40 - Tyler Todd - Saw the Musical, Read the Book, and Joined the Church

This episode has been in the works since this time last year! It’s about time we finally got our friend and Talks on Talks listener Tyler Todd on the show to talk about the fascinating story of his conversion after watching the Book of Mormon Musical. He shared with us what it was like first learning about the church from the musical, how he transitioned to meeting with the missionaries and their mission president, and how he handled his conversion story being picked up by USA Today. Take a listen and don’t forget to wish Tyler congratulations on recently getting engaged! You go, Tyler!
