• Claire Dalton • Season 1 • Episode 35

In this episode of The Clarity Podcast, we sit down with Ashton Staples, a young man whose life took an unexpected turn when he was sent home early from his mission. Raised in a devout LDS family, Ashton was committed to his faith and excited to serve as a missionary. However, as he began to delve deeper into his church's history and doctrines while on the mission, Ashton encountered unsettling truths.

As he struggled to reconcile his new understanding with his lifelong beliefs, Ashton faced scrutiny from those around him. His questions and newfound insights eventually led to a decision—he was sent home from his mission. In this episode, Ashton shares the emotional and spiritual turmoil of that experience, the experiences of being falsely labeled, and the profound journey of self-discovery and faith that followed.

Join us as Ashton bravely opens up about his journey of searching for truth, dealing with the fallout of his decision, and finding a new path that brings him closer to a relationship with Jesus. His story is a powerful testament to the courage it takes to confront difficult truths and the resilience needed to stand for truth.
