| 0:00.0 | Hello, everyone, and welcome to another edition of Mormon Stories podcast, call-in live Q&A edition. |
| 0:06.2 | This is John DeLinn. |
| 0:08.2 | It is June 14th, 2025. |
| 0:11.5 | We're live streaming for those who are on YouTube, and we are continuing our experimentation |
| 0:17.2 | with a format that we've tried a few times now, which is a live call-in show, |
| 0:23.7 | where we prepare some initial thoughts and an initial discussion with an expert panel, |
| 0:31.0 | or at least a panel of cool, thoughtful, smart people. |
| 0:34.4 | And then we invite you all to be a part of the conversation and that way we can |
| 0:39.8 | have a dialogue we can hear from you and that's kind of what today is going to be about for those of |
| 0:46.2 | you who want to join the live stream what we will do is we'll put a link to the stream pinned to the top of YouTube comments. And then what we're |

| 1:04.1 | short. This is not the place to tell your mini Mormon story. We're going to ask you very targeted |
| 1:10.0 | questions and we'll ask you to give very |
| 1:11.9 | brief responses. And then if any of the panelists want to engage you a little more, we will, |
| 1:17.5 | but we'll kind of proceed in that way. Thanks again for joining us today. The topic that we're |
| 1:24.1 | going to be covering is what caused you to leave Mormonism or the Mormon church. |
| 1:29.5 | And we're going to be giving kind of an overview for those who are never Mormon or who are Orthodox believing Mormons. |
| 1:36.4 | And you haven't really learned about or spent enough time thinking about why so many people leave Mormonism these days. |
| 1:44.3 | We're going to give an intro to that and then here for some live callers. |
| 1:48.3 | And to join us in this discussion, we have Colby Reddish. |
| 1:54.6 | Hey, Colby. |
| 1:55.1 | Welcome back. |
