The “spiritual” journey was made through excessive use of
distilled spirits.... as in booze.
Apparently the mormons picked up the pieces and cleaned him up. Could just as well been Baptists if he’d found their recovery ministries.
AA originally non-denominational.
Interesting....Glenn Beck turned to an organization that provided him with the discipline to conquer his alcohol abuse by infusing that goal with a religious purpose.
My early experience with the Mormon mishies was their attempt to convert me when I was on my way to Vietnam as a helicopter pilot. Said the magic garmies would protect me in a postcrash fire. My current interest in LDS is exploring the many unkind things their doctrinal authorities say about the Catholic Church which IMO is based upon sheer envy of Rome’s wealth & influence.

Maybe Glenn doesn’t go in for all the stuff about Jewish Indians, lack of archeological evidence, polygamy, star Kolob, or prophets named Alma, Ether, & Mosiah.
