Join us for a special livestream as we reflect on an incredible 2024 and look ahead to what’s next in 2025! This year has been one of the best in Mormon Stories history, despite also being one of the most challenging. We’ll break down the highlights, achievements, and milestones that made 2024 unforgettable while sharing our vision for the future.
We’ll start by discussing the financial state of Mormon Stories—celebrating our strongest position yet, even as donations have plateaued. We’ll explain why ads have been introduced in episodes and extend our heartfelt thanks to our supporters who keep this platform thriving.
Next, we dive into the numbers: YouTube views, watch time, and subscriber growth have all been at record highs, with a staggering 17.3 million watch hours! We’ll also take a deep dive into audience demographics, including the surprising fact that half of our viewers are never-Mormons, and explore how long people have been following Mormon Stories.
Some of the standout series from the past year include LDS Discussions and Second Class Saints, both of which have made a significant impact. We’ll review the stats, the discussions they sparked, and what’s next for these deep-dive projects. Additionally, we’ll touch on the growing influence of short-form content on TikTok and YouTube Shorts, as well as the most popular videos of the year.
2024 also brought some major changes and upgrades: we remodeled the studio, redesigned the website, and migrated to Spotify. We’ll discuss how these improvements have enhanced the viewer experience and what additional innovations are coming in 2025.
One of the biggest questions we’ll explore is the direction of Mormon Stories moving forward. Should we cover more politics? Should we expand our focus to include current events? We’ll take your input as we shape our content for the coming year.
A huge shoutout goes to the incredible team behind the scenes who have made all of this possible. We’ll recognize their contributions and express our gratitude for the countless hours of dedication that keep Mormon Stories running.
Additionally, we’ll provide updates on projects like the Billboard Campaign, new designs, and sustainability efforts. We’ll also take a look at how many people donated to support Mormon Stories this year and discuss strategies to keep the platform growing.
Finally, we’ll open up the floor for questions about 2025 and share our excitement for what’s ahead. What changes would you like to see? What topics should we tackle next?
As we close out the year, we just want to say THANK YOU for being part of this journey. Whether you’re a longtime listener or a new subscriber, your support, engagement, and feedback make this community what it is.
Join us as we celebrate an amazing year, share our goals for the future, and get ready to make 2025 even bigger and better!
