Navigating Progressive Mormonism with Carol Lynn Pearson, Jana Riess, and Jana Johnson Spangler

In these episodes of Mormon Transitions, John and Margi interview Carol Lynn Pearson, Jana Riess, and Jana Johnson Spangler to explore their experiences as they navigate progressive Mormonism.

We cover important topics such as:

• Each panelist’s experience when their faith became more complex and whether they would self-describe as a Mormon
• What made them choose to remain engaged in the Church
• What the most valuable aspects of the faith are to each of them, and how they inform and impact their life
• Their social experience in their wards and whether they feel alone or among many others who are navigating a middle-way
• How they approach Sundays and whether they have supplemented their Sunday experience with anything that would be helpful to share with our audience
• Whether they observe a decline in the health and vitality of the Church
