Let’s Get Real with Stephen Jones

Church Psychologist: Why So Many Latter-day Saints Still Feel Unworthy | Dr. Kawika Allen E0036


Listen Later

Many faithful Saints silently wrestle with the same question: “Why do I still feel broken?” In this powerful episode, Dr. Kawika Allen unpacks the hidden spiritual struggle of scrupulosity—anxiety disguised as righteousness—and how it convinces even the most devoted disciples that they’re never enough.

What if the reason you feel unworthy isn’t because you’ve failed, but because you’ve been trying to earn what was never meant to be earned?
