Ashlie and Jessa talk about Bill Reel's recent episode on Mormon Discussions - 353  'Those who leave and the stories we tell'  >>  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/mormon-discussion-353-those-who-leave-stories-we-tell/id1371728932?i=1000487986472 (( members and non-members, mormons and ex-mormons - everyone could learn something valuable from this episode. )) Then they discuss mental health during a faith crisis - whether it's personal or in someone you love.  If you have experienced, are experiencing or know someone in the middle of a faith crisis, we hope this brings you a little more awareness to the situation. By talking about uncomfortable situations, hopefully we can start the conversation that is avoided far too often.
