K2C 25 – Mormonism, the Matrix and Me – Chapter 19: The Truth Unfolds

What happens when sincere believers begin investigating the foundations of their faith? In Chapter 19 of Mormonism, the Matrix and Me, Tracy Tennant and her husband Scott set out on an earnest search for answers. Determined to defend the truth of Mormonism, they begin researching troubling questions that had quietly accumulated over time. Their investigation leads them on a trip to Utah where they speak with LDS leaders, trusted family members, and well-known researchers who have spent years studying the historical claims of the Church. Among those they meet are an LDS Institute director as well as longtime critics of Mormon history. What they discover is both surprising and deeply unsettling. Historical documents and firsthand discussions introduce them to controversial issues surrounding the early history of the LDS Church—topics many faithful members have never encountered. Hoping for reassurance, Tracy and Scott also seek counsel from a respected LDS teacher. Instead of clear answers, they receive a different kind of response: that the questions themselves may not matter as much as the good the Church accomplishes. For Tracy and Scott, however, the search for truth has only just begun. 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.
