Understanding Mormonism
Understanding Mormonism seeks to educate Mormons and Non-Mormons regarding the truth of Mormon history, doctrine, and theology. This channel is motivated by the principle of "Informed Consent" - that Mormons and non-Mormons alike should know the truth about the church, so that they can make informed decisions about their relationship (or non-relationship) with the church.
Dr. Dehlin has a Ph.D. in Clinical and Counseling Psychology - and is an expert in the navigation of religious faith crises. John is the host of the longest running and most successful Mormon-themed podcast - Mormon Stories Podcast (mormonstories.org). John is a 6th generation Mormon, and lived most of his life as a devout, faithful Mormon. After spending 20 years deeply researching the Mormon Church's truth claims, and after counseling with literally tens of thousands of questioning and disaffected Mormons, John shared via this channel his conclusions about the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
