About Us

Mormon Transitions is a community effort to:

  • Create multimedia materials (e.g., podcasts, Youtube videos, blog posts, books),
  • Sponsor events (e.g., workshops, retreats),
  • Nurture community, and
  • Support academic research around the causes and impact of Mormon faith transitions…

…..for all who are transitioning away from orthodox Mormonism, and towards either unorthodox/progressive Mormonism or post-Mormonism.  The focus of Mormon Transitions is on healing and positive growth — with a particular emphasis on “trading up” (improving your life) after a faith transition.

Some of the key areas of special interest will be the following:

  • Strengthening marriages, families, and other relationships during and after a faith transition.
    • Helping a marriage survive and thrive after a faith transition.
    • Supporting mixed-faith marriages and mixed-faith families.
    • Preventing unnecessary divorces and family strife due to religious differences.
  • Raising healthy children after a faith transition.
  • Communicating in healthy ways with orthodox/believing family and friends.
  • Finding meaningful friendships and community after a faith transition.
  • Nurturing spirituality (even secular spirituality) after a faith transition.
  • Personal healing and growth after a faith transition.
    • This usually entails replacing the “holes” that develop after a faith transition, including: Identity, Purpose, Meaning, Morality, Spirituality, Health Code, Community, etc.
  • Leaving or Staying LDS
    • Leaving: For those who are choosing to leave the LDS Church, helping you make that transition in the healthiest possible way.
    • Staying: For those who are choosing to stay active in the LDS Church, helping you do so in a rich, vibrant, edifying, healthy way.
