Hello, and welcome to Mormon Stories Thrive Stories edition. I am your host, Margie Dillin,

and I am joined today by my co-host of the day, John Dillin. How you doing over there, John?

Hey, Margie, I'm excited to be your co-host for today.

I am excited to have you as my co-host. How's your morning been?

You know, we juggle a lot of balls here at the Opus Stories Foundation, but I love my job.

Let me point out something about my morning that you helped it be a joy. How's that?

That sounds great. This morning, John made veggie stir fry. I feel like what was in that stir fry

because it was magic this morning when I ate it.

I had Brussels sprouts, mixed vegetables, mushrooms, snow peas.

Were there beans in it? Beans and rice.

It was delicious. So a little joy. Back to Thrive Stories, though.

So for those of you that are new to Thrive Stories, Thrive Stories is an interview series that is

largely focused on healing and growth. So the idea is to pick an area of thriving post-faith transition

into explorate. They tend to be shorter around two hours as opposed to the longer form interviews

of Mormon stories. You can either nominate someone you know or you can nominate yourself.

If you're interested in doing that, we'll have a link below that you can click on.

Some sample areas of thriving could be what we're going to focus on today, parenting.

Or it could be healthy marriage. It could be finding community.

It could be a rebuilding identity or purpose. What am I missing, John?

What are some of the other ones? I don't know. So just anything that you think is a common

area where people struggle in a faith crisis and where you think you have something to share.

Yeah. It can be anything if you feel like it's broadly applicable.
