Something Holy in the Mess: Katie Langston

Our guest Katie Langston grew up in a devout, conservative Mormon family in Utah. She served a proselytizing mission to Bulgaria when she was 21, and married for "time and all eternity" in the Mormon temple when she was 23. From the outside, she had a typical Mormon life. Inside, she was coming apart at the seams. She battled intense doubt as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder, though she didn't have a diagnosis for either until much later.

In her recent book, Sealed: An Unexpected Journey into the Heart of Grace, our guest Katie Langston tells the story of her long road through grief and doubt into a deeper connection with her Christian faith.

Katie Langston is a doubter by nature and a believer by grace. She is the director of digital strategy for Luther Seminary's innovation team, where she oversees digital projects aimed at cultivating vibrant Christian spirituality in a postmodern, post-Christian cultural context. She writes and speaks to Christian audiences about Mormonism, and to Mormon audiences about Christianity, and is a popular blogger, podcast guest, and preacher.
