Exmormonology is a podcast created to help you work through your faith crisis out of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, AKA The Mormons. Leaving high demand religion is most likely one of the hardest things you will ever do and takes longer than you think it will. My faith crisis began in 2006 and back in the day there was not a huge wonderful exmormon community that there is today. I felt very alone, especially as a woman. I did not see any women creating content that I needed ...

Shelby Hohsfield | Exmo Christian, Writer, Speaker, and unstoppable ENTHUSIAST of Living God’s Purpose after the Church.
I help women safely reconnect with God. I know what it is like to have so many questions about the Christian faith.

How do I raise my kids with faith when I’m still trying to figure it out? Where can I find a community I can trust? Why does every church feel like culture shock? Will I ever know Jesus?
