Help Save Mormon Stories from Retirement

John Dehlin (creator of Mormonstories.org) may come back from retirement- but he needs our help in order to do this work full time. Please click link to read his story. He has already compiled many great podcasts and screencasts which are invaluable tools for: reaching out to disaffected Mormons; helping others understand what the disaffected go through and help understand and empathize with their situation; learning more about LDS History, its issues, its strengths; learning how to help build bridges between people of all beliefs, lifestyles, etc. Please read what he would like to offer by clicking on the link. I hope we can all support John Dehlin in this endeavor. He really has found a niche that the LDS Church won't fill, but that he fills quite nicely. His work is to be applauded and should be encouraged to continue. He is also a great friend of mine.

His presentation "Why They Leave" really helped my husband and I see eye to eye on many disagreements and begin to heal our relationship that was being destroyed over my growing lack of faith in the lds church. There must be a way to sustain something that provides this much value to the world.

The problem with his request is that he is basically asking people to donate without any promise that he will deliver anything. Instead of this, I think he should provide something of value in exchange for a modest donation. I wrote to him suggesting that he should charge a small fee (say $1-2 per podcast download, or maybe a subscription for unlimited downloads) for his materials, and that if he produced good content it would quickly become financially viable.
