Interview with Lindsay Hansen Park, Executive Director of Sunstone, Part 2

Shawn McCraney discusses the fallout experienced by former Mormons, criticizing both the LDS church for its exclusive teachings and American Evangelicalism for its burdensome and unbiblical practices. In a conversation with Lyndsay Hansen Park, he challenges the continued association with Mormonism due to its restrictive nature and explores the concept of shame in their experiences.

Shawn argues that while shame plays an important role in guiding behavior by discouraging pride and indulgence in harmful desires, modern society often misplaces its value by shaming people for differing perspectives rather than fostering humility and contrition. He suggests that a shift from a Biblical worldview to a Spirit worldview, which emphasizes love, can promote healthier interactions and community growth.
