Dr. Travis Kerns is one of the leading evangelical scholars in the area of Mormon history and theology. He is also a missionary with the North American Mission Board and serves in Salt Lake City.

The state of Utah is the least-reached state in the United States, comprised of a 2% evangelical population. And within this state, an urban context such as Provo-Orem is only 0.5% evangelical.

Check out our conversation. We discuss Mormon beliefs and the Mormon Church’s desire to become recognized as part of mainstream Christianity. Travis also shares about his forthcoming book: The Saints of Zion.
