    1892: My Relief Society Presidency Nightmare - Lori Young

    1892: My Relief Society Presidency Nightmare - Lori Young

    In a gripping and vulnerable interview, Lori takes us on her journey of being raised in a picture-perfect Mormon household, only to find herself betrayed by the misogynistic teachings and practices of the Church. As a feminist trapped in a patriarchal system, she recounts the jarring experience of going through the temple for the first time, feeling like she had entered a cult. Despite her discomfort, she persevered for decades, until the cognitive dissonance and oppression of women triggered debilitating panic attacks and a mental health crisis. Lori's courageous story is a testament to the strength it takes to break free from indoctrination, find one's authentic self, and embrace true peace and equality outside the confines of orthodoxy. Her raw honesty about the harmful effects of Mormonism on women's mental health and her path to healing and purpose will resonate deeply with anyone who has struggled to reconcile their beliefs with their lived experience.

    1891: BYU Black Menace Leaves Mormon Church Over Racism - Sebastian Stewart-Johnson

    1891: BYU Black Menace Leaves Mormon Church Over Racism - Sebastian Stewart-Johnson

    Get ready for an explosive and unfiltered look at life as a Black student at BYU! Sebastian takes us on a wild ride as he dishes about the viral rise of his "Black Menaces" group, a provocative movement that fearlessly called out racism within Mormon culture. From protests that sparked national headlines to tense confrontations with horrified church leaders like Brad Wilcox, Sebastian holds nothing back. He delves into the trauma of being constantly stared at and "othered" on BYU's overwhelmingly white campus, receiving vile racist abuse and death threats just for daring to speak truth to power. Sebastian's story is a raw, unsettling wake-up call about the insidious persistence of racism, even in religious communities that preach love and equality. Get ready to have your perceptions shattered by this bold revolutionary's refusal to stay silent in the face of oppression.

    1888: Deconstructing Mormonism in a Mixed-Faith Marriage: Summur-Rayn Berrett Pt. 2

    1888: Deconstructing Mormonism in a Mixed-Faith Marriage: Summur-Rayn Berrett Pt. 2

    Just when you thought Summur's faith transition couldn't get any more intense, buckle up for a mind-blowing ride in part 2. From uncovering disturbing details in the Gospel Topics Essays that left her questioning everything she knew, to grappling with the church's dishonesty about its history and finances, to watching her oldest daughter develop scrupulosity, Summur holds nothing back. Her brutally honest account of deconstructing her lifelong beliefs is equal parts heartbreaking and empowering. You'll be on the edge of your seat as she navigates the challenges of a mixed-faith marriage, learning how to have open and loving discussions despite diverging worldviews. Summur's raw vulnerability and unrelenting search for truth and meaning will leave you reflecting on your own spiritual journey long after the interview ends.

The stories

The stories is where this show works the best. I do also like the news from the church, and when bishops talk. Now sitting in church knowing all the back stories is starting to become more and more difficult!

Disappointed

I have enjoyed listening to your podcast never being exposed to the Morman church. But have to say your last eat episode was so disturbing . The manner in which you, Carrie and your guest were so disrespectful to the Christian faith goes beyond what is civil. I find all very narrow minded and frankly bullies.
