In this episode of Like Jasper, a sequel to The History of Mormonism, we explore the key differences between Mormonism and biblical Christianity. From views of God, Jesus, and salvation to the role of extra-biblical writings, we highlight where the two faiths diverge and why it matters for understanding truth and discipleship.

In this episode, we take a closer look at the rise of Mormonism—its beginnings with Joseph Smith, the translation of the Book of Mormon, the early church’s growth, and the challenges and controversies that have shaped it, as well as its ongoing influence on culture and faith conversations today.

In this episode, we explore the question: Can the Bible be trusted as a historically reliable document? Using the same standards scholars apply to all ancient literature, we examine the Bible through four critical lenses:

1. Bibliographic Evidence
   We look at the sheer number of ancient manuscripts, their dating, and their consistency. Compared to other classical works like Plato, the New Testament has an unmatched volume of early manuscripts

2. Internal EvidenceThe Bible's internal consistency, eyewitness accounts, and detailed historical references support its credibility. The Gospels, for example, are rooted in firsthand or closely sourced testimonies, and the writers show remarkable agreement despite coming from different backgrounds.

3. External EvidenceWe discuss how archaeological discoveries, non-Christian historical sources (like Josephus and Tacitus), and documented cultural practices align with biblical narratives, reinforcing their authenticity.

4. Transmission History
   The Bible’s preservation over centuries—through meticulous copying by scribes, the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and textual criticism—shows a surprisingly stable transmission of the text over millennia.

Finally, we touch on scientific discoveries that affirm biblical

Together, these evidences build a strong case that the Bible is not only a book of faith, but also one of historical and intellectual integrity.

How did the 27 books of the New Testament come together—and why were these specific writings chosen? In this episode of Like Jasper, we walk through the fascinating and faith-strengthening history behind the formation of the New Testament.

We explore:

📜 Apostolic Authorship – Why early Christians prioritized writings from the apostles or their close companions (like Luke and Mark).
🧪 Orthodoxy – How the early Church recognized books that aligned with the teachings of Jesus and the Hebrew Scriptures.
📖 Widespread Use – Which texts were being read and taught across churches by the 2nd and 3rd centuries.
⛪ The Role of Church Councils – How gatherings like the Synod of Hippo (393 AD) and Carthage (397 AD) confirmed what most Christians already recognized as Scripture.

We also debunk common myths—like the idea that the Bible was decided behind closed doors for political reasons—and instead show how the canon was more discovered than dictated.

By the end, you’ll see that the New Testament wasn’t randomly compiled, but carefully preserved, guided by God through history to reflect the true gospel of Christ.

In this episode of Like Jasper, we dive into the fascinating history of how the Old Testament came to be. From the earliest writings of Moses, to the recognition of the Hebrew Scriptures by Jewish leaders, we trace the journey of God’s Word. We explore how each book was eventually confirmed as inspired Scripture. Along the way, we see how God’s providence ensured that His Word remained unshaken despite centuries of opposition.

This episode reminds us that the Old Testament is not just a collection of ancient books—it is a testimony of God’s faithfulness, pointing us to His promises fulfilled in Christ.

Sara and Brittany take you on a journey through the rich history of how the Bible came to be. In this episode, they begin with one of the most powerful truths—the preservation of Scripture. From the very beginning, the enemy of our souls has tried to destroy God’s Word. Yet every attempt has failed. Through faithful scribes, miraculous preservation, and God’s own promises, the Scriptures have endured through centuries of attack, persecution, and change.

Join the conversation as we uncover how God’s Word has been protected and passed down so that the Bible we hold today still speaks His truth—unchanged, unshaken, and alive.

As the summer of 2025 comes to a close, we recap on the highlights of the season.

What does it really mean that God’s love is steadfast? In this episode, we explore the rich, biblical meaning of steadfast love—love that is resolute, unwavering, firm, and deeply committed. It’s faithful and loyal, grounded in truth, full of goodness, and always expressed through action. God’s steadfast love is not just a feeling—it is established, persevering, and eternally dependable.

Through the lens of scriptures like Philemon 1:6, Ephesians 3:14–21, and Colossians 1:9–12, we reflect on how this love strengthens our faith, empowers our prayers, and anchors our identity. No matter your season, let these truths remind you: God’s love for you is not going anywhere. It is steadfast. #podcast #christianministry #steadfast #steadfastness #steadfastlove #loyallove #likejasper #myidentity #blessings
