My New Life
by Mac McDonald
I am a former member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, (Mormons) and have since converted to Christianity. This Podcast is for my Mormon friends and The LDS Church in general to help them see how I now see the Bible and Christ versus how I used to think and how and why I made the transition. It has been a journey to get here, with lots of highs and a few lows. Going from factually knowing the LDS Church not only isn't true, but impossible to be true and finding the truth in God's word, the Bible.

To My Fellow Christians, Be Not Deceived
Disingenuous: lacking in frankness, candor or sincerity.

Pursuit of Truth!
Sometimes the truth hurts, but inevitably knowing the Truth will set you free, it will give you growth. Regarding salvation, it is life changing.It takes great humility to admit your faults, especially your sins but taking them to your grave will lead to eternal damnation. Understanding that we are all that thief on the cross, recognizing that in some cases takes great humility, but it is needed to all who want salvation from our broken sinful nature.This message on the My New Life Podcast talks about the sinful nature of mankind and how we can ask to be saved once we recognize our sinful nature, having a desire to be with God.
