Why are people really leaving the LDS Church? In Part 2 of our deep dive into LDS disaffiliation, we continue our conversation with Jeff Strong, author of the groundbreaking book “Torn: Why People We Love Are Leaving the Church and What We Can Learn from Them.” This episode moves beyond the statistics to explore the complex, personal “waves” of modern faith loss. https://youtu.be/AkKkxe5sOP8 Don't miss our other conversations Jeff: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jeff-strong Copyright © 2026 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Key topics covered in this episode include: * The Church History Bombshell: Jeff reveals that 42% of his survey respondents cited church history as their primary reason for leaving, a finding that contrasts with earlier research focusing more on lifestyle factors. * Massive Scale & Methodology: Learn how the study captured the voices of 15,000 participants who cared so deeply about these issues that they spent an average of 90 minutes completing a 71-question survey. *AI and “10,000 Pages of Heartache”: To understand the nuance of the “verbatim” stories provided by respondents, Jeff's team utilized artificial intelligence to query over 10,000 pages of personal responses. *Is 40% Too Low? Jeff explains why he landed on a conservative 40% figure, despite other data sets like the General Social Survey (GSS) suggesting disaffiliation could be closer to 50%. The “Four Waves” of Disaffiliation: A look at how the reasons for leaving have shifted over time and why traditional “internet Mormon” stereotypes may not tell the whole story. Whether you are a leader, a family member, or someone navigating your own faith journey, this episode offers a data-driven yet deeply empathetic look at how hot the “fire” of disaffiliation is burning today. Watch Part 1 to see the initial breakdown of the 40% disaffiliation statistic and the “leaky bucket” math of church growth.

Rachel Tallman lives in the Niagara region of Ontario, right between Toronto and Buffalo, and has been paper crafting for about 15 years. She built a sequin mix subscription business that grew quickly, landing collaborations with designers and producing a holiday advent calendar that sold out every year, before the Canada Post strike and US tariffs forced her to make an extremely hard call earlier this spring.

Hidden heartaches and secret struggles with addiction are everywhere, including in the church.  What if the family that looks the most "put together" on Sunday morning is the one quietly falling apart by Monday night? Behind matching pajamas, anniversary posts, and small-group Bible studies, so many women are carrying a secret heartache they can't bring themselves to name out loud. In this honest, hope-filled conversation, Dr. Beth sits down with author and women's ministry director Jody Allen to talk about what happens when the marriage you prayed for, prepared for, and did "everything right" to build still doesn't turn out the way you imagined. Jody shares the long, painful road of loving a husband who battled a pornography addiction throughout their marriage, a struggle she discovered was far more common in the church than anyone wanted to admit. From discovery, to counseling, to a treatment center, to the eventual decision to divorce, Jody walks listeners through what God taught her in the valley, why she chose to write Hidden Heartache, and how she found that her life, though different than she planned, could still be deeply good. What You'll Learn: Why so many "hidden heartaches" — addiction, financial stress, mental health struggles, family secrets — worsen in silence, and how telling the truth begins to break shame's grip The staggering statistics about pornography use in the church (including among pastors) and why this conversation can't stay taboo any longer How to parent intentionally around screens, social media, and early exposure — especially when you've walked a hard road yourself Why "comparison is the thief of joy," and how to stop measuring your hardships/heartaches against everyone else's highlight reel The role of Scripture, the Holy Spirit, and Christian community in rewiring a brain — and a heart — that has been hurt Why hope is still possible when life doesn't turn out the way you planned, and how God can use even your hardest season to build your future About the Guest Jody Allen has served on staff at her church for over 12 years, where she leads the First Impressions Team and Women's Ministry. She is the author of Hidden Heartache: Finding Courage When Your Husband Struggles with Pornography, a book that helps women move from heartbreak to hope. Jody is passionate about helping women experience meaningful connection with Christ and with one another. She is the mom of young adult twins, loves chunky ice cream, still uses a paper calendar, and never turns down a chance to line dance.  Connect with Jody: Book: Hidden Heartache Website: jodyallenwrites.com Facebook: www.facebook.com/jodyallenwrites Instagram: www.instagram.com/jodyallenwrites/ Whether you're walking through your own hidden heartache or sitting beside someone who is, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone — and that God meets us most powerfully in the places we feel most broken.

This is a two-part message. When our worst fears become reality, faith can feel fragile and disoriented. In this episode, Jennifer Slattery sits down with Vaneetha Risner and Angela Mackey to explore how trust in God is rebuilt—not through changed circumstances, but through a deeper awareness of His presence. Vaneetha shares her journey through devastating loss, disability, and abandonment, and how God met her in the place she feared most. Rather than offering quick relief, He revealed something stronger: that His presence is a more secure foundation than any outcome she once depended on. Angela brings a complementary perspective through her “what if to even if” story, rooted in the account of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Walking through profound grief and physical trauma, she wrestled with God honestly and discovered that faith is not the absence of questions but the willingness to cling to Him in the fire. Together, these conversations reframe suffering—not as evidence of God’s absence, but as an invitation to encounter His nearness, deepen trust, and anchor hope in His unchanging character rather than fragile outcomes.

Vaneetha Risner grew up believing that faithfully following Jesus would ensure a stable, fulfilling life. So when her marriage collapsed, it didn't just break her heart; it shattered the framework upon which she had built her identity. In this deeply personal conversation, Vaneetha opens up about the layered grief of divorce — a loss she describes as a kind of death that the church too often meets with judgment instead of compassion — and how that pain sat alongside other devastating trials, including contracting polio as a child, losing an infant son, and a later post-polio diagnosis. Though Vaneetha experienced deep heartache and betrayal, her story centers around a renewed and reconstructed faith. She shares how reaching the absolute end of herself forced a new and desperate hunger for God, and how the biblical practice of lament became a lifeline, a place to pour out bitterness without fear of judgment. She offers candid wisdom on forgiveness (including why forgiving too quickly can actually delay healing) and the importance of becoming whole before pursuing remarriage. Listeners will also gain practical insight on how to support others in crisis through her "SHOWUP" framework. This episode is a powerful reminder that even when life doesn't go according to plan, faith can be rebuilt in the most unexpected and beautiful ways.   For more about Vaneetha Risner, check out her website, Facebook, X (Twitter), or Instagram Find Vaneetha's book: This Was Never the Plan: Walking with God Through the Heartache of Divorce (A Practical Christian Guide to Healing, Hope, and Strength After Separation) Here's my previous conversation with Vaneetha.       For more from Dr. Carol, check out her article When One Flesh Tears Apart: The Trauma of Broken Covenant Find out more about Dr. Carol Ministries: Dr. Carol Ministries In-Person Intensives.  Experience true healing and wholeness in a safe environment as you unpack your story around intimacy and relationships while inviting Jesus to be part of that story.    Individual coaching with Dr. Carol.  This provides a one-on-one format to help you navigate your personal journey.      Dr. Carol loves to hear from you!
