Mormon Seminary Teacher Resigned LAST WEEK & Tells Us Why - Riley Davis | Ep. 2054

Mormon Seminary Teacher Resigned LAST WEEK & Tells Us Why - Riley Davis | Ep. 2054

Today we are continuing our series of interviews with LDS Church Education System employees. Today’s guest is extra special, as he resigned from his seminary teaching position just days before the filming of this episode!


Riley Davis was born into the church and grew up in a very traditional Mormon family in Utah. As the son of an LDS bishop, Riley struggled with depression due to religious scrupulosity in his youth, but found healing and growth through church youth programs like the Boy Scouts of America—an experience that inspired him to continue working with youth for the rest of his life. After serving a mission in Buenos Aires, Riley eventually became a math and science teacher but was soon presented with an opportunity to work for CES as an LDS seminary teacher.


Riley also shares with John insights into the current state of the CES program and where it may be headed in the future.


Content Warning: This episode discusses self-harm. Please listen with care.
