295: On LDS "Loyalists", "Leavers" & Everyone In Between! with Jana Riess
Episode description
Series Title: Cutting Edge Research on the LDS Faith Journey Experience [Part I of II]
You're in for a wonderful two episodes here as Valerie welcomes researcher and author Jana Reiss for a conversation brimming with details about Jana's current project (a forthcoming book!) centered around the diverse personal experiences of hundreds of people on the LDS faith spectrum.
In order to not give too many spoilers for the next two episodes, you'll need to tune in to hear what she is learning in both her surveys and oral history interviews about people like yourself and also about people whom you love on different places of the spectrum.
In this info-packed two part conversation they hit (among other things!):
- sociopolitical influences on the LDS faith journey
- navigating sexual ethics during/after the faith journey
- the role of "edge" dwellers on potentially helping our LDS faith spectrum learn how to talk to one another
Jana's research is in part an effort to help us wherever we are on the LDS spectrum understand one another better...which we couldn't love more here on the Latter Day Struggles podcast!
Jana's book The Next Mormons: How Millennials Are Changing the LDS Church can be found HERE
