So everyone, this is Dan Wetherspoon of the Mormon Matters Podcast welcoming you to the third section of

0:57.2

kind of a cooperative endeavor between Mormon Stories, a thoughtful faith, and Mormon Matters.

Section one, we're kind of calling section one, is an interview that Gina Colvin did with John

1:10.2

D'Lin really did a nice wonderful job of taking John all the way through his journey in life as
