Today we sit down with Coy Johnston, a longtime active member of the LDS Church, to explore what it looks like to question Mormonism without completely walking away.Coy grew up in Mesa, Arizona, served a mission in England, became a doctor, and spent his life deeply involved in the church. His faith began to shift as he studied scripture and biblical scholarship, and issues with early Mormon church history. He shares how learning more about church history changed his understanding of Mormonism and led him into a faith crisis that affected his family, callings, and relationship with church leaders.Rather than leaving, Coy began looking for ways to support other members who were going through similar struggles. He created a group called “Journeys,” where people could openly discuss their questions and doubts. When church leaders learned about the meetings, they asked him to stop holding them and eventually threatened to withhold his temple recommend if he did not dissolve the group.Other topics include:-Perfectionism and worthiness-Mormon history and biblical scholarship-Mixed-faith marriage-Bishop roulette-Supporting members with faith questionsHis story raises an important question: Can you remain Mormon while admitting you don&#39;t have all the answers?<a href="https://www.mormonstories.org/bishop-and-stake-president-conflict-after-a-mormon-faith-crisis/">Show Notes</a><a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yuyi26RHQ_c">YouTube</a>Mormon Stories Thanks Our Generous Donors!Help us continue to deliver quality content by becoming a donor today:<ul><li><a href="https://donorbox.org/mormon-stories?default_interval=m">One-time or recurring donation through Donorbox</a></li><li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/mormonstories">Support us on Patreon</a></li><li><a href="https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/mormonstories">PayPal</a></li><li><a href="https://account.venmo.com/u/mormonstories">Venmo</a></li></ul>Our Platforms:<ul><li><a href="https://www.youtube.com/mormonstories?sub_confirmation=1">YouTube</a></li><li><a href="https://www.patreon.com/mormonstories">Patreon</a></li><li><a href="https://open.spotify.com/show/4sDzk7dRjODTSEqzZKZJzk?si=148b0efc1ccc4404">Spotify</a></li><li><a href="https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mormon-stories-lds/id312094772">Apple Podcasts</a></li></ul>Contact us:MormonStories@gmail.comPO Box 171085, Salt Lake City, UT 84117Social Media:<ul><li><a href="https://www.instagram.com/mormstories">Insta: @mormstories</a></li><li><a href="https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonstoriespodcast">TikTok: @mormonstoriespodcast</a></li><li><a href="https://discord.com/invite/kuX5p6yyjF">Join the Discord</a></li></ul>
