Exmormonology is a study of life after your mormon faith crisis, from a life coach's perspective, "mingled with" my personal exmormon musings. Exmormonology is a podcast for people who want to learn to ways so let go of pain, reduce anger, move on from the ties that bind all while stepping peacefully into life beyond mormonism, or whatever religion you have grown out of. I help you deconstruct the religious conditioning you have experienced. I coach brave souls willing to walk away from all ...
An Exmormon's Guide is a podcast dedicated to helping others through their faith transition. The host, Johnnie Walker, goes over the basics on all the new things the exmormon world has to offer.
Have you stopped to think about how the concept of "forever" may be tripping you up? If you have been raised in a religious faith tradition, you know the theology around forever is a regular topic of conversation.

I know there is a lot to this topic and your life is very multilayered, but today I want to talk to you about why it may be time to change up that phrase. Every time your brain thinks, I have trust issues and you belie…
