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.

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

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,

talk about the movements and shifts and changes of gender and sexuality and the ideas that

we here have had in the Church of Jesus Christ

of Latter-day Saints as they relate also to a larger culture and other church traditions.

And today we're actually going to jump into how politics comes more heavily into the picture

now than ever before.

Okay.

So, but before we even do that, well, it's kind of co-related, Taylor,

but would you talk us through, let's talk church correlation a little bit? First of all, if you
