🪞 I Don’t Have a Faith Crisis — I Have a Church Crisis! When the Truth Cracks the Glass — and the Light Comes In
🪞 I Don’t Have a Faith Crisis — I Have a Church Crisis!
When the Truth Cracks the Glass — and the Light Comes In
🕊️✍️ By The True Remnant
(Updated in light of Waking Up Zion)
💔 “I Tried to Save My Son’s Testimony… and Lost My Own.”
That’s not rebellion.
That’s not laziness.
That’s what happens when honest Saints finally open the door the manuals never mentioned —
and find a Savior still waiting inside,
but a system that quietly stepped in front of Him.
🚪 THE DOOR NO ONE WARNED US ABOUT
This isn’t about caffeine or covenants.
It’s about courage.
Relief Society presidents, bishopric members, temple workers —
faithful people who went searching for Joseph’s real words,
or Brigham’s real deeds,
and stumbled into the unfiltered record of history.
They opened that hidden door.
And the air smelled different.
More like truth.
Less like control.
📱 THE INTERNET BROKE THE MONOPOLY
For the first time in 200 years, the Church no longer owns its own narrative.
The walls of correlation cracked.
Faithful Saints can now read Joseph’s journals,
Emma’s letters,
and early revelations side by side.
And what they find doesn’t match the Sunday story.
They’re not learning from “anti-Mormons.”
They’re learning from each other.
📊 WHO’S LEAVING?
Not the rebellious.
The reverent.
The tithe payers.
The temple recommend holders.
They’re not walking away from Christ.
They’re walking toward Him —
through the rubble of an institution that mistook loyalty for light.
⚡ THE REAL TRIGGER
People aren’t leaving because they’re offended.
They’re leaving because they’re awake.
Because they discovered that the organization claiming to speak for God
has sometimes hidden the very words He already spoke.
“I gave my whole life to a church that wasn’t honest with me.”
— Anonymous Saint, 40s
They didn’t lose faith.
They lost the illusion.
And for many, that was the beginning of Waking Up Zion.
🌀 THE SPIRAL
Discovery.
Denial.
Dissonance.
Dismissal.
Distance.
Deliverance.
One day they stop fearing the questions.
And start walking with Christ again — without a middleman.
🧭 WHAT THEY REALLY WANT
They don’t want a new church.
They want the true one back.
The one Joseph saw when he said,
“I asked the Lord which of all the sects was right… and He said none of them.”
The same rebuke still echoes today —
only now, it’s directed at the sect that grew up in Joseph’s name.
They want honesty instead of hierarchy.
Spirit instead of structure.
Zion instead of Babylon.
🕊️ WHAT WAKING UP ZION TAUGHT ME
This isn’t a faith crisis.
It’s the sound of heaven breaking a counterfeit shell.
Waking Up Zion isn’t about leaving the Church —
it’s about leaving the lies.
It’s about remembering what the Restoration actually restored:
the right to hear His voice for yourself.
When that truth finally cracks the glass,
you don’t lose faith —
you finally see through it.
💬 A FINAL WORD FROM THE FAITHFUL
“I still attend. Still serve. Still pay tithing.
But my heart? It no longer belongs to the institution.
I stay for peace. But I miss the Church I thought I knew.”
— Anonymous Bishopric Counselor
That ache is sacred.
It’s the Spirit saying, “You’re close.”
🌱 DEAR READER
If this sounds like you, you’re not broken.
You’re being born.
If it sounds like someone you love,
don’t slam the door behind them.
Walk beside them.
Listen.
Because Jesus never shamed the doubters.
He walked with them —
until their hearts burned again.
🔥 And that’s not a crisis.
That’s Zion beginning to wake.
