## Resource

In this episode, I talk about a powerful video from a creator known as Beeba the Beautiful, where she reflects on her experience with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and why some people choose to leave — while others stay.She shares her personal journey of serving a mission and eventually stepping away from the faith. The video is honest, emotional, and thought-provoking, offering a grounded look at belief, identity, and change.You can check out her channel here: https://www.youtube.com/@BebathebeautifulI wanted to highlight it here because it raises important questions about faith journeys and the different paths people take when reevaluating what they believe.Whether you're still in, out, or somewhere in between, it's a story worth hearing.Please consider making a donation by joining our Patreon https://www.patreon.com/MormonNewsRoundup Email: kolob@mormonnewsroundup.org Website: https://mormonnewsroundup.org/ TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mormonnewsroundup Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mormon_news_roundup/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100093511869924 X: https://twitter.com/NewsMormon New episodes LIVE every Sunday and Monday nights at 9:30PM ESTPlease like and subscribe and hit the notifications bell.
