Free-Text First Friday: The Curious and Heretical Beliefs of Jehovah’s Witnesses

Thy Strong Word from KFUO Radio

Many people have answered the unexpected knock on the door only to find a pair of friendly Jehovah’s Witnesses wanting to share their faith on the other side. No one can fault them for wanting to share what they believe but how do we respond? Instead of sending them away, invite them in and share your faith with them! This episode explores some of the beliefs held by Jehovah's Witnesses, from the curious to the heretical, to get you started on your next conversation with Jehovah’s Witnesses.

The Rev. Timothy Appel, Pastor of Faith Lutheran Church in Godfrey, IL and host of KFUO Radio’s Sharper Iron, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to discuss Jehovah’s Witnesses. Find Sharper Iron at kfuo.org/sharperiron.

Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God’s Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations.
