In January 2019, the Sunstone Education Foundation will launch a new weekly podcast hosted by John Larsen. Previously the host of Mormon Expression, Larsen is a veteran podcaster who served as executive director for the Whitefields Foundation.

Following Sunstone’s motto, “More than one way to Mormon,” the podcast will cast a wide net, engaging with thought leaders throughout the Mormon tradition regardless of their affiliation or faith status. It will focus on ideas and movements that shape Mormon theology, history, and culture.

“Both Sunstone and I believe that the Mormon tradition draws its richness from its many flavors and iterations—from the L.D.S. Church Office Building in Salt Lake City, to the fundamentalist colonies in Mexico, to the ex-Mormons living throughout the world—and, of course, everyone in between,” says Larsen.

There’s just so much new and more exciting content in the world now that my eyes have been opened. Did you guys know there’s a really big population outside of Utah that doesn’t even know what the Word of Wisodom, Law of Chastity, or temple endowments are all about? Some of these people don’t even beleive in Jesus Christ!

I know crazy, huh?

Until then I guess I feel like I'm stuck in this purgatory on earth with no end in sight, so some of the podcasts are nice to feel like I'm not crazy.

But at some point I'm sure I'll burn out on all of this and just move on - I can only hope anyway.
