Stop scrolling for a sixty second serenade by @davidarchie This ep, we dig deep into David’s coming out story, leaving Mormonism and finding God again outside the LDS Church. The American Idol star and author of Devout shares his experience with religious trauma, LGBTQ+ identity, purity culture, faith deconstruction, OCD, moral scrupulosity and the shame that once made him believe his soul was “dirty.” David explains how accepting his sexuality transformed his mental health, his relationship with Jesus and his understanding of spirituality, love and belonging. #DavidArchuleta #Mormonism #LGBTQ #ReligiousTrauma #WhitneyHouston
