Leader Leaves Church: The Second Anointing w/ Hans & Birgitta Mattsson Ep. 1919 - Sheena Peterson

In this episode of the Mormon Stories Podcast, John Dehlin interviews Hans and Birgitta Mattsson, who share their experiences with the Mormon Church’s second anointing. The second anointing is a secret ceremony that promises exaltation in heaven, meaning the recipients will become gods and rule over their own planets. Hans and Birgitta, who were once high-ranking members of the church, describe their journey from faith to doubt.
Hans served as an area authority in Sweden and was involved in the Swedish Rescue, an event where church leaders tried to address concerns about church history. Despite these efforts, Hans experienced a faith crisis and eventually left the church. The Mattssons explain the details of the second anointing ceremony, including the washing of feet and the blessings given. They reflect on the emotional and spiritual impact of the ceremony, noting its secrecy and exclusivity.
The video highlights the challenges faced by those who question their faith and the efforts of the church to maintain its teachings. Hans and Birgitta’s story is a powerful example of the complexities of faith and the personal struggles that come with it. Their journey from belief to doubt and their experiences with the second anointing provide a unique insight into the inner workings of the Mormon Church.
