"Idyllic" Mormon Family - Mike And Michele Seamons Pt. 2 | Ep. 2194

<p>We are back with Michele and Mike Seamons in part 2 of this interview with the “Idyllic” Mormon family.</p><p><br></p><p>In part 2, they detail how their picture of the Mormon dream can come with plenty of challenges. They build and lose businesses, move across the country multiple times, and repeatedly find themselves rebuilding their lives. Through it all, they respond by doubling down on their commitment to Mormonism and church service.</p><p><br></p><p>Mike eventually finds himself serving as a bishop, where the responsibilities of counseling members and conducting disciplinary councils begin to change how he sees church leadership. At the same time, Michele’s relationship with the church begins to shift as music and other Christian influences introduce her to a different way of thinking about God.</p><p><br></p><p>As their family and church lives continue to evolve, Mike and Michele begin confronting questions that will eventually force them to reconsider what faith looks like to them.</p><p><br></p><p>https://seekwonderway.substack.com</p><p>___________________</p><p><br></p><p><a href="https://youtu.be/xIteF8O1Clo" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">YouTube</a></p><p><a href="https://www.mormonstories.org/idyllic-mormon-family/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferer">Show Notes</a></p><p><br></p><p>At Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as well as scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals.  </p><p><br></p><p>Our overall mission is to: </p><p>1.
