24. Rebuilding After Exile, Part Two: John Rohbock on Forgiveness, Family, and a Future of His Own
Episode 24: I sit down once again with John Rohbock, picking up the thread of his journey after excommunication from the FLDS church. John reflects on the years that followed our first conversation, sharing how he confronted lingering anger, rebuilt fragile family ties, and found room in his heart for forgiveness without erasing the past. He describes the awkward first reunions with siblings, the hard-won peace that came from naming his grief, and the practical rituals—journaling, service, and daily self-inquiry—that grounded him when old doubts resurfaced.
Together we explore how John’s search for belonging evolved into a life of intentional community and purpose. He explains the difference between forgiving and reconciling, reveals how he raises his children with openness after growing up in secrecy, and offers candid advice for anyone feeling cut adrift by circumstances beyond their control. If Episode 22 moved you, this follow-up goes deeper, showing resilience maturing into wisdom and purpose growing into a future John once thought impossible.
