I want those people who would want to know the truth to learn all the truth about what the church really is and how the church helps and harms people, and then, if they've learned it so that they're like: okay, now I know what I'm a member of right and then they say: but I'm still good with it.
Rob and Chris sit down with John Dehlin, the voice behind the Mormon Stories Podcast, for an eye-opening conversation about faith, truth, and societal evolution. Dehlin shares the journey that led to his excommunication from the Mormon Church and how it spurred him to start his podcast. The discussion covers the profound impact of church teachings on the LGBTQ+ community and how Dehlin's own views on gay marriage shifted after delivering a powerful TED talk.
The episode doesn't shy away from tough topics like the internet's role in revealing church truths and the necessity for religious institutions to evolve with society. They also delve into the emotional toll of shame and guilt imposed by the church, particularly on mixed-faith marriages. Dehlin's mission is clear: he wants to shed light on the church's influence on people's lives and advocate for a more honest and inclusive approach to faith.
This episode offers a compelling look at one man's quest for truth and the broader implications for a community in flux.
