Talking to returned Mormon missionaries all hyped up from their missions can be a challenge when they approach us on the street with their debate arguments ready for confrontation. Prideful attitudes in discussions, rarely create open doors for true heart-to-heart seed planting, so when Dustin the Mormon approached us for a second day of debating and brought a friend to video the encounter, we braced for a strong confrontation.

However, to our surprise Ed took the debate on from a different angel, discussing a mutual experience he and they both had debating atheists at different events. This approach was much less confrontational, since Mormons actual love Christian arguments on the viability of Jesus' life, death, resurrection and the gospel. So, turning the confrontation from a debate into a friendly exchange of ideas, was the ticket to better communication between these dear Mormon young men and our team.

Listen as Ed shares is experience talking with Dustin this second day of the Spring 2024 LDS General Conference.
