Doubt·Not

01 — Start Here

You’re not broken. You’re not alone.

If you’re here, something is shaking your faith. Maybe you read something that disturbed you. Maybe someone you trust left the Church. Maybe doubts have been building quietly for years and you’ve been afraid to say them out loud.

Whatever brought you here — you’re not broken, you’re not weak, and you’re not alone. The pain is real. The questions are real. And the way through is real.

The pattern of a faith crisis

Faith crises tend to follow a shape. You encounter troubling information — about Church history, about Joseph Smith, about doctrine — and suddenly everything you believed feels uncertain. The temptation is to chase down every question, hoping that if you can just answer them all, the doubt will go away.

It doesn’t work that way.

Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge, a General Authority who was assigned to read every piece of anti-Church material available, described it plainly:

“You can spend a lifetime desperately tracking down the answer to every claim leveled against the Church and never come to a knowledge of the most important truths.”Elder Lawrence E. Corbridge, “Stand Forever,” BYU Devotional, January 22, 2019

A different approach

This site walks you through a different path — one that begins not with the hardest questions, but with the most important ones. We call them the primary questions. If you can answer those, everything else finds its proper place.

Then we’ll look squarely at the secondary questions — the ones that probably brought you here. Not to argue. To put them in proportion, and to point you to what the Church has actually published on each one.

And then we’ll teach the practice — the daily, deliberate practice — of building faith and casting out doubt. Because doubt isn’t answered. Doubt is removed.
