| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast. I'm your host John |
| 0:04.6 | Delin. It is September 27th, 2021 and today we are broadcasting and live streaming from |
| 0:11.9 | the Mormon Stories podcast studios here in Salt Lake City, Utah. And I'm really excited |
| 0:16.9 | for today's episode super excited. Today we are interviewing Thomas and C.C. Stokes. Hey, |
| 0:23.6 | guys, welcome to the studio. Hello. How's it going? Pretty good. |
| 0:28.2 | Going very good. Yeah. Thanks. You guys may be wondering who are these people. So basically, |
| 0:33.4 | one of the ways that we find people to interview on Mormon Stories podcast these days is through |
| 0:39.1 | TikTok. It's not the only way, but it's one of the ways. And the other day I was kind of |
| 0:44.4 | browsing through Mormon and ex-mormon TikTok. And I saw this darling TikTok of Thomas and C.C. |
| 0:50.0 | Singing and Dancing and announcing maybe a couple new songs that Thomas has released as a musician. |
| 0:57.2 | So I reached out to them. They were interested. And what I thought would be super fun to do today's |
| 1:02.5 | episode is around the idea of healing through a Mormon faith crisis through music because Thomas |
| 1:10.0 | Stokes is a musician and he is recently releasing an EP, which I learned is a sort of like a small |
| 1:17.7 | album of like two or three songs. And so what I thought would be really fun to do, something we |
| 1:22.1 | did this with Jesse Funk a little bit. We've done this in the past with like Sarah Sample or |
| 1:26.5 | Angela so for others is to have a musician on who can interweave some of the songs into the |
| 1:34.2 | epic multi hour Mormon Stories podcast episode. So this episode would stand on its own because Thomas |
| 1:39.8 | and C.C. have their own their own really cool story about both being raised in different ways |
| 1:44.9 | in the Mormon faith Thomas serving a mission. And then C.C. maybe you know being a less orthodox |
| 1:50.7 | Mormon growing up as a Mormon teen. And then then finding each other falling in love. But also |
| 1:55.9 | early in their relationship Thomas having to deal with some questions or struggles about the faith |
| 2:00.8 | while he's at BYU. And then them dealing with their marriage and do they get married in the temple? |
