Community of Christ Doctrine and Covenants 161:3d reminds us that “the road to transformation travels both inward and outward.” In this episode of Fair Trade, Robin Linkhart sits down with Matt Robertson for part one of a two-part interview in which Matt describes his chaotic childhood home life, his deep religious commitment, and his eventual deconstruction of faith. He also shares how his fear of disrupting his family caused him to internalize much of the early struggles of his journey. In the end, it’s the strong bond that his family has formed that becomes the strength to continue... together.
