Description

In this emotional and deeply honest episode, Eve and her parents, Neal and Christa, share their powerful story of faith, devotion, awakening, and transformation. Raised in a multi-generational Mormon household, Eve and her family lived and breathed the teachings of the LDS Church—until the cracks began to show.


From Neal’s time as a bishop and Christa’s strong belief in Mormon womanhood, to Eve’s mission and eventual faith transition, this conversation explores:


The impact of religious upbringing and cultural expectations


The emotional toll of unaddressed questions and historical issues


How Gospel Topics Essays, polyandry, and the church’s lack of transparency triggered a faith crisis


Eve’s pivotal role in helping her parents deconstruct their beliefs


The cost—and freedom—of walking away


Heartfelt, raw, and eye-opening, this interview shines a light on the complexity of leaving a high-demand religion and finding connection, purpose, and joy on the other side.
