirely different: an undeserved gift that he did not—and could not—earn. What seemed at first like a questionable parenting decision turned out to be a vivid parable of the gospel’s scandalous beauty.

Alongside Erik’s story, Mark and Molly Parsons offer meaningful reflections for Christian listeners. They invite us to see Erik’s journey not only as a testimony of grace breaking through but as a way to grow in empathy, understanding, and gospel-centered boldness when talking with Mormon friends. You’ll also hear how the LDS church’s increased focus on the Bible is opening unexpected doors—and how a discarded book (The Miracle of Forgiveness) signaled Erik’s growing awareness of the true message of Jesus.

This episode is a must-listen for Christians who want to bridge the gap between theological knowledge and a genuine heart for those still trapped in a works-based system.

Tune in and be reminded: grace isn’t earned—it’s received.
