Did you know that John Dehlin considers himself a follower of the teachings of Christ? And that he has a hope that the Death, Burial, and Resurrection of Jesus is true? Did you know that he would like to one day write a book? On a very special groundbreaking episode of Mormon Book Reviews filmed in the Mormon Stories studio, John sits down with Steven Pynakker and discusses his faith journey. From being raised in Katy Texas "Where Football is King & Jesus is Lord" to having an epiphany to start the Mormon Stories Podcast. Topics covered include the legacy of Sandra Tanner and the dinner organized by Allison Biggers & Jenn Kamp for her, growing up as faithful member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in the Bible Belt, the ideal conditions for him to write a book, how he wishes he would be a nicer more Christ-like person, and what the life of Christ and his teachings mean to him. Our mutual friend Dr. Randy Bell sat in on the interview and as soon as it was over he declared it the "best interview of John Dehlin ever!" Let me know in the comments what you think. Also stay till the very end for a shout-out to Lachlan MacKay and John Hamer of the Community of Christ. It was super awesome that my channel was the first on camera interview about the discovery of the lost Joseph Smith photo! #JohnDehlin #MormonStories #JosephSmithPhoto
