Latter-day Saints who experience a faith crisis are thrust into unfamiliar and difficult territory, and are forced to face many issues, including the decision to remain actively engaged with Mormonism, to step away for a while in an effort to regain one\u2019s bearings and perhaps live into new perspectives or find fresh ways to engage it, or to sever ties altogether. At the heart of many of these difficult decisions is a strong desire on the part of the person in crisis to live a life of integrity, to act in harmony with their ideals, highest values, and understandings of what is and isn\u2019t true. In this Mormon Matters episode, host Dan Wotherspoon and panelists Joanna Brooks, Brian Johnston, and Jeff Green dive deep into queries along the lines of "How do I live with integrity when I no longer believe the truth claims the way I used to, or when my experiences at church no longer uplift me or even cause me great pain, or when the majority of church members hold such radically different views from me?" In the discussion, the panelists all take great care to honor the many differences in experiences, temperaments, life circumstances, and understandings about the nature of truth (and especially Mormon truth claims) that can lead different people, all with equal integrity, to choose different paths. If there is a bias, it is toward the importance of really taking one\u2019s time before making these decisions or enacting one\u2019s decisions in ways that might burn bridges or cause irrevocable harm to relationships.
