How Will You Be Moral After You Have Left the Church

Can you be a moral person once you’ve stepped away from your religion? This seems to be a question that is often asked about someone who has left their faith. On this episode of Mormonish Podcast, we dive into ethics and morality with our special guest, Widow’s Mite spokesperson, Professor Spencer Anderson. Spencer has recently appeared in the last of a three part Mormon Stories series on church finance and will soon appear on Mormonism Live to drop another financial bombshell from the Widow’s Mite. There are many ethical and moral questions they arise in these discussions about church finance and Rebecca and Landon take it to a broader level with Professor Spencer to discuss the whole spectrum of morality in society and individual ethics. We delve into this question by basing our discussion on one of Professor Spencer‘s favorite books, “How to Be Perfect: The Correct Answer to Every Moral Question” by Michael Schur, creator of “The Good Place.” We just loved all the insights Professor Spencer shared! We think you’ll really enjoy this discussion as much as we did!
