John is in the hot seat again as Shelise Sola of @CultstoConsciousness does the interviewing around the topic of what and how John Dehlin would change the Mormon (LDS) Church if he were prophet. John expertly synthesizes and explains in easy-to-understand chunks the largest problems facing the Mormon Church today and ways it harms its most ardent believers and their families. While Shelise only recently started her podcast, “Cults to Consciousness,” she is quickly gaining viewership and a following due to her vibrant personality and quality content and interviews. In her own words: “From psychedelics to sexual distortions, I interview cult experts, cult survivors, cult advocates, therapists, way-showers, authors, healers, guides, shamans and more, to uncover how they find independence and healing through awareness and true individual sovereignty.” @CultstoConsciousness Everything I've Always Wanted to Ask John Dehlin, Answered: https://youtu.be/3VM8mYua3UY I Asked John Dehlin What HE Would Do as The Mormon Prophet: https://youtu.be/2C2hKBQkf1k VIDEO CHAPTERS: 00:00:00 Introduction 00:02:30 How John has helped the Church 00:03:00 What would John change about the Church? 00:05:45 Apologize for the ways they’ve harmed/deceived the Church 00:11:10 John’s chance to meet Holland & his two criteria for suggestions 00:16:40 Informed Consent 00:23:00 Make women equal 00:28:15 Fix the Racism 00:32:50 Fix the Homophobia 00:47:00 What’s problematic with Temple marriages 00:50:00 How John would change the Temple 00:56:30 How John would change missions 01:06:10 Healthy messaging for people who leave 01:09:00 Fix the sexual shame 01:16:00 Teach healthy sexuality 01:21:00 Transparent Finances 01:30:00 End the Second Anointing 01:37:30 Admit & apologize for electroshock therapy 01:42:00 Fix the “Lamanite” narrative about indigenous peoples 01:52:00 John’s mission 01:50:40 Advice: How to bear the criticism & deal w/trolls 02:08:00 Advice: Become financially sustainable 02:11:00 Please pay content creators that help you 02:13:45 Toughest part of fighting Church is social punishment for family 02:19:30 Questions from listeners: What is your current “spirituality” 02:30:00 What’s the most difficult part of faith crisis? 2:36:30 The biggest gift is the rest of your life Show Notes available at: : https://www.mormonstories.org/podcast/what-john-would-change LDS Discussions Race Part 1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0bn02z-Nwuk Leaving Cults & Surviving the Trauma Playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLxq5opj6GqOBW4jrKysbpmGdJGIbys7tp ABOUT US: Mormon Stories Podcast is the longest-running and most successful podcast in Mormonism - hosted by Dr. John Dehlin. At Mormon Stories we explore, celebrate, and challenge Mormon culture through in-depth stories told by members and former members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We also occasionally interview scholars, authors, LDS apologists, and other professionals. Our overall mission is to: 1) Facilitate informed consent amongst LDS Church members, investigators, and non-members regarding Mormon history, doctrine, and theology, 2) Support Mormons (and members of other high-demand religions) who are experiencing a religious faith crisis, and 3) Promote healing, growth and community for those who choose to leave the LDS Church or other high demand religions. Mormon Stories Podcast is a product of the Open Stories Foundation - a 501c3 non-profit dedicated to supporting Mormons in religious transition.
