The Personal Faith Crisis Report (Article — Interactive)

This study was presented to Elder Dieter Uchdorf in 2013. The report was created to assist LDS Church leaders with recommendations targeted at better understanding a faith crisis, in order to better retain members currently in crisis, to repair damaged families, and to prevent faith crises from affecting current & future generations. The research behind the report studies the LDS faith crisis in detail, including the stages of a faith crisis. It provides a wealth of information about the nature of the process of leaving Mormonism, and the issues that affect those who leave.

Jesus is Enough (Website — Interactive)

This website shares stories of others who have travelled the journey out of Mormonism, but who have discovered a new kind of faith by trusting in Jesus alone (Many of the video presenters at Faith Reimaged share their stories in this series.)

Faith After Mormonism Resource Site (Website — Interactive)

Many former Mormons still want a relationship with Jesus, and are exploring the prospect of a new spiritual home in traditional, biblical Christianity. But that journey has challenges – emotional, relational, doctrinal, and cultural. This site compiles short videos on helpful topics. 

These topics are related to Session 1:

  • Be Patient With Your Journey From Mormonism (Video — 6 min)

  • Caring for Yourself After Mormonism (Video — 6 min)

  • Rethinking Basic Assumptions After Mormonism (Video — 9 min)
