There's a phrase within the Mormon culture described as "breaking the shelf." It comes from the idea that when you unearth some aspect of church practice, doctrine, or history that you find troubling, you are encouraged you to shelf it (metaphorically). Put it away, doubt your doubts, have faith that God will make all things known in the end.
My next three episodes with my dear friend Daniel, during which he unloads the shelf. Over the next three episodes, we explore, what it means (at least for Daniel) to be Mormon and why, after many years, Daniel ultimately decided to take a different path, outside of the Mormon faith. Join me on this powerful, enlightening, heartwarming, heartbreaking journey with the brave and wonderful Daniel.
