Episode 5 of Truth explores faith crises within the LDS Church through the lens of the BITE model (Behavior, Information, Thought, and Emotional control). The hosts examine how the church manages historical narratives, handles "uncorrelated information," and responds to members experiencing doubts. Through analysis of a 2013 study and various sources, they discuss the tension between institutional control and individual faith journeys.
