I don't say Mormonism caused it, but I do say that it certainly exacerbated something that was already there.
Ever felt like your faith was more of a burden than a blessing? In this episode of 'Discovering Our Scars', hosts Steph and Beth chat with Katie Langston, who shares her deeply personal journey from growing up in a strict Mormon family to embracing Christianity. Katie's memoir, 'Sealed: An Unexpected Journey Into the Heart of Grace', forms the backbone of this heartfelt conversation.
Raised to believe that God's love was conditional, Katie developed a form of OCD called scrupulosity, constantly fearing she could never meet divine expectations. Her story takes a transformative turn when she experiences an unexpected sense of grace that reshapes her entire life. This episode doesn't shy away from the tough stuff—religious trauma, the rigors of leaving the Mormon Church, and finding new spiritual ground.
If you've ever struggled with your faith or felt trapped by religious doctrines, Katie’s story might just resonate with you. Steph and Beth also dive into the importance of academic Biblical interpretation and share resources for those grappling with similar issues. Tune in for a candid and uplifting discussion that promises to leave you thinking long after it’s over.
