In this episode of Faith Unraveled, we delve into the complex and often controversial topic of Mormon excommunication.

30 Mar 2024 | Episode 009 | Does the Mormon Church Give Authority To Women? | 01:01:57 | |
Does the Mormon Church Give more authority to women than any other religious organization? What a claim! (Made by Sister Dennis, First Counselor in the Relief Society General Presidency) But can you blame her? Swimming in Mormon waters make the Patriarchy very difficult to see. And this is something that I (it's me, Elisha) experienced first hand. I supported and honored the priesthood holders in my life and I never even wanted that "power and responsibility" (eye roll, please). It's shocking to me now looking back that I wasn't even in the ORDAIN WOMEN camp!!
In this episode of Faith Unraveled, we'll dive into the topic of woman and authority within the mormon church by comparing and contrasting our OWN EXPERIENCES growing up in Mormonism. Guys, I brought my Fascinating Womanhood manual into this episode AND my personal progress manual. I think it's a good one.

30 Mar 2024 | Episode 010 | Faith Unfiltered Q&A: Your Spicy Questions about Intimacy after Mormonism | 00:32:59 | |
The title sure makes this episode sound more scandalous than it is! But these are questions that you, friends, submitted so we're going there! And honestly it's been our favorite episode yet. These are fun topics after deconstruction but MAN it can be intimidating! I hope this episode eases some of the fear and concerns. In our church life, I don't remember a time that pleasure was ever discussed, even during my adult life. How wild is that? For most people, sex is an important and enjoyable component, but how many in the church even learn to experience sexual pleasure? We think it's an essential topic for reconstructors, so let's dive in!! ----- WELCOME TO FAITH UNRAVELED: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faith.unraveled?_t=8kISaVAOq9j&_r=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faith.unraveled?igsh=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

17 Mar 2024 | Episode 06 - Joy After Deconstruction | 00:53:32 | |
In this episode of our Faith Unraveled deconstruction series, we discuss the amazing life beyond the confines of the church. We discuss the process of deprogramming from church teachings, emphasizing the importance of unpacking internalized beliefs about joy, righteousness, and being a good person outside of Mormonism. Drawing on our own personal experiences, we hope to debunk myths surrounding the happiness of those who leave the church and highlight the significance of reprogramming your mindset to embrace life and joy in new ways. We address authenticity of friendships within the church versus forming meaningful relationships based on choice, the importance of living in the present, and the journey toward self-discovery and authentic living post-deconstruction. We hope as you listen you'll feel inspired to explore life beyond rigid doctrines, lean into curiosity, and find a supportive community on the path to reclaiming joy and authenticity outside of the church!

22 Oct 2024 | Tank Top Garment Tops Have Arrived | 00:11:38 | |
Big news in the world of Mormonism—sleeveless temple garments are officially here! This comes after past rumors, like the so-called “Cuppa Joseph” coffee allowance, but this time, it’s real. The Salt Lake Tribune has verified the introduction of these sleeveless options, though the global rollout timeline remains unclear. While some members welcome the change as a step toward more practical, breathable clothing, others see it as yet another sign of shifting doctrine. For a church that teaches it is led by divine revelation, critics are raising concerns: If God is really at the helm, why does doctrine seem to evolve based on cultural and member feedback? Is this modernization inspired revelation, or simply the church trying to keep up with the times? It raises deeper questions about authority, consistency, and what happens when members start wondering whether God or human influence is behind these changes. Let’s discuss—what do you think? Does this shift help the church adapt, or does it create more doubt about its divine guidance? | |||
13 Mar 2024 | Episode 05 - Faith Unfiltered - Q&A: The Changes I'd Make If I were the Prophet | 00:35:08 | |
Here's our newest series Faith Unfiltered. In this series, we dive into community-submitted questions about deconstructing faith (which can be submitted by DM on Instagram). We hope you enjoy our slightly more raw presentation here as we react to our comments, discuss hypothetical actions if we were prophets of the LDS Church, including promoting transparency and canceling harmful practices, and dive into a slightly unhinged convo about trying alcohol, cannabis, and coffee for the first time, highlighting the challenges and surprises we faced during that process. We also delve into the impact of leaving the church on family dynamics, particularly during holidays, and address anxieties about raising children outside the Mormon faith. We hope you enjoy this UnFiltered presentation!

20 Apr 2024 | Episode 014 | What I found prepping to become a Mormon Seminary Teacher | Faith Deconstruction Series | 00:19:15 | |
Here's my deconstruction story friends! From faithful member of the church of jesus christ of latter-day saints, preparing to become a seminary teacher to completely losing my testimony overnight. How does that happen? It felt sudden and disorienting, but as I look back I realize that many issues were mounting in my mind. Questions about the construct of sin which seemed paradoxical to the teachings of a loving God in heaven. The legalistic approach that the church seemed to be taking which also contrasted with what I'd been taught of a loving Jesus. The cognitive dissonance during the year before my faith crisis was significant and what's crazy: I wasn't even aware of it!! Belief is fascinating, isn't it?? What we're willing to do in order to stay safe... to keep that essential worldview intact. And the way I view this now is that the dissonance I was experiencing was necessary for me to actually see what was inside the box. There's no way I could have accepted it even one year earlier. It was too big a threat to my family's safety. And I wonder how much of my subconscious mind knew that I had support on the other side. That has made all the difference in the world. Please tell me in the comments what your faith deconstruction was like. Was it all at once? Was it gradual? Or do you think it was a combination of both? ------ WELCOME TO FAITH UNRAVELED: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faith.unraveled?_t=8kISaVAOq9j&_r=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faith.unraveled?igsh=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

What are your go-to spiritual practices, books, or teachers? In this episode of Faith Unraveled we discuss our winding spiritual journeys post leaving the Mormon church.

