Healing the Worthiness Complex - Pt. 2 w/Jae Ford
In Part 2 of Jae’s story, he dives into the reasons that ultimately led him to leave the LDS Church after years of deep reflection and life experiences that shifted his perspective. Jae opens up about his concerns with the institutional culture and practices within the church, feeling that the values he once upheld were compromised by church policy that sometimes overshadowed personal integrity and open inquiry. He recalls experiences working for the church in various roles, where he observed a disconnect between the values the church espoused and the reality he encountered.
Jae also shares how his journey with his wife in exploring spiritual healing practices brought them closer to a direct, personal relationship with Christ—one that felt more honest and spiritually enriching than what they found within the church. This exploration allowed them to find healing and clarity outside the traditional LDS framework, and they began to feel increasingly aligned with a path that valued independent thought and personal faith over organizational loyalty. Jae discusses how this journey led him to question core LDS teachings and leadership structures, particularly surrounding issues like polygamy, the prioritization of church authority, and the marginalization of women’s voices within the institution.
As Jae recounts these transformative years, he explains how the increasing gap between God's word and the words of the church made it clear that his spiritual path was calling him elsewhere. Today, he feels at peace embracing a life centered on the teachings of Christ in a way that is free from the constraints he once felt, allowing him and his family to cultivate a faith based on genuine conviction, mutual respect, and authentic spiritual freedom in Jesus Christ. This episode reveals an honest and thought-provoking look at leaving a lifelong faith community to pursue a deeper truth.'
