Stay Mormon Dec 5, 2021

What's a Mormon anymore? Years ago, John Dehlin of Mormon Stories started some movement called "Stay LDS" that I am sure he has since abandoned since his publicized excommunication in 2014 . This title is riffing on that name, thoughts on not fitting perfectly into either world of mormonism nor exmormonism, and the idea that active LDS have dropped the moniker. I take some solo time just to describe who I am what I'm trying to express on this channel along with my regulars Kevan and Flip, and how I currently imagine my amphibious standing in the world of Mormonism and ex Mormonism.
