They need to clarify that this is an anti Mormon podcast. If you want to spend your time tearing other people down, that's your choice. But you should be clear in the description and episodes that that is your goal and purpose. Otherwise I feel like you are actively trying to deceive.Read full review »

I was raised LDS and left the church for good about 10 years ago because it just didn’t feel right. I didn’t give it much thought until I started to listen to Mormon stories. I’m angry that I was raised under delusions and lies but it’s nice to finally see the church in the correct light. I feel...Read full review »

John and company have created the quintessential space to approach all things Mormonism and high demand religions in general. This podcast was a lifeline when I was deconstructing my faith and when I was experiencing the anger loss and betrayal that generally happens when leaving Mormonism. Now...Read full review »

I was looking for something uplifting to listen to between general conference sessions. This was NOT it. This channel should be called “Mormon Complaints” rather than Stories. I was disappointed that every issue that was addressed in this episode led to the conclusion that the church was in the...Read full review »

The Ruby Franke ep is EPIC! To have the completely outside perspective of the Canadian YouTuber learn about the essential tenants of the Mormon church as NOT fringe but core was fabulous. I loved every moment and would love MORE MORE MORE.

Was told about this podcast last year and started from the beginning in December 2023 it’s now April 2024 I’m on episode 900 I cannot stop listening always been fascinated with different religious practices and groups and it’s been an amazing journey learning through these stories. I feel like I...Read full review »

Bokovoy part 5 is SUPERB! What a brilliant historian. Love the presentation on Isaiah. And, Margi, she is a great co-host, not part of this episode but when she is she is fantastic. Wish you had her from the beginning of the LDS Discussion series instead of the underwhelming Jenn Kamp (Kamp...Read full review »

Love the show but please someone tell Julia to slow down, she talks so fast that I can’t even listen to the show anymore.

So grateful for these podcasts! I know if a question comes up there is bound to be a podcast for it! So grateful!
Cirrus0809 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/03/24
The stories is where this show works the best. I do also like the news from the church, and when bishops talk. Now sitting in church knowing all the back stories is starting to become more and more difficult!

This podcast has helped me so much. As a former LDS Bishop from Utah, I saw how much of the good and much of the bad of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints from the inside. In my opinion the Church’s main priority is to protect it self. In service of this priority, the church...Read full review »

I left the church after discovering Sandra and Jerald Tanner in the early 90s. I found Mormon stories a few months ago while helping a young person navigate their faith crisis. It has not just been helpful for them, but dealing with issues I did not know I still needed to deal with. John is a...Read full review »

Guys you should get some #mockers to have there say on your show. So you or the listeners can make them understand the real stories of the mormans 🤷🏼‍♀️

I’m not a Mormon or ex-Mormon and this podcast is fantastic. I’ve learned so much!
changagarcia via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/19/24
Mormon Stories tells the truth about peoples lives who have been raised in a high demand - shame based dishonest system and the heartbreak of finding the truth and facing the reality of the struggles of leaving. What a service to humankind! To offer up others journeys to soften the steps of so...Read full review »

John is very, very good at this, but he interrupts every single guest, always with, “I don’t mean to interrupt, but…” which does not make it better. Margy is a lovely person, and she’s great in small doses, but episodes lately have had WAY too much of her. It’s a different tone when her voice is...Read full review »

Thankfully I have found this podcast. I grew up next door to mormons all my life & honestly I started listening after House Wife Ex Mormon Heather Gay was on your podcast & I now educate people around me on the truth behind the history of Latter Day Saints aka Mormons. Good Listen for...Read full review »
Scribble03 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/14/24
This podcast covers a wide array of topics including LDS history, current news regarding the church, how the church impacts various groups positively and negatively, and more. I do think it skews towards ex Mormon or non Mormon audiences (I’m ex-Mormon). There is not hatred in this podcast but...Read full review »

I truly enjoy this podcast learning more about the world of controlling religions. It is so informative and eye opening. The guests are riveting, real and John is a wonderful host. This podcast is helping SO many people understand reality away from the ridiculousness of religion aka cult life and...Read full review »

