In this profound and heartfelt episode, we sit down with Trent Carter to explore his spiritual journey within and beyond the LDS church. Trent offers an intimate look into his life, beginning with his religious upbringing by his mom in the Covenant of the LDS church, and a less strict approach to standards with his dad. Growing up with a devout mother and dealing with the emotional turmoil of his parent's divorce, Trent's early years were marked with some confusion about which path he should or should not be on.
-
Trent's mission to Arcadia, California, was a turning point where his testimony of the Book of Mormon and Joseph Smith deepened. However, it also sparked a growing disillusionment with the church's focus on metrics over genuine spiritual experiences. Despite these challenges, Trent remained active in the church, fulfilling his duties and adhering to the expectations placed upon him.
-
After his mission, Trent married, and he and his wife continued to raise their family within the church. Yet, as they grew together, they began to notice significant differences between the church of their childhood and its current state. This realization prompted Trent and his wife to delve deeply into LDS scriptures, particularly around the controversial topic of polygamy.
-
Their extensive research and personal revelations led them to question the church's teachings and leadership, ultimately deciding that the path they were on did not align with truth as taught in scripture. Trent shares the profound impact of this journey on his faith and family life, including the challenges and liberating moments of officially leaving the LDS church.
-
Trent's story is one of courage, introspection, and unwavering pursuit of spiritual truth. His testimony of finding a deeper connection to Christ outside the church's structure is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Join us for this compelling interview that sheds light on the complexities of faith, the power of personal revelation, and the importance of coming to stand only with Christ.
