Mormon Stories Podcast at a Crossroads
Mormon Stories Podcast is truly at a crossroads. We have had our highest impact year of all time (by far) in 2023, but we have also lost several recurring donors that have not been replaced by new donors. We have also been the subject of fierce attacks that have been extremely expensive financially, and in terms of time and emotional energy.
We are currently at the point of possibly needing to reduce our efforts, unless at least a few hundred monthly donors step up to replace the donors we lost over the past two years.
If you find value in Mormon Stories podcast - either for yourself or for the broader community - please consider becoming a monthly donor today.
Thank you. The Mormon Stories Podcast Team

The Kingston Group, founded by Elden Kingston, has a complex hierarchy where Ortell emerged as a leader, introducing incestuous practices. From bloodline beliefs linking them to Jesus to intricate rules dictating marriages, the Order's control over its members is striking.
In this gripping interview with Amanda Rae, we dive deep into the secretive world of The Order, exploring its history, shocking practices, and the personal experiences of those raised within it. Amanda unveils the manipulation and trauma faced by women, the indoctrination of children in their schools, and the stark realities of life under polygamous marriages.
Revealing her own journey, Amanda shares her struggle for freedom and the challenges faced after leaving. Her recounting of institutionalized financial fraud, emotional manipulation, and attempts to break free from The Order's grip are both heart-wrenching and eye-opening. Tune in for an insider's perspective, confronting the darker aspects of cults, survival after leaving, and the ongoing healing process.

Customer Reviews
Thought provoking for all people of faith
Updated after listening to around 100 podcasts – I still believe this is a solid podcast. However, there are some small but disturbingly problematic issues. The hosts consistently promote pornography, and other social ills that harm women and are deeply misogynistic. It seems that if the Mormon church is against some thing, they are automatically for it, even if it flies in the face of their own profession of feminism. I cannot square this with their alleged promotion of women. While not every podcast covers this topic, it is frequent enough to be deeply troubling. I still listen, but with serious skepticism that these hosts are as morally upright as they profess to be and definitely take what they say, with a large grain of salt. .
i am technically a never-Mormon, though my best friend growing up was LDS and I spent 3 teen years entrenched with their family and ward, so I feel comfortable in the Mormon culture. I found this pod through John’s appearance on A Little Bit Culty and am fascinated by it. It’s very thought provoking even for this Catholic never-Mormon. There have been a some especially touching and beautiful stories and it is a rich tapestry of human experience. The guests are strong and so brave to be this vulnerable.
Exceptional
Through the highs and lows of this podcast, it is consistently informative, well-researched, and cutting edge. Interview skills have massively improved over time and that is due to Dehlin’s intentional efforts to accept criticism and evolve. Huge fan of the entire team that he’s built around himself. Appreciate the variety of topics and diversity of stories.
The show proved a huge blessing during my painful escape from Mormonism. Just when I think I am done needing research and stories like these, I end up returning for more. Keep up the brilliant work, John.
Too radical
I’m an ex Mormon, but John and his guests hate Mormons and ANYTHING to do with it. That’s fine, but they pretend to do it out of “love” when it clearly is not. As others have stated, they go off the cliff with their hate for anything LDS- as an example- Mormon church is pro life, so they are radically pro abortion. Mormon church is anti drugs, so they are very pro drugs. Mormon church is against foul language and so they use profanity to stick it in their face. Again, I don’t believe in the Church and it has done harm to me personally but not everything to do with it is bad. If you are anti-trans ing children, or think Biden is a bad president, this isn’t the podcast for you. They are all radical Leftists and hate anything that isn’t that. Very sad.
