  • My Brother's Horrible Mormon Mission Experience (End of Phase One)
    2023/11/20

    In this episode, I finish phase one of my podcast (My faith crisis) with how it went when I told my Dad I was leaving the Mormon Church. Also in this episode, I talk about my older Brother’s horrible LDS mission experience, and how he and my other siblings left the church before me. 

    The next episodes will be Phase 2 of my podcast and I’ll tell my entire Mormon upbringing, from childhood to my LDS mission. From my Mother's conversion story to my early marriage.

  • Talking To My Wife And Bishop About My Mormon Doubts
    2023/11/14

    This episode is a good one! 

    I talk about the moment I talked to my wife about my Mormon doubts I’m having and it went much better than expected. I then talk about the meeting I had with my bishop and how poorly he took it (Poorly and creepy). I also bring up the issues I have with most Mormon leaders and how they aren't really “Christ-like” and are just morally crooked businessmen who use fear and judgment for doubters like me. 

    Enjoy the episode, thanks for listening.

  • When My Mormon Shelf Collapse (The Church isn't true!)
    2023/11/01

    In this episode of my Mormon Memory, I talk about the aftermath of the crappy events of the past few episodes and start to uncover wave after wave of Mormon truth I had no clue about. I talk about the moment that my shelf fell apart - the moment I knew 100% that Mormonism was false. That my whole life up to that point was a lie. 

    In this episode, I talk about what made me decide that it was all false, and how I was worried about my wife finding out. Enjoy.

  • The Final Knock-Out Blow (The Missionary Incident)
    2023/10/16

    This is a very hard episode to put together. This was what I call the 3rd and final knockout blow during my faith crisis within Mormonism and where I felt I needed to do something. This episode tells about the incident in Oregon and the missionary who made me kind of spill the beans that I was losing my faith in the Mormon Church. This was hard to talk about since I still struggle with what happened that summer and that missionary, who couldn’t mind his self-righteous business about my children. Enjoy and listen.

  • Burning The MLM Bridge (Working for a MLM Pt 2)
    2023/10/09

    In this episode, I talk about the final days at an MLM company I worked for. How they got busted by the feds and how I got laid off right before buying a house. This episode is an angry one so enjoy. This one was very hard to record and had to relive it again. 

    In this episode, I talk about how the company I worked for grew by the millions, bought a massive office building, and was sponsored at a BYU football game. My wife and I planned to buy our first house, however, thinking that my job was safe, I got the call into the meeting that I was getting fired anyway, the day before I was closing on a house. This hurt me and gave me even more of an existential crisis and a feeling of betrayal by my company and my managers. And the way the company treated me as I left wasn't helpful. 

    So enjoy this episode of My Mormon memory, it's a healthy one.

  • MLM's are Fun! (Working for a MLM Pt 1)
    2023/10/02

    In this episode of My Mormon Memory, I talk about my final day at the LDS church job and the MLM I fled to. This MLM is just like what you expect: They are loud, crooked, mysterious, and make a ton of money! But, how did they make all their money?  Well, it took me a few months to figure that out. This is the first of two parts of my experience working for a LDS-ran Utah Valley MLM.

  • Living in the Upside Down (Recap Episode)
    2023/09/19

    In this episode, I recap my feelings about leaving my job at the Mormon Church and the state I was living in at the time. I mention how it felt like I was living in a lie and I started questioning my world. I felt like everything I lived up to that point, was a lie and I started to question EVERYTHING. Even my own existence. This is a shorter episode but a very good one.

  • Suffering in Silence (Working for the LDS Church Pt 4)
    2023/09/11

    In episode 6 I continue Phase 1 of my podcast and record the 4th and final part of my experience working for the Mormon Church in Salt Lake City.

    In another hard episode to record, "Suffering in Silence" I bring up the aftermath of the last episode and how co-workers were ignoring and shunning me within the LDS Church office department. With found no work from anywhere, and felt like my entire life was one big lie. 

    From being too scared to tell my wife about my feelings of doubt, to the coworker who rejected a simple act of kindness and help on my part. From a fiasco of not getting paid for two weeks, to losing my temper at a bus driver. This was a hard episode to retell.
