my mormon stories interview

a few weeks ago i sat down in front of a camera with john dehlin of mormon stories (and now director of sunstone) for a short interview. if you don't know what mormon stories is, for the past two years john dehlin has been has been interviewing and recording podcasts with various mormons sharing their stories. interviewees include richard bushman, margaret toscano, gregory prince, grant palmer, and richard dutcher. this is part 3 of a series he is doing on the rising generation of mormons. i chose the words estrangement and reconciliation as i feel they adequately describe my ongoing relationship with god, the mormon (especially happy valley) community, and my own spirituality.

i'll post a direct link to the mormon stories post when it is posted.


as soon as the interview was over and i left the room, i remembered a dozen other things i wanted to talk about. oh well. after watching it i realized that i look up a lot and my upper lip has an occasional elvis curl. i also wish i was as articulate as my friend ashley.

  1. Great interview! I love Mormon Stories and even though I don't know you I read your blog every once in a while just because I'm going through some of the same struggles that you've gone through. Well done!

  2. Loyd, I can't believe you got interviewed for MS podcast. I am a big fan of John's and his efforts, although I don't agree w/ all his personal beliefs, he is one of the best people I have known of.

    I'll have to watch the podcast when I get some time and let you know what I thought. Don't forget to remember us little people when you become even more famous!

  3. Wow, awesome interview. As much as I've liked the last two MS interviews, I think yours is the best so far of the "Rising Generation" series.
