The book was repeatedly cited by several hosts—including Hank Smith, Dr. Adam Miller, Dr. Daniel Belnap, and others—as a clear illustration of the difference between merely believing in Christ and actually believing Christ’s promises. They highlighted its personal anecdotes about spiritual struggle, the weight of perfectionism, and the need for genuine faith in Christ’s power to cleanse and save. The discussion consistently framed the title as a valuable tool for encouraging listeners to move from intellectual assent to heartfelt trust, resulting in a highly recommended endorsement.

The speaker remembers a line from the book, which they found to be very good, and that was "the question is not am I going to make it? The question is do I want to stay?"
The question is not am I going to make it? The question is do I want to stay?

Episode: Romans 1-6 Part 2 • Dr. Adam Miller • Aug 7 - Aug...
It was mentioned as an example of how people can get caught up in trying to earn God's love through checklists and activities, rather than focusing on loving others.
He says, I'd been promoted. It was a good year for us. A trying year for Janet, his wife. That year she had our fourth child, graduated from college, passed the CPA exam and was made Relief Society president.
Then one night the lights went out. Something happened to my wife that I can only describe as dying spiritually. She wouldn't talk about it. She wouldn't tell me what was wrong. That was the worst part.
For a couple of weeks she did not wish to participate in spiritual things. She asked to be released from her callings and she would not open up and tell me what was wrong.
Finally, after about two weeks, one night I made her mad and it came out. She said, all right, you want to know what's wrong? I'll tell you what's wrong. I can't do it anymore. I can't lift it.
I can't get up at 530 in the morning and bake bread and sew clothes and help my kids with their homework and do my own homework and do my Relief Society stuff and get my genealogy done and write the congressman and go to the PTA meetings and write the missionaries.
Episode: Luke 22; John 18 Part 2 • Dr. Daniel Belnap • June...
It was mentioned in the episode as the source where the speaker first understood that the pain of Gethsemane would have killed a normal human.
I think the first time I understood, oh, this idea that the pain would have killed us is when I read it in Believe in Christ on page 123.
He said, if you or I had gone into the press of Gethsemane and shouldered that load of sin and pain, it would have squashed us like bugs snuffed us out instantly.
Episode: Matthew 11-12; Luke 11 Part 1 • Dr. John Hilton II...
It was discussed as a book and BYU devotional by Steven E. Robinson, where he shared a personal story of his wife's spiritual struggle with the weight of expectations and the need for a Savior.
Sometimes the weight of the demand for perfection drives us to despair.
Sometimes we fail to believe the most choice portion of the gospel that says He can change us and bring us into His kingdom.
She knew why Jesus is a coach, a cheerleader, an advisor, and a teacher.
She knew why he's an example, the head of the church, the elder brother, or even God.
She knew all of that, but she did not understand why he is called the savior.
Episode: Numbers 11-14 ; 20-24 -- Part 2 : Dr. Kerry Muhles...
It was discussed how many people believe in Christ's identity but not His power to save, and that true faith involves both believing in and believing Christ's promises.
To have faith in Jesus Christ is not merely to believe that He is who He says He is.
To have faith in Christ. Sometimes to have faith in Christ is also to believe Christ.
They believe in His identity, but not in His power to cleanse and purify and to save them.
To have faith in His identity is only half the process. To have faith in His ability, in His power to cleanse and to save, that is the other half.
We must not only believe in Christ, we must believe Christ when He says, I can cleanse you and make you celestial.
Episode: Articles of Faith : Brother Ahmad S. Corbitt
It was mentioned that many people believe in Christ, but they don't believe Him or that it applies to them, and the speaker encouraged listeners to believe what Christ said about them and use their faith.
He chose the title, Believing Christ. My understanding is a lot of people believe in Christ, but they don't believe him.
No, you can believe him. You can believe what he said about you, which some of us are like, oh, I, well, I only was everybody else, but I don't know about me, you know?
Episode: Doctrine & Covenants 76 Part 2 : Dr. Steven C. Har...
It was mentioned in the context of a conversation between Stephen Robinson's wife and himself about the idea of 'celestial material' and that it isn't a requirement for the celestial kingdom.
Stephen Robinson's book "Believing Christ" which begins with the story of his wife who is, you know, all all wonderful letterly saint woman in every way it gives up who says I just can't do this I'm not celestial material and they have a conversation where they realize there's there's no such thing as celestial material there's just fallen mortals imperfect people who get to choose what they want right
