What happens when someone raised deep inside Mormonism discovers the true Gospel of Jesus Christ? In this episode of Cultish, Andrew Soncrant sits down with Braden Patterson, a former Latter-day Saint who grew up in a generational Mormon family, prepared for a mission, and was fully committed to the LDS faith. Today, Braden serves as a Reformed Baptist pastor and proclaims the Gospel he once opposed. Braden shares his upbringing in Mormonism, growing up in Idaho, his family's deep LDS roots, being baptized at age eight, preparing for missionary service, and the questions that eventually led him to examine the truth claims of Mormonism more closely. Along the way, he discusses Mormon culture, the burden of works-based righteousness, the search for truth, and the grace of God that ultimately opened his eyes to the biblical Gospel. This is a powerful testimony of God's sovereignty, saving grace, and the freedom found in Christ alone. Be Part of the Mission to Change Lives: HERE SHOP OUR MERCH: HERE
