Manage episode 356111920 series 3450311
For episode 14, we talk with Michael Hicks, author of the new memoir Wineskin: Freakin’ Jesus in the ‘60s and ‘70s. Although we know Hicks as a scholar who writes on Mormonism and music and taught at Brigham Young University for thirty-five years, his background was anything but a conventional LDS upbringing. For the first seventeen and a half years of his life, he was a born-again Christian in the Baptist tradition. His conversion to Mormonism, early experiences within his ward, and return home after a brief time in the mission field played a role in his excommunication. Excommunication? Yes, but he found his way back, lived to tell the tale, and now he shares it with the world.
