    Doubt is Not the Enemy to Faith: Rameumptom Ruminations: 112

    In this episode of Rameumptom Ruminations, we explore doubt not as the enemy of faith, but as a sacred doorway to deeper, more honest spirituality. Drawing from literature, Movies, and lived experience, we examine how high-demand religions like Mormonism often idealize certainty, and how this can obscure the value of questions and struggle. Through the lens of epistemic humility and the metaphor of the unreliable narrator, we reframe doubt as a truth-telling discipline rather than a defect. Listeners are invited to see doubt not as the end of belief, but as the beginning of chosen, compassionate, and resilient faith. Please consider becoming a monthly recurring donor to the podcast.

    Echoes of Belief: Rameumptom Ruminations: 110

    In this episode of Rameumptom Ruminations, we explore the emotional complexity of hearing others express beliefs we once held, especially when used to explain away difficult aspects of LDS doctrine. Through the lens of Buddhist compassion and Stoic self-mastery, we reflect on how to approach these conversations with empathy rather than argument. By letting go of the need to change others and focusing on presence and connection, we find a more peaceful way to navigate faith transitions. Ultimately, this episode invites listeners to engage with others—and themselves—with grace, patience, and humility. Please consider becoming a monthly recurring donor to the podcast.

    Rameumptom Ruminations: Episode 108: The Best Revenge

    Leaving a high-demand religion can be a painful and transformative experience, but how do we ensure we don’t repeat the same patterns of judgment and exclusion we once faced? In this episode, we explore the cycle of harm, the dangers of tribalism, and how we can engage critically without dehumanizing others. Drawing from philosophy, psychology, and personal reflection, we examine how anger can be valid but also limiting if it leads us to mirror the very systems we left behind. True freedom lies not in fighting fire with fire, but in breaking the cycle with compassion, integrity, and a commitment to personal growth.
