131. Peacekeeper or Peacemaker? When Truth Disrupts the Room, Interview with Lindsay Norman

In this powerful and deeply honest episode of Finding Faith Above, Shelby sits down with Lindsay, a woman of strong faith and biblical conviction, to tackle one of the hardest tensions facing Christians today: Are we called to keep the peace, or to make peace rooted in truth?

This conversation goes where many avoid. Together, Shelby and Lindsay unpack the difference between peacekeeping (appeasement and silence) and peacemaking (love grounded in truth) and why confusing the two can have eternal consequences.

Sparked by Lindsay’s widely shared open letter to her LDS friends, this episode compassionately explores why Christians and Latter-day Saints often use the same language but mean very different things when it comes to God, Jesus, salvation, and truth. These aren’t minor theological disagreements. They are foundational questions that shape eternity.

You’ll hear Lindsay’s personal faith journey, including how biblical literacy transformed her walk with Christ, humbled her self-righteousness, and gave her courage to speak truth even when it cost her relationships, comfort, and approval. This is not an episode about winning arguments. It’s about loving people enough to tell the truth.

Shelby and Lindsay also dive into:

• Why unity without truth is not biblical peace
• How to lovingly engage LDS friends without compromising the gospel
• Why asking hard questions is not dangerous, but necessary
• How archaeology, ancient manuscripts, and apologetics affirm the reliability of the Bible
• Why Christianity is an evidence-based faith, not blind belief
• How biblical literacy equips you to recognize counterfeit gospels

If you’ve ever felt torn between loving people and standing firm in truth, this episode will give language, clarity, and courage to that tension.
