Recovered File #001
Before The Berean Files existed, there was Salty Saints. In this recovered episode, Zack sits down with Eric Johnson to discuss his book, Introducing Christianity to Mormons.
How can Christians effectively share the gospel with members of the LDS Church? What are the key differences between historic biblical Christianity and Mormon theology? And how can believers approach these conversations with both conviction and compassion?
Drawing from years of research and ministry experience, Eric offers practical insights for understanding Mormon beliefs, identifying important theological distinctions, and keeping Christ at the center of every conversation.
Whether you're witnessing to a Mormon friend, seeking to better understand LDS teachings, or simply interested in apologetics, this conversation provides helpful tools for engaging the topic biblically and graciously.
Topics include:
• Understanding Mormon beliefs • Key differences between Mormonism and Christianity • Effective evangelism and apologetics • Sharing the gospel with grace and truth • Common questions Christians encounter when talking with Mormons
Recovered Files are archived conversations from before The Berean Files era that still contain valuable discussions worth revisiting today.

More from The Berean Files
The headlines feel heavy, and questions about the end times are everywhere. But Jesus didn't call us to panic. He called us to be faithful: to love God with everything we have, to love our neighbor, and to make disciples, teaching others all that He commanded. In this episode, Zack and Jason ask a simple question: if we really are living in the last days, what should change about who we are and how we live today? Growing your own food, raising animals, being ready for hard times? That's great, but it's not the point. The real preparation is walking with God every single day, getting right with the people around us, and letting Him lead our lives. We also talk about the cross that recently fell on a priest and what we should (and shouldn't) read into moments like that. Guest views are their own; Scripture is our final authority.
