Apostasy 101

These are the things I think are most helpful to someone who no longer believes in the LDS gospel and is going through a faith transition. As you’ll notice, these resource lists are far from complete. I’m working on getting stuff written and up.

I would recommend you start with First Things, but after that the order you go in depends on what you need most. If you don’t know what you need to feel better, then my suggestion would be to focus on your mental health.

Part of the idea of the Apostasy 101 overview is to enable you to learn a little bit about each of the main topics people often learn about when they leave the Church so that you can figure out what you most need to delve more deeply into. Theoretically, you can then get what you need to feel happier sooner rather than spending a year learning about Church history only to realize that what you actually needed to do first was work on your emotional regulation skills.

But of course, if you want to delve into a particular topic right now, then head over to Deep Dives to find some resources. You do you.
