K2C 10 – Mormonism, the Matrix and Me – Chapter 4: Preparing for the Temple

What does it mean for a faithful Latter-day Saint to prepare for the temple? In Chapter 4 of Mormonism, the Matrix and Me, Tracy Tennant reflects on her experiences as she prepares to participate in the sacred temple ordinances of the LDS Church. As a young Mormon woman attending LDS Institute classes, Tracy encounters teachings that raise new questions—among them the surprising claim that plural marriage may one day return during the Millennium. While the idea of future polygamy is unsettling, Tracy assumes it is simply something she will deal with when the time comes. Like many faithful Latter-day Saints, her focus remains on preparing for the next important step in Mormon life: receiving her temple endowment and being sealed to her husband for eternity. This chapter offers a glimpse into the expectations, teachings, and spiritual anticipation surrounding temple preparation within the LDS Church. This episode is part of the audiobook series presenting Tracy Tennant's book Mormonism, the Matrix and Me, which chronicles her journey out of Mormonism and into biblical Christianity. The book Mormonism, the Matrix and Me is available on Amazon for those who would like to read the full story.
