Ashly Stone & Jeff Strong: Why People Leave the LDS Church… and Come Back
About this episode
The episode discusses the complexities of faith and the reasons why individuals leave and return to the LDS Church.
"I just believe that God is found in the messiness. We just need to have faith that even when it makes no sense and nothing seems to be working, that it's in that very messiness that He will find us. That's how it's supposed to be. It's not supposed to be clean and linear. It's meandering and messy and crazy, and then He reaches through the fog of that, and He finds us." 00:00 Conformity and Agency 14:59 Family Faith Crisis Begins 30:35 Why People Step Away 48:00 Let Them Choose 51:37 Agency Changes Everything 01:03:20 Repairing Ruptures 01:10:06 Gatherers Not Sifters Serve Clothing code COMEBACK for 15% off https://serveclothing.com/ If you have a story to share please submit here: https://comebackpodcast.org/submissions/ For inquiries contact info.comebackpodcast@gmail.com Come Back Team: Director, Founder, & Host: Ashly Stone Editor: Cara Reed Outreach Manager: Jenna Carlson Assistant Editor: Britt Smallze Art Director: Jeremy Garcia Production Director: Trent Wardwell
