Normalize the “truth about Mormonism” including both factual events and experiential knowledge.

Yes, the truth is that there are historical anachronisms in there, but the truth is also that millions of folks have found God in its pages anyway.

We can hold space for both. 1/4

I love the Book of Mormon more than any other book perhaps because I love it not for what it says but for what it is.

Idk if its words are true anymore than I know if God exists, but I find God in the artifact and that’s been enough. 2/4

Nuance and context are important, and the Church’s deceptive “correlation” of history is spiritual abuse. However, that does not make the Mormon spiritual experience invalid, nor does it make the God of Mormonism any less transformative.

God shows up where God shows up. 3/4

No amount of white knight “truth-telling” changes what God can do with our broken desperation for meaning. Any story, inspired or contrived, that takes you into God’s voice is as true as you need it to be. 4/4
