When Latter-day Saints think about conversion, they often think of individuals joining The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints through baptism. But every member is a convert in his or her own right by developing a personal testimony. And sadly, there are times when individuals choose to leave the gospel path. This episode of the Church News podcast features information about those who come back, who reengage in the gospel and build stronger foundations than before. These “reconversions” happen more often than one might think.Eric d'Evegnée and Sarah Hafen d'Evegnéeare BYU-Idaho English professors. Together they are creating and analyzing a database of reconversion stories to learn lessons that might help those with questions of faith. These efforts began decades ago as Sarah d'Evegnée's father, Elder Bruce C. Hafen, an emeritus general authority of the Church of Jesus Christ, spoke on faith and ambiguity at Ricks College. Their campaign grew with the publication of a book, “Faith Is Not Blind,” by Elder Hafen and his wife, Sister Marie Hafen. Now they all continue the conversation with the Faith Is Not Blind Project.  The Church News Podcast is a weekly podcast that invites listeners to make a journey of connection with members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints across the globe. Host Sarah Jane Weaver, reporter and editor for The Church News for a quarter-century, shares a unique view of the stories, events, and most important people who form this international faith. With each episode, listeners are asked to embark on a journey to learn from one another and ponder, “What do I know now?” because of the experience. Produced by KellieAnn Halvorsen.

Sisterhood. What does that mean? Biological sisters? Sisters by marriage? In today’s episode we conclude our celebration of Womanhood and Motherhood by discussing Sisterhood. It means so much more than just a family relationship. It means supporting, strengthening, building, and “lifting” the women around us. We need each other. We need the gifts, talents, similarities, and differences each one of us possesses. Listen in to a great episode about embracing the Sisterhood that comes with being women and mothers.

For years, I thought there was something wrong if I wasn't happy all the time. It seemed like I was missing something. I had a great life, an awesome family, a wonderful home, a business I enjoy... Why wasn't I happy all the time? Why did I get discouraged and disappointed when I had so many reasons to be hopeful and excited? In this episode we explore those questions and the three things I discovered over the years that have made a huge difference to the way I now see my life, family, and business.

“Being a doubting Thomas is not the end point of the journey of discipleship.” In part two of our conversation with Emeritus General Authority Bruce C. Hafen and his wife Marie, we delve deeper into why complexity and skepticism may be necessary for some people in the development of their faith.

“Trust me, it’s going to be good.” We often speak of trusting God but will everything really be good in the end? Should we be worried when we, or those we love, are struggling to trust Him? Emeritus General Authority Bruce C. Hafen and his wife Marie share their concept of three stages of faith after a lifetime spent exploring difficult topics and seeking peace amid the complexities we all face in real life.

A story told by Bruce C. Hafen in 1979 in his talk Love Is Not Blind: Some Thoughts for College Students on Faith:

Chuck Morse is joined by Sam Blumenfeld in the first segment as they discuss issues. In the second hour, Chuck hosts a debate between Ilya Shapiro-Senior fellow in constitutional studies at the Cato Institute and editor-in-chief of the Cato Supreme Court Review and Lynn Wardle - Bruce C. Hafen Professor of Law of Brigham Young University in a debate over whether the states have a right to regulate and define marriage.
