Graduated BYU and Resigned Immediately – Ryan Huey | Ep. 2136

April 13, 2026

What would compel a BYU student to resign from the Church immediately after graduation? Join us today as we explore this question and more with our guest, Ryan Huey.

Ryan was raised in Missouri as one of six children in a very devout Mormon family. He served an LDS mission in Texas, worked as an EFY counselor, and later attended BYU–Provo. But at multiple points throughout his Mormon upbringing, the foundations of his faith began to show cracks.

Topics include:
-Shame cycles
-Mission struggles
-Finding identity beyond Mormonism
-BYU student culture and more

We hope you enjoy this thoughtful conversation about faith, identity, and how to redefine your life beyond Mormonism.
