Many LDS Church members have a shelf where they pile up questions about the history, doctrines, theology, social practices and lifestyle requirements of the church organization.
Sometimes, when the shelf breaks (or starts to bow and crack), they leave the church, or are at most PIMO (physically in, mentally out).
If they do leave, they often discover that coffee tastes quite good. Also tea. And sometimes, well, wine or beer.
In other words, they begin to enjoy life without many of the LDS behavioral and lifestyle restrictions ... and, well, the required investments of money (i.e., required tithing) and time (callings, scheduled church services and events, etc.). Sometimes to an excess.
But that's not The Big Flip.
The Big Flip is the tendency to leave God behind entirely, and adopt a decidedly not-Christian world view (i.e., atheism, agnosticism, non-Christian religion, or nothing at all).
This inaugural Transition 2 Hope Nutshell Episode considers The Big Flip as a backdrop for future podcasts.
