Didn't he just do one a few days ago? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour ... tM7MBun eta.....I guess this is a remastered version.Markk wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:56 pmThe pod cast is a edited re-run from the 2018 series. I believe John is combining 7 or 8 episodes into 3.
David is a good person for sure, brilliant mind. In the 1st interview, in my opinion, he is all over the place. He had just stopped attending church but still has a great love for it. Again in my opinion, from what I got out of it, he is done with being a Latter-day Saint, but is still hanging on and missing being a Mormon, which I get. One cannot just throw away a culture that shaped them, in many ways I will always be Mormon, and I believe a argument can be made it is the reason many of us still post here (this would be a interesting thread).
He said the things that were really interesting for sure...Bob Dylan being a prophet for one, but again it seemed to me he was really struggling by his disbelief in the institution.
It would be very interesting to have John Dehlin do a 2024 interview with him and see where he is today.
They are remastered, if I remember correctly it was 2018. He mentioned Trump as being president a few times.Rivendale wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 4:11 pmDidn't he just do one a few days ago? https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&sour ... tM7MBun eta.....I guess this is a remastered version.Markk wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 2:56 pmThe pod cast is a edited re-run from the 2018 series.

I have him on Facebook also. In fact I use one of his quotes often. What do you call an organization that has to tell its members every six months to stay in the boat and doubt their doubts? A religion or a cult?¥akaSteelhead wrote: ↑Sun Mar 17, 2024 7:52 pmAh that makes sense. I have him on Facebook and it seems like he is pretty well done, but those interviews being from 2018 would explain a lot.
