My friends Allan and Kattie Mount share their journey of both being active LDS (both Barcelona Spain RMs) and then in Allan have a faith transition in 2017 that led him out of the church. In spite of his best efforts and wonder local leaders, Allan is no longer able to believe. Allan and Katie bravely share how they are navigating this space. Allan no longer attends on Sunday, but helps gets the kids ready for Church and participates with his EQ in service projects as he loves his church community. He is not trying to draw others out of the Church. Kattie serves at the Ward Primary President. Allan and Kattie started a podcast called ‘Marriage on a Tight Rope’ focused on mixed-faith marriages and how to keep those marriages together. See https://marriageonatightrope.org/about/ for more information. Thanks for being on the podcast Allan and Kattie. You two are awesome and doing a much needed work to keep families together.
