Like a Child Micah and Benson engage in a back and forth, which ends with Micah furiously refuting Pastor Benson’s message, testifying of Mormonism, and storming out of Benson’s office. Pastor Benson gives Micah a simple yet life-changing challenge: read the Bible like a child. 12. Quite a Calling Micah’s meeting with Farnsworth officially begins. Micah is questioned about his plans following his mission, which leads to a bold confession.

It’s all about Love Flashback: Micah learns of his transfer to a coveted missionary destination: Winter Garden. Upon arriving in his new home, Micah anxiously meets Eric for the first time.

Confess and Believe The interrogation with Farnsworth continues as Micah recounts a pivotal experience of his mission, when he received the shocking news that his childhood best friend, Schuyler, and his mother were killed in a violent car accident. Micah is forced to reconcile this tragedy with Schuyler’s faith, which catapults Micah into the Word of God where he reads Romans 10. 21. Love Elders Flashback: Micah’s slow transformation through reading the Bible reflected in his leadership position begins to cement a division within the mission: those who adhere to Farnsworth’s emphasis on numbers and obedience, and those who focus on Micah’s emphasis on love and faith. Micah endures yet another hurricane, Wilma, this time at his apartment in Stuart, FL. 22. Standards of Excellence Micah attends a leadership meeting, where his loyalty to the systematic “Standards of Excellence” is tested. Micah witnesses of what he is learning through the Bible, and encourages the missionary leadership to focus on love, faith and Jesus; not numbers. Micah is reprimanded by his leadership. 23. Banished to Patmos As a result of his bold stance at the leadership meeting, Micah is given a “special” assignment, which includes his demotion from leadership and relocation to a remote area where he can no longer have influence over other missionaries. In his isolation, Micah dives deeper into the Word of God and has a life-changing revelation through reading the Book of Hebrews—the sufficiency of Jesus Christ. 24. Born-Again Micah shares his testimony to Farnsworth of God’s intimate love in Christ and professes that Jesus is all he needs to be saved—and that he indeed has been saved by God’s grace. Micah recounts his experience of being born-again, which took place just four days before his meeting with Farnsworth. 25. Passport to Heaven President Farnsworth has heard enough, and proceeds to ask Micah the official “Temple Recommend” questions, which determine his worthiness to continue on as a missionary. Micah’s faces overwhelming turmoil in answering the questions honestly, fearing the repercussions. Through God’s strength, Micah witnesses of his new testimony, answers the questions honestly, and is stripped of his temple recommend—and in turn Mormon salvation itself. 26. Nehor President Farnsworth, frustrated, calls Micah’s Stake President (another religious authority) back in Utah. Micah speaks to President Allred and shares his faith in Jesus. Allred responds in anger, threatening Micah with ex-communication and calling him an anti-christ. Farnsworth tells Micah he is filled with the spirit of the devil and on a path away from God.
27. Jesus is Enough The meeting with Farnsworth ends and Micah leaves the chapel after his multi-hour interview. Driving home, he reflects on his public testimony of Christ which had contributed to his current dilemma. Micah recounts sharing his newfound testimony of Jesus Christ just two days previously in front of his missionary peers and leadership—an emotional and powerful witness of Jesus alone. 28. The Letter Upon returning back to his missionary home, Micah is uncertain as to what to do. Knowing he no longer has a future in the LDS Church, he calls Eric in deliberation. Realizing his mission is over, he reads the letter given to him by Eric during the hurricane and is given clarity on facing his predicament. Micah packs his bags, calls Eric for a ride, and decides to go to the hotel for refuge. 29. Kiss of Judas Micah calls one of his closest missionary friends, Buchanan, seeking for help in his conundrum, including a location to drop off his companion. Micah arrives at Buchanan’s house and finds out he has been betrayed by the very person he had trusted. Micah is confronted by his missionary leaders. 30. Jonathan and David Micah and Eric leave and head back to Eric’s hotel. Farnsworth comes to the hotel to give Micah a promise of safe passage back home to Utah to be honorably released from his mission by Allred, coupled with the promise that he won’t be interrogated if he returns. Micah is uncertain and fearful about facing his leadership. Micah talks to his parents and expresses his concerns. 31. Salt Land With apprehension, Micah makes the decision to return to Utah to please his parents. He flies back to Utah later that day and meets his family at the airport. Unknowingly, President Allred had scheduled a meeting with Micah and his parents immediately upon his arrival. 32. Saul Micah and his parents meet with President Allred late at night. Allred, in an attempt to bring Micah to repentance, vehemently condemns Micah, attacks him, and challenges his faith. Micah responds with his testimony of the Gospel of Christ. Micah is officially released from his mission.
33. I Would Die For You a. Micah returns to Florida, marries Alicia, and begins his new life at the hotel as a disciple of Jesus Christ. Joseph, having written down Micah’s final testimony, writes a song based on his message, titled “I Would Die For You.” Joseph’s mission concludes, he is born-again and is baptized by Micah. Adam’s Road—a musical ministry—is formed.
