À PROPOS DE CET ÉPISODE
In this episode of Latter Day Bridge Builders, Mitch sits down with James Linton, an active member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, to talk about the uncomfortable space between belief and disbelief; and why so many relationships get stuck there.
Instead of debating doctrine, this conversation digs into how members and ex-members see each other, why fear and silence creep into friendships, and what actually helps bridge the gap.
They explore ideas like:
- Why religious identity feels so personal, and so fragile
- How institutions struggle with nuance (and people don’t have to)
- Alcohol, social spaces, and unspoken rules
- Why “no strings attached” time might be the most radical act of bridge-building
- The danger of believing you possess all the truth
This episode isn’t about changing minds. It’s about remembering the humanity on the other side—and learning how to stay connected without preaching, fixing, or disappearing.
🎧 If you’ve ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells with believing or former-believing family and friends, this one’s for you.
