This week, we bring you Part 3 of Erik’s compelling Jesus is Enough story—his journey from devoted Mormon missionary to a man gripped by the beauty and truth of the biblical gospel.

While serving his mission, Erik is offered a rare opportunity to study in Jerusalem. Eager to deepen his Mormon faith in the very land where Jesus walked, he dives into the experience with enthusiasm. But as he begins comparing the Bible to the Book of Mormon, cracks appear. Discrepancies between Jesus’ words in the New Testament and LDS teachings spark unsettling questions. What started as an exciting faith-affirming trip becomes an eye-opening confrontation with the truth—and with the Savior Himself.

Following Erik’s story, Mark and Molly Parsons reflect on the surprising role an NIV Bible played in his journey, and why modern translations can be so significant for Latter-day Saints accustomed only to the King James Version. They explore how the Bible’s unflinching honesty about human brokenness stands in stark contrast to the sanitized narratives many Mormons are taught, and how that raw truth elevates God’s grace rather than human achievement. You’ll also hear their insights on the deep, multi-layered nature of Scripture—and why creating opportunities for LDS friends to encounter God’s Word is one of the most powerful things Christians can do.

This episode will challenge and encourage you to trust the transformative power of Bible, and to see how God uses even unexpected detours to lead people to the realization that grace can’t be earned—only received.
