| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome back to another episode of Mormon Stories podcast. I'm your host John |
| 0:04.6 | Delin. It is July 20th, 2021 and today we are so thrilled to have in studio a face that will be |
| 0:15.4 | familiar to I'm guessing most if not all of you. Today we have back in studio in studio for the |
| 0:22.9 | first time actually because we interviewed her and her wonderful family at her home in Ohio. Yeah. |
| 0:31.1 | Leah Young. Welcome back to Mormon Stories podcast. Thanks so much. I'm really excited to be here. |
| 0:37.2 | For those of you who are brand new to Mormon Stories podcast, you may not know who Leah Young is, |
| 0:43.4 | but I will tell you I was telling Leah and Cody and their wonderful family just earlier today. |
| 0:49.5 | They came to our home in holiday. We hung out for a little bit. If I had to name three |
| 0:55.9 | sort of family faith transition stories in the history of Mormon Stories podcast, |
| 1:01.8 | I would have to say the Leah and Cody and Bradley Young Mormon Stories podcast episode is top three |

| 1:59.2 | Of course, that became a problem for the LDS church. There were other episodes. We interviewed |
| 2:05.7 | Leah and Cody and Bradley at the time. They're 15-year-old daughter. Yeah, 14 or 15. 14 or 15. |
| 2:13.5 | It was just an epic multi-hour heart wrenching and inspiring interview of this beautiful |
| 2:21.3 | in-it-to-win-it Mormon family, super-orthodox Mormon family. Usually one or the other in the |
| 2:28.1 | marriage. They were both in it-to-win-it. Anyway, it's just a fantastic gripping faith transition. |
