Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson use quotes from Martin Luther and Charles Spurgeon to address the faith-versus-works debate, pushing back against LDS leaders like Joseph Fielding Smith who called justification by faith alone "pernicious." The key takeaway: evangelicals aren't against good works — they just insist works are the result of saving faith, not the means of earning justification.
Bill McKeever and Eric Johnson analyze an article by LDS General Authority Randy D. Funk, who uses the legal concept of "unilateral acceptance" to frame covenant-keeping and temple ordinances as the means by which Latter-day Saints receive God's blessings. The hosts contrast this works-based approach with the evangelical view that good works are the result of justification, not the basis for it.

In Latter-day Saint scriptures, Doctrine & Covenants section 82, verse 7 states"And now, verily I say unto you, I, the Lord, will not lay any sin to your charge; go your ways and sin no more; but unto that soul who sinneth shall the former sins return, saith the Lord your God." This is not only a tremendous burden for Latter-day Saints, but it is wholly antithetical to the biblical promise that God will not remember our sins. “FOR I WILL BE MERCIFUL TO THEIR INIQUITIES, AND I WILL REMEMBER THEIR SINS NO MORE" (Hebrews 8:12).This week on the Profile we continue our conversation with Eric Johnson of MRM.org about S.W. Kimball's The Miracle of Forgiveness. From MRM.ORGEric Johnson has been a student of Mormonism since 1987 when he served a summer mission outreach in Utah.

Why are Latter-day Saints so eager to build temples, and are "temple works" really a New Testament practice? In these Viewpoint shows, MRM's Eric Johnson and Bill McKeever explore the doctrine behind LDS temples. Mormonism's practice of temple building has no basis in either the New Testament or early Christian history, making LDS temple worship a uniquely Mormon doctrine.

What might you say to a Latter-day Saint who asks you to define how you understand the concept of forgiveness? It is important to know that most Latter-day Saints understanding of forgiveness differs significantly from the traditional biblical doctrine of forgiveness. This week and next on the Profile we will be talking with Eric Johnson of Mormon Research Ministry in Utah about an influential 1969 LDS publication, written by former apostle and later president and prophet of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Spencer W. Kimball called The Miracle of Forgiveness. But as Eric will share with us, Kimball's ideas of forgiveness aren't anything like what we find in the Bible.

In this special TPM Tech Preview episode, Brian Glick sits down with Eric Johnson of the Journal of Commerce to go behind the scenes of TPM and TPM Tech. Eric explains how the conference has evolved from its transpacific shipping roots into a broader forum for containerized supply chains, global economics, geopolitics, and technology—and why an editorial-first approach remains central to its credibility.Together, they explore how TPM Tech sessions are designed, how topics and speakers are selected months in advance, and how the program avoids becoming sales-driven or trend-chasing. The conversation also dives into what Eric is most excited about for the upcoming event, from challenging long-held industry assumptions to framing more practical, grounded discussions around AI.Key topics discussed include: The evolution of TPM and the role of TPM Tech within the broader conference Why editorial independence matters in conference programming How panels are developed, prepped, and structured for real audience value Avoiding hype-driven content around AI, blockchain, and other “topic du jour” trends Challenging industry sacred cows like data silos and visibility models What attendees can expect from this year's TPM Tech and main-stage sessionsAbout the guestEric Johnson is Senior Editor of Technology at the Journal of Commerce, where he leads coverage and analysis of how technology is shaping global logistics and trade. He regularly reports on how shippers, carriers, and logistics providers use software across procurement, execution, visibility, and payment, and is a frequent moderator and presenter at major industry events.Eric also plays a key role in developing the TPM and TPM Tech conference programs, helping shape editorial-driven discussions that cut through hype and focus on practical, real-world technology challenges facing the supply chain industry.Connect with EricConnect with BrianFollow Chain.io on LinkedIn
“If we believe the world is ending in destruction, we won't invest in it. But Jesus didn't come to help us escape the earth. He came to restore it. - Eric JohnsonIn this deeply thoughtful episode of Live Your Best Life, Liz Wright is joined by pastor and cultural thinker Eric Johnson for a conversation that reframes the gospel through the lens of restoration rather than escape. Drawing from Scripture, church history, and lived experience, Eric unpacks why Jesus came not simply to save souls, but to heal, redeem, and restore all things.Together, Liz and Eric explore how worldview and eschatology shape the way we live, disciple, and engage culture today. From the Incarnation to the dismantling of the sacred/secular divide, this conversation challenges reductionist gospel narratives and invites listeners into a fuller biblical story: creation, fall, redemption, and restoration.Eric shares how the revelation of God as Father radically transformed the way humanity understands identity, value, and purpose. Rather than an isolated faith focused on escape, listeners are invited into a communal, hope-filled partnership with God that brings renewal to the world around us.If you've sensed that the gospel is bigger than what you were taught, or felt a stirring to participate more fully in God's restorative work on earth, this episode will bring clarity, courage, and renewed vision. This is a conversation that grounds faith, expands hope, and calls the Church into maturity.Learn More about RestSpace at patreon.com/restspace

Armin Molavi spent 20 years working in agencies before transitioning to client-side marketing at Hilton, then building a successful fractional CMO practice serving private equity-backed companies. Currently, he's the CMO at Instructure, which makes the ubiquitous learning management system Canvas."25 years of B2C, and this is my very first B2B gig, so I've been learning a lot," Armin says. "What's the saying? Like drinking from a fire hydrant?"But at a fundamental level, he explains, B2B is not so different from what he's spent most of his career doing."At the end of the day, I have to convince people that if they give up their budget for what I have to sell, it's going to make their life better at work," he adds. "That's what marketing is."Today on Building Better CMOs, Armin and Greg Stuart discuss what marketers should know about working with private equity firms, why agencies and clients both need to be better partners to each other, and the life-changing career advice he received from Kellyn Kenny. They also discuss why marketers need to drop the jargon and start connecting their work to enterprise value if they want a seat at the table.
