A Croatia & Slovenia Mormon Excommunication Story w/ Sara and Mitja Lakner Bevc | Ep. 2042

What happens when faith, culture, and conscience collide?


In this gripping full-length interview, Sara (American) and Mitja (Slovenian) share their deeply personal Mormon journeys—from conversion, missions, marriage, and cultural clashes to faith crises, public dissent in Utah church meetings, and ultimately, excommunication.


With raw honesty, they open up about the emotional toll of leaving the LDS Church, the pressure to conform, navigating belief in a mixed-faith marriage, and the high cost of asking difficult questions. Featuring moments of courage, heartbreak, and awakening, this episode explores what it means to choose integrity over silence.


Key Moments Include:

-Serving a missions in Croatia

-Struggles with identity, marriage, and belief

-Mitja’s public opposition in sacrament meeting

-Facing church discipline and excommunication

-Sara’s emotional departure from the LDS Church


A powerful story of love, loss, disruption—and starting over.
