Christian vs Mormon Debate If They Believe in the Same God
Maybe God Podcast
apologetics
January 24, 2026
Are Christianity and Mormonism actually the same faith—or do they part ways at the most fundamental level?
In this episode of Maybe God, we host our first debate-style conversation, bringing together Latter-day Saints apologist Jacob Hansen (@thoughtfulfaith2020) and evangelical Christian @AaronShafovaloff1 for a respectful, honest discussion about the biggest theological differences between Mormonism and Christianity.
