Summary: Bill Reel from <a href="http://www.mormondiscussionpodcast.org/" target="_blank">Mormon Discussion Podcast</a> joins me again for chapter 2 in our discussion about the leader's role in assisted Church members that experience a faith crisis.<br> <br> In this interview we discuss the framework of the Fowler 6 Stages of Faith. Understanding these concepts will help LDS leaders gain a deeper perspective of the stages people experience when facing serious doubts of faith. Bill spends some time explaining what each faith stage represents and then why stages 3 and 4 are the most important stages for a Church leader to understand. We also discuss how leaders can create room for these individuals in their ward or quorums.<br> <br> For better understanding on this topic, check out our <a href="https://leadingsaints.org/helping-others-through-a-faith-crisis-understanding-the-leaders-role/">first interview</a> about helping other through a faith crisis.<br> <br> <br> Links & Resources:<br> <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Critical-Journey-Stages-Second-Edition/dp/1879215497" target="_blank">Critical Journey Book</a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.adamsmiller.net/" target="_blank">Adam Miller Website</a><br> <br> <a href="http://www.thebattleofarmageddon.com/stages_of_faith.pdf" target="_blank">Stages of Faith</a> (a deeper explanation)<br> <br> <a href="http://www.faithformationlearningexchange.net/uploads/5/2/4/6/5246709/faith_development__faith_formation_-_keeley.pdf" target="_blank">Faith Development & Faith Formation: More Than Just Ages and Stages</a><br> <br> <a href="http://richalger.blogspot.com/2012/09/praying-with-your-feet.html" target="_blank">An article from an LDS leader addressing how to make more room for Stage 4 Mormons</a><br> <br> <a href="http://mormon-chronicles.blogspot.com/2012/01/rescue-plan-to-address-difficulties-of.html?m=1" target="_blank">Excerpts from Elder Marlin K.
