When the pillars of faith begin to quake, will you retreat to familiar ground, or brave the tremors to seek answers?
Musician and doctoral audiology student, Marlisa Wootton, recalls a pivotal moment in 2020 when she dared to confront the unsettling waves of a faith crisis—an inner storm that questioned the spiritual foundation she once thought unshakable. Taking the risk of willingly diving into controversial thought spirals and studies on Church history, societal issues, and personal identity, she found herself at a crossroads: remain in familiar but secluded territory, or rebuild a testimony strong enough to find the answers to her faith's purpose.
Fueled by curiosity, Marlisa chose a path of bold inquiry—discovering that deconstruction can bring about a tender new understanding of Heavenly Father’s boundless love. Through heartfelt introspection on everything from LGBTQ matters to the longing for Heavenly Mother, her journey blossomed into an inspired musical calling: rewriting and composing cherished hymns to reflect the beauty of embracing questions without losing faith.
Join us as Marlisa reveals how searching for truth in the deepest doubts awakened a richer spiritual resonance and fortified her resolve to remain exactly where God needed her to be. Her story stands as a hopeful testament that every moment of spiritual upheaval can become a sacred invitation to look deeper, love more resolutely, and rediscover the unbreakable promise of the Savior’s guiding presence.
