Download MP3

Join hosts Mike, Nemo, and John Dehlin as they delve into the intricacies of spiritual witnesses within Mormonism. How do sincere seekers often end up with different answers when appealing to “the Spirit”? Can individuals be exploited by circumstances deliberately designed to create feelings of spiritual confirmation? What are the consequences when “spiritual witnesses” go wrong?

Join us as we dive into the psychological phenomena of spiritual witnesses. We examine topics such as indoctrination, repetition, and the Illusory Truth effect, as well as other psychological mechanisms like confirmation bias, the backfire effect, and motivated reasoning. This episode can provide insight to your own spiritual experiences and provide tools to recognize attempts to manufacture the experience in you.

  2. The segment of other religions bearing their testimonies was genius. One of the most impactful episodes ever produced.

  3. I have listened to almost a hundred Mormon stories episodes over the years, and this one has been the most impactful for me, which is saying a lot because there is a mind blowing goldmine of content on this site. I am so deeply grateful for the work you all do that is offering healing to those of us deeply suffering out here.
