My heart goes out to this brave woman. Her father must have felt seriously isolated from the Mormon community after his excommunication. His daughter's strength and compassion is a great credit to him. So much hypocrisy behind these rejections of members, which destroys families from exclusive religions. Am I a Mormon? I was a covert at 28 years. Seven years later I followed my heart and left. And Christ has never let me go.

@@herballife2002 Leah and Cody! I've been listening to the more recent podcasts about the excom. I want you to know that Molly and I love you both. I have been "out" as a non-believer to Molly and a few friends. I've stayed "active" with Molly to keep up the facade (and stay married). I know what you are doing is good and helpful for the Central Ohio area. Keep it up!

This is another great interview, and no question that stories like these are therapeutic and helpful. But when coaching, retreats, and "reaching out" is mentioned in these videos, I think John should clarify that this is tied to his PROFESSION. There is an hourly charge to talk to him. The support groups I've seen, through John and his wife, are $200 per MONTH. Before I realized this I emailed John because I had some questions and am in faith crisis mode and was disappointed to not get through. Okay, that's the way it goes. But please clarify that payment is required and Mormon Stories is connected to pay for services, beyond supporting this channel. If there is a free online support group that MS listeners suggest, I would love to have a link. I am in a rough place, and hearing from people like the Youngs is very appreciated.

Hi there! Thanks so much for watching our interview! Knowing John personally I am aware that for literally YEARS he offered love and support for free, but alas he has a family to provide for. For years he would fill ever spare moment trying to help as many people as he possible could - his desire to help with healing and recovery compelled him to go back to school, leaving a VERY lucrative job in technology, just to help people going through a faith crisis. When he was staying with us he had literally thousands of texts and emails being sent to him DAILY, from people all over the world who are suffering. He does his very best to help everyone he can, so does Margi, but they have a marriage, a family and a life that requires income. I want you to know that I would be happy to talk to you or help in any way I can, but please know that from everything I have observed, the Dehlins are doing the very best they can to alleviate suffering while supporting their family. It actually breaks my heart to see the hate and unkindness and unfair judgement they face as they try to lift and love and serve....it would prick your heart to see it. When it comes to retreats the money goes towards venues and food and flights for the professionals who come to provide talks and lectures. There is little to none left over for any significant payment of services rendered. Additionally, I know that John is constantly trying to find ways for those who cannot pay to attend, and much of this happens behind the scenes. I am sending all of my love and concern your way as you walk through what is a very challenging experience. It's not fair for anyone to have to go through this, but I believe that we do become stronger and happier as we are willing to face the journey with courage and love.

@@herballife2002 I could do with someone to talk to. My wife could see something was troubling me for the last little while. I didnt really want to, but when she pushed me enough the firehose was opened. At first it was hopeful and she was happy I opened up, but in the last three weeks her attitude has changed and I dont really know what to do

@@herballife2002 I watched every hour of you and your husband's interview as well as Brinley's. To me there was some irony because I have been a long time Steven Covey fan, and have even read his son's book (who you said also moved into your ward) with my two boys. I can only imagine the pressure all around you and your family. You have amazing courage and I have a lot of respect for you. It is easy to misunderstand comments and texts, and I think I should have clarified myself better. You are preaching to the choir to me about John, though. He does a fantastic job and I hope he gets tons of support for the MS KZbin channel. I like what I have seen of his wife as well. And all the things you mention about supporting his family, etc., I have no problem with. He and his family deserve all good things. Please don't think that unkindness and unfair judgement is coming from me. Please try to see it from my side. I am not a long time friend who could contact John and talk about things as you have. I just came into the world of Mormon Stories a few months ago (I wish I had watched them years ago), so I am at this point in time. I was at the peak of my faith crisis in December and officially left, shocking many, in January. During this critical time I watched 50 to 60 of the Mormon Stories videos and they are indeed wonderful and helpful. I heard many people say things about John in their interviews like: "When I contacted you," and "when we talked," and so on. Also, I did pick up that he was a therapist, but I thought it was like he had a office with a practice with clients, and that the Mormon Stories project was on the side. He is in a unique position, talking to so many over the years, and I had two questions that were just "burning" me up and he was the perfect person to ask. I don't want coaching, I just had my two questions. I sent an email and asked for ten minutes of his time. I'm sure he gets tons of inquires, and I didn't want to take up a bunch of time. But...I had no idea that his profession was connected to the MS thing. After trying to contact him hoping for a reply, I started looking around and finally found a Web page that shows he charges for coaching ($99 per hour). Hand to forehead. Frankly, I was embarrassed. How did I miss this? And I was also frustrated and I felt like a dope because I don't want something for nothing. I sent him another email kindly asking him to disregard my previous email. I just didn't know any better. To me it was not clear at all, even after watching plenty of his videos, that this is how he supports his family and that you have to pay, etc. Again, I have no problem with that. Just MAKE IT CLEAR, please. Part of that is on me for not figuring it out sooner. But part of that IS on him. John can be translated into the heavens and I will still think that there should be a disclaimer (maybe in the text section of every video) that he offers coaching and this is the way he supports his family, so if you want to ask a question... I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed, but I don't think I am the only viewer who does not realize this. If anything...if it was noted in every video, I bet he would get less email from someone like me asking questions. :-)

Union high school, Roosevelt Utah class of 86. Also there are many Wooleys in my home area. I am connected to some of them by marriage. And what do you know I'm a plumber.

Hey lovely Young family, I heard about your being kicked out of your religion. Its a harsh thing to happen, but only the best and wisest get out. I have never been in your religion, but another one that I now know as a cult. It will take time, but through the help of Jesus and the Holy Spirit you will make it and be better for it. And like your friend said, you are brave, courageous, and will rise like a Phoenix to be refined!

Just popped in to listen and just happened to hear this guy's rant on mormon dating... What nonsense...this guy is so biased. Why doesn't he try and explain why SOME mormons discourage their kids going on consecutive dates!! I know why I do... those parents don't want their kids getting too close to any one person while they are still only teenagers. Maybe to encourage meeting more people!? Guess what...those same mormons probably tell their kids that sex before marriage is to be avoided. So awful and backwards!! I don't have much love for the church anymore but this guy is doing the same thing he is accusing the church of doing. The crazy thing is this podcast is taking advantage of this couple just as much as the church did. They are still too naive to see it. Kind of pathetic.
