  • When Your Child Dies as a Mormon Mom - Heidi Bruno Pt. 2 | Ep. 2092
    Dec 10 2025

    We are back today with Part 2 of our epic interview with Heidi Bruno. In Part 1, Heidi shared her story of suffering sexual abuse as a teenager at the hands of the Elders Quorum President in her ward.


    In Part 2, we shift the focus to Heidi’s daughter, Holly, who was diagnosed with cancer at the age of eight and tragically passed away in March of 2018. Heidi describes the inspiring movement that Holly started during her treatment, called “Love Is Everywhere,” and the wide-reaching impact it had on many communities.


    While the gospel was a great comfort to Holly and her family during this heartbreaking time, Heidi also shares how her views on the LDS Church began to shift after experiencing the death of her daughter as a devout Mormon mother.


    We are extremely grateful to Heidi for her strength in sharing this sobering story and hope that it resonates with all of you as deeply as it did with us.


    You can listen to Holly and her sisters singing "This Is My Song" on YouTube here.

  • My Mormon Leader Abused Me as a Teen - Heidi Bruno Pt. 1 | Ep. 2091
    Dec 8 2025

    Join us today for the start of an epic two-part episode with Heidi Bruno, who is here to share her story of abuse within the church and her experience of losing a child as a Mormon mother.


    In Part 1, Heidi details her history of sexual abuse as a teenager by the Elders Quorum President in her ward—while her father was serving as bishop. We discuss how her abuser groomed her using highly manipulative tactics and by abusing his authority in the ward. For years afterward, Heidi carried the shame of this abusive relationship, not understanding until much later that she had been a victim. She also shares what ultimately led her to speak up about the abuse once she gained the awareness that she had been victimized.


    Then, join us later this week for Part 2 of Heidi’s story, where she discusses the loss of her eight-year-old daughter to cancer and the effect this devastating loss had on her LDS faith. You will not want to miss this powerful and important Mormon Story.

  • Escaping Liberty Jail w/ Joseph Smith - John Turner Pt. 24 | Ep. 2090
    Dec 5 2025

    In this episode (Part 24), we dive into one of the most dramatic and painful chapters in early Letter-day Saint history: Liberty Jail.


    Joseph Smith was arrested on December 1, 1838 and eventually taken to Liberty Jail. Today we will cover his imprisonment, the chaotic legal proceedings that followed, and the eventual “escape” that allowed him to reunite with his family as the Saints resettled in Quincy, Illinois.


    We explore how internal conflicts, political pressures, treason charges, and widespread anti-Mormon hostility shaped Joseph’s experience –and how his letters from Liberty Jail become some of the most cherished passages in Latter-day Saint scripture. We discuss betrayal, leadership crises, the brutality of Missouri’s expulsion, and the Saints’ struggle to survive amidst violence, sickness, and dislocation.


    This chapter also raises hard questions:

    Was Joseph Smith’s trial fair?

    What role did dissenting church leaders play?

    How much of the Liberty Jail narrative has been “whitewashed”?

    What does Joseph Smith’s behavior tell us about his character?


    We conclude by following Joseph’s escape, his emotionally charged reunion with the Saints in Illinois, and the lasting trauma and financial strain the Missouri experience left behind. This is an episode you won’t want to miss!

John Dehlin and Margy talk about faith deconstruction. I was never LDS, but raised Seventh-Day Adventist and similarly deconstructed from “the one true religion”

Riveted by stories of LDS church stories

Everyone is at a different place in their journey relative to this religious community. The guests on this podcast are all so brave to share their stories. I recommend listening at 1.7 or 2.0 speed because many participants think and share slowly but intentionally, episodes are long, and there's a lot of content. I love the emphasis on informed consent and respecting people of all different backgrounds and experiences.

Real Conversations

I love the way this podcast leads..not afraid of telling the past history of mormonism the good and bad .

Finally a fair and balanced view of Mormonism .

This podcast covers all aspects of church history, culture, impact and doctrine. The early episodes focus more on how to maintain the faith in view of all the history and facts we were never told by the church, later episodes have a great focus on the impact the church and its truth claims, culture and politics have on members and ex-members.
To any believing members reading this, despite what you may hear, the facts presented in this podcast are accurate and verifiable, people can and do disagree about the interpretations, but faith is the hope of things that are *true*, faith in inaccurate history will not save anyone.

Great for believers and post Mormons alike.

I love the LDS discussion episodes especially. They are put together very well and offer a fair insight into the history and truth claims of the church. I appreciate the unbiased way they offer information from church works and help connect dots. I wholeheartedly believe if the mission that John Dehlin states often - not to persuade members to leave the church, but to ensure they have informed consent.
