How LDS Beliefs Are Reshaping Modern Christianity | Terryl Givens (Shortened Version)

The Restoration is not the filling of a bucket, but like a fire emerging from the wilderness. This is a shortened version of last week's full episode with Terryl Givens. The sections covered talk mostly about the restoration and how LDS theology is becoming more widely accepted. In this episode, scholar Terryl Givens explores what was truly lost in Christian history and how restoring the nature of God’s love changes everything. In this episode of Be Faithful, Terryl Givens—Neal A. Maxwell Research Fellow and author of The God Who Weeps and The Crucible of Doubt—shares insights from his upcoming book on Christian history. Together, we discuss apostasy, restoration, the Gospel of John, the nature of God, love vs. power, and how early Christianity slowly drifted from Christ’s original vision. This conversation is for anyone wrestling with faith, Christian doctrine, LDS theology, deconstruction, or a desire to understand God more deeply—without fear-based religion. 📖 Topics discussed: • The nature of God • Christian apostasy & restoration • Love as the core of Christianity • The Gospel of John • Early Christian history • LDS theology & mainstream Christianity • Terryl Givens’ upcoming book 🔔 Subscribe for more faith-centered conversations exploring truth, discipleship, and spiritual depth. 00:00 – Are People Dissociating With Christianity? 06:00 – The Continuing of the Restoration 12:40 – Reinvestigated LDS Theology #christiantheology #christianhistory #jesuschrist #mormon #thechurchofjesuschristoflatterdaysaints To contact Be Faithful email: [email protected]
