Brandy Bronson shares her journey growing up in the Mormon faith, where the pursuit of "exaltation" and perfectionism shaped her beliefs. After leaving Mormonism, her view of God shifted from a utilitarian perspective to one of awe and mystery, contrasting the Mormon belief in a progression of gods with the biblical view of a self-existent, sovereign God. Brandy reflects on the pressures of Mormon culture, particularly at BYU, where marriage and outward righteousness were emphasized. After starting a family, she and her husband struggled with church involvement, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic. This led them to question Mormon teachings, ultimately leaving the LDS church for Christianity. Her faith journey deepened after reading Is Atheism Dead?, which led her to explore grace and salvation through Christ rather than works. She rethought key doctrines and found freedom in a relationship with God based on grace. This transformation impacted her family, with her husband embracing church life and their children learning the difference between law and grace. Brandy wrote a book, The Journey to Jesus, to share her story and help others understand the contrast between Mormonism and Christianity.
