They feel that this podcast equips them to engage in apologetics and share the Gospel with their Mormon friends and neighbors effectively.

However, these reviewers argue that it is important for Mormons to engage with differing perspectives and not dismiss them simply because they contradict their current beliefs.

    In conclusion, The Viewpoint on Mormonism podcast is highly regarded for its comprehensive exploration of Mormon history and doctrine along with its use of official Mormon church documentation as evidence. Listeners appreciate its compassionate approach in presenting information and find it helpful in sharing the truth with their Mormon friends and neighbors. While some criticize its episode length or anticipate negative reactions from Mormons, overall, this podcast is considered a valuable resource for those interested in understanding the differences between Mormonism and biblical Christianity.
