Bishop Earl Erskine’s Transformative Journey Beyond Mormonism
Bishop Earl’s journey is a compelling narrative of transformation and discovery. Raised in the LDS church, his life was deeply intertwined with its teachings and community. However, over time, subtle doubts began to surface, leading to a pivotal moment of realization that something was amiss. This awakening prompted a significant shift in his life, affecting his family, friends, and fellow ward members.
A memorable meeting at a local Burger King marked the beginning of a new chapter. It was here that the Ex Mormon Files were launched, a project that has since grown significantly.

Today, Bishop Earl travels extensively, sharing his experiences and insights. He engages with groups focused on reaching out to the LDS community, noting a general perception of change within the faith. Despite differing views, he advocates for understanding and dialogue, offering advice to active LDS members, those transitioning out, and those exploring new spiritual paths.
Bishop Earl emphasizes the importance of continuous learning in the Christian faith, acknowledging the diverse perspectives within it. His journey is a testament to the power of questioning, growth, and the pursuit of truth.
