Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Warm Stories Podcast.

I'm your host John Delinn.

I'm here with my dear, amazing, brilliant partner, Margie.

We're on location in Nashville, Tennessee, or better said in Brentwood, Tennessee.

We are here with Darren and Jennifer Rogers.

They have been so gracious and kind enough to invite us here, not only to do an

amazing epic three-plus-hour interview with them, but also to host a Mormon stories meetup where we're going to have over 150 people from all over the region, not just Tennessee, but also Kentucky and Georgia and other states,

literally for one purpose to find friends and community of support

while they're going through their own Mormon faith journeys or, you know, left the church

or left the church a

the church a long time ago and just need new friends and community.

So we're super excited to be here,

super grateful you to have us,

and we're so excited to dive in and learn more about your epic

Mormon story so Darren and Jennifer Rogers welcome to Mormon Stories

podcast thanks for joining us thank you so so much. Happy to be here.

As always on Mormon Source Podcast, our goal is to just give people space to tell their story and to share what the Mormon Church meant to them in their lives and if they've moved on to kind of tell that part of the story too.

So we're really excited to jump into it and I think the main one of the main themes today is going to be parenting beyond

Mormonism because y'all were kind of with Mormon stories as I understand it like maybe even all the

way back to 2005 2006 and so you've got like 12 years

out of the church at this point and you felt passionately about talking about

parenting and this conditioning that all of us Mormons have experienced
