John Dehlin did not want to say his podcast was unaffiliated with the Church, and did not want to refrain from using protected names and design elements that look a lot like the Church's. So the Church filed a lawsuit.
MoSt thrives on keeping people angry and constantly asking for money, rather than helping them heal and move forward. Toxic community. Peace isn’t profitable for them—they don’t want it for you.
They mock former friends who are doing genuine good. Listen for when they laugh at o... more
As an ex-Mormon turned born-again Christian, I am beyondddd grateful to have discovered Mormon stories. I truly believe God created this podcast to help millions of people access the truth behind the LDS corporation. I pray God will continue to spread the truth about this false institution and more people will be freed
I’m a ‘never LDS’ listener. I came from a high demand religion that doesn’t have much in terms of people leaving or breaking it down. This comes close for me to know I don’t feel alone in various experiences. Margi and John are incredibly compassionate to believers and non-believers alike. They don’t attack/ dissuade believing members. It feels good to have a channel that believes in an informed environment. TY for your work Margi and John

I’ve found myself better understanding and empathizing with not only Mormons (at all stages of adherence), but those in other high control groups. It’s also given me insight into my own liberation theology cultural Catholic upbringing, both articulating why I have never identified as Christian, and a window into the experi... more
