Interview with Mark Payzant

Leaving a deeply ingrained faith community like Mormonism requires courage and can result in significant life changes, as individuals like the Wahlquists must decide between maintaining their established life structure or dismantling foundational beliefs to seek truth elsewhere. This process can evoke a range of emotions and necessitates finding new communities or beliefs to replace the Mormon foundation, as former members navigate their journey away from deeply embedded religious roots.

In seeking spiritual truth, avoid building your beliefs on any church, denomination, or religious foundation, as these are ultimately unstable and lead to repeated disillusionment; instead, place your trust directly in Christ Jesus, the only unyielding foundation. For true spiritual seekers, fulfillment and stability can only be found by grounding oneself in God through Jesus, eschewing religious doctrines that inevitably fall short.
