In this compelling episode of the Clairity Podcast, host Claire engages in an in-depth conversation with Keli Von Gunten, a woman whose profound journey of faith and self-discovery has led her to redefine her spiritual path. As a lifelong member of the LDS Church and a former Relief Society president, Keli devoted much of her life to serving her faith community with unwavering dedication.

However, Keli’s story takes a transformative turn as she opens up about the significant moments that led her to question and ultimately leave the LDS Church. She candidly discusses the discomfort she felt with the church's bureaucratic structure and the poignant realizations she had about foundational aspects of the faith, including Joseph Smith, temple garments, and polygamy. Keli shares the internal and external challenges she faced as she began to seek a more personal and direct connection with Jesus Christ, one that she felt was not fully realized within the church's framework.

Throughout the episode, Keli provides invaluable insights into the emotional and spiritual struggles of leaving a long-established religious community. Keli and Claire delve into controversial and rarely discussed topics in this episode like pedophile Stake Presidents, pornography in temples, and even the Pied Piper and how that story may or may not relate to the methods of satanic practices within the church.

Listeners will also find practical advice from Keli on how to navigate the process of removing their records from the church, a step that can be both daunting and liberating. Her story is a beacon of hope for those who may find themselves questioning the practices of the church, with the desire to find freedom in Christ.

Joel 2:27-29
27 And ye shall know that I am in the midst of Israel, and that I am the Lord your God, and none else: and my people shall never be ashamed.
28 And it shall come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit upon all flesh; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream dreams, your young men shall see visions:
29 And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