I’m a never Mormon who finds the culture of the CoJCoLDS very familiar. I love Mormon Stories! So good!
lucy_locket52 via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 02/11/24
Ah yes let’s leave the Mormon church and take part in stalking activities like Scientology! So progressive! No LGBTQ+ Ally would condone this sort of behavior. You need to apologize.
Kaykah7829 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/05/24
I wasn’t going to give it a star rating as obviously that would based on the content, but Apple requires a rating. So, my rating is based solely on how I feel about the content. I just want to offer a heads up to anyone who wonders the vein of the stories presented on the podcast. The...Read full review »

I feel like these guys absolutely rely on keeping people angry rather than helping them heal and move forward. And now they are spying on gay people who choose to attend church to see if they take the sacrament. This seriously happened.
UtahPodcastGuru via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/03/24
While I love this podcast, I was disheartened with Tara’s interview. I’m so sad that she sounds like she dislikes being a mother. She mentioned it so often. Yes, moms do go through a heck of a lot, but she acts like she got the short end of the stick in the motherhood area. I hope that she is...Read full review »

Mormon stories does a great job of providing access to information and thought provoking content that contributes to a better understanding along of high demand religions. This podcast resonates with my desire to continuous learn and expand my ability to make informed decisions across contexts.

After my best friend of 62 years left the mormon church and my adult nephew, who was raised in it left, I became very curious as to why. I googled “ex mormons” and ran across your amazing podcast. My sister became a mormon when she married one. I want so badly to tell her about the amazing...Read full review »

When I was a TB, I heard so many times don’t listen to John and his podcast because he is anti Mormon. Pleasantly surprised how that’s not true. What great content you have! Thank you for this podcast!

Long time listener and grateful for all you have done John Dehlin! Thank you so much for giving John Larsen a platform again.

I quit listening to this series because Julia from Analyzing Mormonism talks so fast you can’t understand her. And because she talks so fast, she stumbles over her own words making it impossible for her to put together a coherent sentence. Take a deep breath and just slow down Julia.
Dhdvshdbf via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/11/24
…PLEASE edit out the coughing, long pauses, background sounds, etc. It’s incredibly distracting. The host also interrupts guests / derails their stories constantly. So many times I’ve been engaged in a story one of the guests is telling and right before the climax of the story John jumps in,...Read full review »

This podcast has helped me through my faith transition and it’s helped me not feel like I was crazy or the only one seeing certain things about the church. I really appreciate the work that is being put into this.

Seems scattered and disorganized
Sheila MaRee via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/26/23
I’ve been listening for 6+ years and exmo for 11. The core information and subject matter that gets covered is interesting and validating. It’s mostly well researched, and production quality is very good. My criticisms are: John is very condescending and dismissive to anyone that doesn’t have...Read full review »

I’m a never Mormon but appreciate John’s kind and insightful interview style. Respectful, thoughtful, and human-centric, John and team provide a safe space to share life stories. I learn something new e wry time I listen. Thank you! You are changing lives!

I really enjoyed the relaxed and playful pod with Nuancehoe, especially talking about silly subjects like garments. While I really like the series with John Larson, I would love to see more pods with just the two of you. Thank you for what you do to help the Mormon stories community! StaceyLE

I started listening to Mormon Stories podcasts in January of 2020 when I began deconstructing the Mormon religion. I’ve now listened to EVERY episode (some multiple times). John is a courageous man and I’m so grateful for the time, dedication and sacrifice he (his family & staff/contributors)...Read full review »

I really appreciate this podcast in all its forms. From the latest iteration of a weekly news episode, the LDS series, to the long form personal stories, all the notes are being struck and should be included under the umbrella of Mormon Stories. Thank you for all you do John, et al.
Memishel via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/06/23
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...Read full review »
Frenchsilk33 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/03/23
I just listened to you beg for money. May I suggest that the reason that people used to donate is because you used to actually tell Mormon stories. You actually worried about helping people. You have stopped that completely and gone completely woke and anti-Mormon. Your podcast is no longer...Read full review »

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...Read full review »

John does a great job of educating his audience about the complete history of the LDS church. He admits his own biases - unlike most other people - and genuinely wants to help people.

I’ve been LDS since birth, and this last September I fell away after accidentally discovering the CES Letter.

This podcast truly opened my eyes and popped the LDS bubble I spent the last 20 years of my life in. They do a great job digesting Mormon truth claims, navigating post Mormonism, and digging into to nitty gritty of Mormon history. They inform. Not with the intention of attacking the church,...Read full review »
