Episode 14 - Mormon Culture

Dear Media
About this episode

Chels and Jace jump into religion this week! This episode was HIGHLY requested. They get down to the nitty gritty & open up about their experiences growing up as active members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints aka LDS aka "Mormon". The girls discuss their opinions on the culture that comes along with the church, why it can be hard to open up about religion on social media, and their own personal beliefs and struggles. They also talk about how important love & acceptance is & why it seems easier for Mormons & religious people of other beliefs to judge people within their same religion. Lots of tears this week on a touchy but special episode of WWS!
