| 0:00.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast. I am your host John |
| 0:04.4 | Delin. It's November 9th, 2022. And we are here for what we think is a really important |
| 0:11.0 | panel discussion. We are here to review a recent talk given by brother Ahmad Corbett. The |
| 0:18.9 | talk was given on October 4th during conference weekend. And it was a talk addressed to LDS |

| 1:44.1 | Yeah. So I joined the fellow Texan. Yep. I think you're from Katie. I'm from Katie. Yeah. |
| 1:48.2 | From San Antonio. Yeah. So yeah, I just joined the Church and went on mission and |
| 1:53.9 | was active for a while. I had children that were baptized in the Church and |
| 1:58.4 | did everything I thought was right at the time and I decided that's not working. So. When |
