Hello, Mormon stories listeners. This is John DeLin. It is April 21st, 2020. We are in the middle of the coronavirus pandemic.

And I had an idea. Some of you may know that once I finished my PhD in clinical and counseling psychology, I started doing workshops and retreats to support people who are navigating a religious faith crisis.

And I've done about 50 of those workshops and retreats over the past five years with Natasha Elfer Parker and sometimes with my dear wife Margie DeLin.

These events have been super useful to people. We've been told that they've saved marriages, they've saved lives.

And most importantly, they've been really helpful in helping people navigate their religious faith crisis.

And honestly, it's some of the best content I've ever created to help people. And when I do coaching, when I do workshops, when I retreats, I pretty much always draw from this content.

So because right now we're in a pandemic and because there are people flooding my email with the desire who need coaching, who need support, who are struggling in a faith crisis and need support,

we've got all this amazing content that we have shared over the years that people don't know about. And it hasn't been shared on Mormon Stories Podcast.

In the past, people have paid hundreds and hundreds of dollars to attend these workshops and retreats.

And fortunately, thanks to the generosity of Clint and Jenny Martin, who I partnered with on Thrive, we actually did an entire retreat back in August of 2019.

We did an entire retreat and we filmed it. And we didn't just film it, we actually not only filmed my presentations with Natasha, but we also filmed the audience participation.

And so we have a whole 2.5 day retreat recorded. And what I want to do during this coronavirus thing is just share it with everybody.

And I'm just telling you, this is some of the best content that we've ever created.

The various topics that we cover include introductions where the attendees of the retreat give a really brief introduction to their situation.

We've recorded all of that. These are really created, courageous, thoughtful, you know, Mormons and Faith Crisis.

The next presentation is me with Natasha supporting me talking about understanding and navigating a religious transition.

That's the video I'm about to show now. Then we go on to show several other presentations. So there's a presentation on the fundamentals of navigating mental health of improving your mental health.

There's a presentation on the fundamentals of emotional of emotional intimacy. So basically the key to healthy relationships with your spouse, with your children, with your in-laws, with your extended friends and family.

That's a really important presentation as well. Then we do after we do emotional intimacy, then we end with presentations on communicating with believing family and friends, conscious parenting and healthy sexuality.

And then we sort of have a close where people kind of say goodbye. And this isn't just my presentations with Natasha and Margie.

It's also full audience participation, people sharing their situations, and you being able to see us perform and provide coaching directly as people are, you know, bringing things up during the workshop and the retreat.

So over the next week, let's just say I'm going to be sharing this content both on Facebook Live and on the Mormon Stories podcast feed.
