For Mormon / LDS Americans
The Ward, the World, and the Questions You're Not Supposed to Ask
The ward. The world. The questions in between. This is where you name what you believe.
For the Mormon or Latter-day Saint American person working through what it means to hold LDS faith identity alongside personal questions, doubts, or the experience of living outside the ward community
The Name It First Experience
LDS faith shapes identity in ways that few other American religious traditions do — the ward community, the missionary structure, the temple covenants, the Word of Wisdom, the family-centered theology. When you hold questions about any of it — or when the world outside the ward operates by different rules — you navigate a specific kind of identity tension. This workbook is about naming what LDS faith means to you personally, what questions you are holding, and what you are choosing. You leave with The Mormon / LDS Americans Identity Charter — a named account of who you are.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does it mean to be Mormon American — navigating the ward, the world, and the questions you're not supposed to ask?
- What has the LDS faith given you that you love and want to carry?
- What questions are you working through that the ward hasn't fully made space for?
Research basis
Grounded in Dehlin's research on Mormon faith crisis and transition, Fowler's stages of faith development, and Park's research on religious identity and psychological well-being in LDS populations.
