Hi, Latter Day struggles, friends and fans.

We know that navigating a faith crisis can feel overwhelming, especially when it impacts our closest relationships, our parents, our partners, and our kids.

0:13.2

That's why Valerie has created two online self-paced classes to help.

The first is a couple's guide to faith crisis and expansion.

This class is here for a partner

or couple who want to navigate faith shifts with mutual respect and deeper connection. Next is

0:26.8

a family's guide to mixed faith parenting. This class offers tools to help parents develop

greater harmony and understanding when belief differences arise within our families. Both classes are

packed with helpful tools and perspectives that can

give you hope and a way forward. So if you're looking for a little guidance on this,

1:42.9

who went through that experience. This is Mark's 30 years

1:46.6

this year, that he is one of our modern day martyrs of our church who was treated very, very

1:53.2

poorly in the face of trying to do some very, very brave things around the Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day Saints. And so, Paul, you have, in my opinion, a very interesting perspective
