Hey everyone, I just want to take a second to invite you to join me this year at Restore

a Faith Matters Gathering happening October 13th and 14th.

It's going to be at the Amount and America Expo Center in Sandy and it promises to be

an exceptional conference.

I attended last fall and found it to be a remarkably inspiring, hopeful two days of listening

to really well-prepared, thoughtful talks as well as inspiring music and really feeling

a deep connection with my other Latter-day Saint brothers and sisters around me in our

shared desire to speak to the best in our faith and to speak to one another and find a

sense of connection.

I'm also going to be one of the people speaking.

I'll be speaking a bit about eros energy and its connection to spirituality and to the

light of Christ.

And so I hope to see you all there.

Hey everybody, this is Tim Chavez from Faith Matters.

We've been thinking and talking a lot recently about a phenomenon that sometimes happens and

that we've occasionally felt ourselves, something you might call a spiritual whiplash.

It can happen when we're really uplifted by something, maybe a book that we've read

an inspiring group of people that we've been around or even a transcendental experience

in nature.

We're feeling fed and our cup is full, but then we come back down to earth.

We're faced with the realities of the mundane and the imperfections and humanity of the people

all around us, including ourselves.
