Why People Leave the Church: There Is Only One Real Reason
September 1, 2026
Every person who has ever left The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints left for the exact same reason. Not a hundred reasons. One.
Here is the full article: https://www.firsthorseman.world/blog/why-people-leave-the-church
In this video I walk through the long list of reasons people give, the offense, the history, the unanswered prayer, the doctrine they could not accept, and then show what Alma 32 says is actually happening underneath every one of them.
I also address something I am watching happen almost weekly right now: good members being taken, not out the back door, but out the front, by men who build an audience and then tell them the Church has gone astray. Some of these men claim to be the one mighty and strong. Some claim to be the servant spoken of in Isaiah. I give you three questions that will identify every one of them in about ten seconds, and then I apply those same three questions to myself on camera.
