Mormon Stories Podcast re-released a three-part 2016 interview with Margaret (Margi) Dehlin, wife of podcast founder John Dehlin, about her life as a Mormon. The interview was recorded a year after the couple's excommunication from the LDS Church. Margi Dehlin describes feeling that when church leaders excommunicated John, they excommunicated her as well.
The video gained approximately 24,000 views in its first 30 hours after re-release, suggesting continued audience interest in faith-crisis narratives and the stories of those who left the church. The interview covers Margi's experience growing up Mormon, her marriage, and the events leading to their exit from the faith.
