What happens when your deepest beliefs are shaken?

Steph Lentz once defended her church’s conservative teachings about marriage and sex, until she fell in love with a woman and her world turned upside-down. Brendan Watkins grew up unaware of the identity of his birth parents, only to discover that his mother was a nun. And his father was a celebrated outback missionary.

Two remarkable true stories.
