In this episode of Faith Unraveled, we discuss  the difficult dynamic within high demand religion of replacing your own identity with the church's.  For this episode we refer to a chapter from Luna Lindsay Corbden's transformative book 'Recovering Agency.'  In this discussion, we explore how religious indoctrination, particularly within the LDS church, affects personal identity and decision-making and how the church's influence and demand for conformity can impact it members, particularly those who don't naturally identify with the church's ideals.
