Episode 08: Staying in the Fold: How the Mormon Church Keeps Young Adults from Leaving
It's typical for young adults, ages 18-25, to leave the nest and start to fly on their own. Many young adults continue to discover who they are and what believe as they move away from their family of origin. This is not the case in the Mormon church where Young Adults are sequestered into singles wards, sent on missions, and expected to start families at a young age, all with the intention of maintaining their position as a cog in the Mormon machine. This week we wrap up our exploration of th...

Episode 05: When Children Become Sinners, The Hidden Trauma of Mormon Baptismal Covenants
Baptism might seem like a banal rite of passage for an eight-year-old child, but when you teach children that they are not only capable of sinning, but that their entire eternal salvation is on the line, there are psychological implications. Weighty topics of death and the meaning of life can become front and center for children not yet ready to wrestle with the fear of judgment day and the “consequences” of their yet-to-be fully understood “sins”.

Episode 04: Patriarchy, Power, and Oppression: Life in the Extreme Gender Binary of the Mormon Church
Instead of celebrating the rainbow of diversity that is humanity, the Mormon church has continued to double down on the black and white gender construct of hyper-masculine and ultra-feminine as the only form of accepted gender expression. The lack of inclusion for gender-queer, gender non-conforming, non-binary, trans-gender folxs, and anyone else outside these two gender boxes has led to a mental health crisis for many members and former members of LDS faith. This podcast explores the Mormon...
