E286: From Latter-Day Saints to Communion of Saints w/ Isaac Hess | Lila Rose Show
The Lila Rose Show
Raised Mormon, Isaac found great consolation and experienced the love of Jesus Christ. After years of reading, talking, and studying, he began to see faith in a new light. Isaac Hess joins the show to discuss his faith journey and relationship to the Mormanism of his childhood, growing ever-deeper into the heart of Christ.
