Episode 017 | Social Pressures | Faith Deconstruction Series

Drawing from the book 'Recovering Agency' by Luna Lindsay Corbden, this conversation explores how social dynamics influence religious beliefs and practices. In today's episode we delve into topics such as missions, temple garments, modesty, and the overall social expectations placed on members. We explore personal experiences that reflect on the pressures to conform, the impact of indoctrination, and the challenges of leaving the faith. 

 

The episode aims to shed light on the powerful role of social pressure in maintaining religious devotion and aims to offer an empathetic perspective on healing and deconstructing faith!
