1:05:48Now PlayingIn this part of the interview, Wayne and Alex Sermon continue their discussion on their faith journey and experiences. Cracks start to form in their testimonies as they deal with discomfort with certain church teachings like the treatment of women in the church, and the Church's homophobia and support of Prop 8 banning gay marriage in California. As they uncover information that challenged their faith, Wayne expresses his shock and disillusionment, while Alex describes a sense of relief before experiencing grief. They discuss the reactions of others and the importance of trusting objective historical truth. They talk about the challenges of navigating their changing beliefs within their families and the positive response they received after coming out. They also touch on the concept of resigning from the church and their perspectives on the foundations of Mormonism. The interview concludes with their reflections on the overall positive outcome of their journey.
