How I Left the Mormon Church AND What it Cost Me

I grew up Mormon. Served a 2 yr Mission. Was a BYU adjunct entrepreneur professor. A temple worker. And a faithful seminary teacher. This is the crazy story of why I left religion.

Book Waitlist: https://forms.gle/EcraAaEgxK4hy2YE9 Spiral Dynamics Comment Color Analysis: I have an idea for a future video that quickly categorizes commenters into 6 archetypes. The goal of my channel is to bring more unity to the 6 perspectives by showing how each lens of awareness is a valid observation, but any single perspective is incomplete without the rest. LOW Awareness 🔴 – strength & dominance, but hostile, demeaning 🔵 – duty & absolute truth, but rigid, intolerant of dissent 🟠 – reason & evidence, but dismissive of subjective experience 🟢 – compassion & inclusion, but avoids confrontation HIGH Awareness 🟡 – integration & perspective, but overly abstract I might start tagging comments by color archetype so I can use this as a real-world demonstration, with a goal of helping each perspective feel appreciated, yet also aware of the blindspots caused, so that those who want to recognize the competing voices in their own life might find this framework as a way to create a symphony out of the noise.
