K2C 33 – Throwing Baby Jesus Out with the Bathwater: Leaving Mormonism Without Losing Faith

Leaving Mormonism can shake a person's faith to the core. When the foundation you trusted turns out to be false, it's tempting to walk away from religion altogether. Many former Latter-day Saints decide it's safer to believe nothing than to risk being deceived again. But does discovering Mormonism isn't true mean that God Himself isn't real? In this episode, Tracy shares why leaving a false system doesn't have to mean abandoning faith in the true and living God. Using everyday analogies—including counterfeit money and buying a lemon car—she explains why rejecting Mormonism does not require rejecting Jesus. Just because a belief system claims to represent God doesn't mean it does. And just because one system proves false doesn't mean there is no truth. What if the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob is real—and what if knowing Him isn't based on emotional manipulation, but on evidence, truth, and relationship? This episode is adapted from Tracy's book Confessions of an Ex-Mormon: What I Wish I Knew When I Left the Church.
