I really loved this interview, so it's very cool to get to revisit it! You shared so much of your story with deep authenticity and openness, which I think really speaks to how and why your channel has become such a safe place for all voices of the Restoration to speak and live in the same way. Thanks for all you do, Steve!
I read the book of Mormon and it helped me understand bible. Book of Mormon is scripture it increased my love for jesus christ all the way in kenya africa.
The Book of Mormon is a false book that was invented in the 1800s by an American cult leader. It has absolutely nothing to do with the Bible. Find true Christianity.
You have to really look at the source of the book and also what it teaches about Jesus. Evidence to books that are claiming to be scripture is really important and the BOM has little to none true evidence. The witnesses are very faulty. BOM has many good parts bc it does mimic many parts of the Bible
What is the best way to ask Mr. Pynakker a question or suggest topic for his show? I am concerned about the direction President Nelson is taking the Church. I asked a professor at BYU a question about the authority of a present Prophet to change the doctrine and policies espoused by previous leaders. I got no response. I am an admirer of Ezra Taft Benson and Elder Holland. I want to know to what extent one can criticize or question a Prophet's politics? The Church has given a lot of money to a questionable political organization recently that opposes the teachings and values of the Church. It seems like the social - political agenda is moving in the wrong direction. Thoughts anyone?
That’s my favorite part of these interviews. When someone asks why those who have faith crisis, my response is, “do you have a few hours or more.” 😂😢😊It’s complicated but some of us go through it and stay and to explain that my friend I’d need another few hours to tell that story:)
I came out about 30 years ago and found I had to leave Mormonism, and since then have learned many more questionable things about Mormonism through programs like this on TH-cam... I learned that the B of M had no real proof as a scripture from God, and how Joseph found his ideas in the sea of opinions of his day... after finding the B of M was less than proven, I also decided that all other scriptures have similarly less than proof, so I have decided no scriptures have the proof to support them... This leaves me with the general positive philosophy, like the Golden Rule that is found in all old world religions... I was born again as a teenager, so i figure that is a safety net, if it really means anything... I was active in Mormonism for thirty years before i resigned... I find Steven's quest very interesting. I also had to study the JWs along the way, but similarly found them less interesting because they refuse to see anything good in higher education and their obvious authoritarianism in their organization. Thank you!
Steve i want to tell you that the holyghost is always with you. The lord has give you a mission to unity ex mormon to mormon and deliver good news of restoration. I believe jesus loves you
John please let people use their freedom of choice what religion they choose by faith in God and prayer another way is for them to explore going to church themselves and asking questions there John go to Jerusalem and see how all religions get on together get another job and you will be apriciated by all

Great interview. I cant believe this was from 2022 and I am just finding it. Thanks John for great questions and Steven, wow.
This was epic!
Stephen Pynakker is the man! He’s such an honest and real Christian!
Finally! A John Dehlin show that under 4 hours. However did you do it, Steve? Oh wait...a 4 part interview. I guess that explains it. 😢

I like that he reminds us to think about church leaders as human...since they are human.
John, please post the rest so us Christians can binge them .
Thanks🌸
Hope he’s watched Shiny Happy People, revelations of Bill Gothard and evangelical movement including the Duggars.
Currently identifies as a Christian-what?
What does that nuance mean, I am ignorant… currently… “identifies” …what will he identify as tomorrow?
Encore! 👏🏻
Where are the other interviews?

I think joseph smith was a good man .polygamy should not be issue as abraham , david moses solomon Jacob practised it.
Joseph Smith was a fraud and a cult leader.
For sure it sucks being Dehlin, having nothing better to do with his life than hating on God's church. So sad!
He doesn’t hate God’s church. He’s just exposing Mormon BS. It’s objectively a cult.
If only he could use the same critical thinking and research skills to debunk Christianity.....
Good luck: sweetheart in doing that!
@@davidjanbaz7728 ? Good luck in me doing what?
