🔒 Episode 232: Spiritual Scrupulosity [Part II of IV]-On Confession, Sexuality, and Personal Authority

Latter Day Struggles

Subscriber-only episode

In this episode two [of a four-part series] Valerie and guest author Taylor Kerby delve into the complexities of OCD scrupulosity within the context of the Latter-Day Saint faith.

They continue their conversation tackling the following topics connecting OCD spiritual scrupulosity with the LDS faith tradition:

1. Spiritual Exceptionalism (addressed primarily in episode 231)

2. Low emphasis on the cultivation of personal authority

3. High anxiety around sexuality and an integrated sexual identity

4. A transactional relationship with God

5. An atonement theology that leaves people feeling anxious, guilty, afraid, or shameful

The episode concludes with a call for church leaders to know their limits and a plea to direct individuals to professional help, aiming to foster a more supportive and growth-oriented environment for all connected to the church.