11 Mar 2024 | Episode 02 - The Awakening | 00:54:06 | |
In this first episode of our faith deconstruction series, we discuss our journey through the dismantling of our once unwavering faith within the Mormon church. Brick by sacred brick, our convictions crumbled as we caught glimpses of the tough realities of the Church's truth claims. From Jamie's realization about the Book of Abraham to the undeniable connection between temple rituals and Freemasonry, each discovery chipped away at our foundation. The emergence of DNA evidence challenging the Book of Mormon, coupled with the church's involvement in Proposition 8, left us questioning the integrity of our religious institution. The "performative niceness" within the church community during campaigns against the LGBTQ community further etched away at our foundation. And then again with the church's 2015 policy denying baptism to children of LGBTQ+ parents and the abrupt condemnation of the term 'Mormon' as 'a victory for satan.' It was all so much. Each of these events primed us for what would soon come, Elisha's discovery of the CES Letter, where all of the issues are indexed in one place. Jamie's subsequent deep dive would eventually land us in the same place: the church was no longer "true." Join us as we recall how it all came down. | |||

In today's video, we're exploring how Patriarchy within the context of Mormonism impacted our relationship. While Elisha's scrupulosity played a significant role, Jamie explains that from his perspective, the true wedge between us was the patriarchal structure embedded in our religious lifestyle. In Mormonism, as in many religious settings, power dynamics are often uneven, making communication difficult and obscuring our ability to see each other as equals. These assigned roles not only shaped our interactions but also hindered our ability to address the real issues in our relationship. Join us as we unpack the challenges that patriarchy and religious influence brought into our marriage and share our journey toward greater understanding and equality. ----- WELCOME TO FAITH UNRAVELED: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faith.unravel...

27 Sep 2024 | Episode 026 | Excommunication of Jeremy Runnells | Faith Unraveled | 00:24:53 | |
As a continuation to our episode on excommunication, and in light of the impending excommunication of Nemo the Mormon, we wanted to share this legendary talk by Jeremy Runnells, given at his own disciplinary council in 2016.
From CESletter.org: CES Letter is one Latter-day Saint's honest quest to get official answers from the LDS Church on its troubling origins, history, and practices. Jeremy Runnells was offered an opportunity to discuss his own doubts with a director of the Church Educational System (CES) and was assured that his doubts could be resolved. After reading Jeremy's letter, the director promised him a response. No response ever came.
From Hans Mattsson: “Runnells’ CES Letter presents many historical issues concerning LDS history, which for many members has been a wake-up call. The letter deserves to be read, both in and out of the LDS community. Read with an open mind and you will understand why many members are asking questions.” https://cesletter.org --- WELCOME TO FAITH UNRAVELED: TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@faith.unraveled?_t=8kISaVAOq9j&_r=1 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/faith.unraveled?igsh=NGVhN2U2NjQ0Yg%3D%3D&utm_source=qr

Does the Mormon Church harm? Please tell us your thoughts in the comments. This episode of Faith Unraveled delves into the potential harms of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) towards its members, former members, and their associates. The topics discussed include family separation and strain, elitism, exclusionary practices, financial burdens, mental health issues, and gender roles, with a broader aim to explore the negative impacts of the church's doctrines and practices.

The dialogue also covers the misuse of religious narratives like the parable of the widow's mite to encourage financial giving among the poor and critiques the church's stance on mental health, sexuality, and gender roles.

11 Mar 2024 | Episode 04 - Identity Crisis | 01:10:42 | |
This episode of our Faith Unraveled deconstruction series focuses on the process of reclaiming personal identity after divorcing faith, specifically addressing our faith crisis within the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, but these concepts extend into faith deconstruction from many denominations and we welcome all!
We discuss how our church teachings play a huge role in shaping our identity, societal role, sexual understanding, and personal agency. We dive into how the process of deconstruction often results in an identity crisis, leading to feelings of grief, anxiety, and loss. We discuss the importance of reconnecting with personal intuition and desire, as well as the role of various tools such as sensory awareness, meditation, vulnerability, and therapy in the rebuilding process. Also some of our favorite topics: the importance of establishing personal boundaries, exploring personal interests, and allowing room for individual healing and growth during this process.

13 Jun 2024 | Episode 018 | The Pain of Rejection in the Church | Faith Deconstruction Series | 00:37:50 | |
Mentioned in today's episode: Recovering Agency: Lifting the Veil of Mormon Mind Control : https://amzn.to/3KpahSQ
Some argue that the pain of social rejection is worse than physical pain, so does it make sense that the pressure to fit in is often overwhelming and all-consuming? Join us as we discuss the unique challenges faced by members of the Mormon faith, particularly the expectations surrounding sacrament passing, modesty, missions, and purity. We also tackle the issue of shaming young women for their attire, and how adult gossip is sometimes used to enforce conformity and maintain social hierarchies. We cover the emotional and social pressures of missions, especially for those who return home early and are often stigmatized. We hope this will be an eye-opening conversation!
