Using as a launching pad the Western Christian liturgical calendar celebration of Epiphany (the day recognizing Jesus’s first revelation to Gentiles–in this case, the Magi), this episode is a discussion between LDF host and co-host Dan Wotherspoon and Mark Crego about the importance of being ready at all times and within any group to share our witness with others. As it says in 1 Peter 3:15: “and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you with meekness and fear,” Dan and Mark share how we might be able to do this effectively during or after our faith has shifted because the once easy “I know” responses no longer feel authentic for us.
How do we share what is currently going on with us in language that indicates the “hope” that is still in us? The hosts focus on three situations here: speaking with active LDS family and friends; speaking with friends who want to tear down the church; and speaking with outsiders to our tradition.
We hope you will listen in!
