In this episode Kerry and Andrew Skinner discuss the Anti Christs of the Book of Mormon and how they apply in our day. They also explore the reality of Anti Christs in our day, and how the things we learn in the Book of Mormon help us defeat the ideas of Anti Christs, and understand the Power of Christ, and help those who doubt understand the need for Christ in their lives.
