1790: Currently-Serving Mormon Bishop Loses Faith in Mormonism: Zane and Tina Beard - a podcast by Dr. John Dehlin
from 2023-07-24T18:00
Tina's upbringing in the Mormon Church seemed uneventful until she had a troubling temple experience that made her question whether it was a cult. Zane, initially attracted to Tina's spirituality, went through his own faith crisis after reading anti-Mormon literature but eventually had a "spiritual experience" reaffirming his belief in the church.
Their story takes a dramatic turn when Tina starts losing her testimony, leading to emotional turmoil within their marriage, especially since Zane is called to be a bishop. The couple navigates the complexities of a non-believing bishop leading a congregation and the challenges of facing their doubts and fears while remaining true to themselves and their family.
Note: The airing of this episode was delayed at the request of the Beards until they felt more comfortable in their circumstances for it to become public.
