55:17Now PlayingAfter over 1,000 hours of interviews, it is fitting to finally feature the story of Nan Parkinson McCulloch—John’s Mom.
I am so super proud to release this Mormon Stories Podcast with my brilliant, wise, strong, courageous, still-believing, 84 year old mother. Other than the fact that I dearly love this amazing woman, perhaps my favorite aspects of this interview are how my dear Mom models:
1) Thoughtful, nuanced Mormon faith, including a willingness to either: a) believe differently than Mormon orthodoxy, b) say “I don’t know,” or candidly admit c) “That is not important to me,”
2) Unconditional love for her non-believing children (“Relationships are more important than beliefs.”), and
3) Direct, candid, respectful dialogue with a disbelieving family member (even when I push her a bit).
I hope you enjoy this interview, and I hope that you are as inspired by this brilliant, beautiful, amazing woman as I am.
In Parts 2 and 3 of this interview with Nan, John and Nan discuss her eventual divorce and remarriage, her faith evolution, her reflections on John’s podcast and on his excommunication, and on her beliefs about life after death.
