0:00.0	Hi, Latter Day struggles, friends and fans.
0:03.1	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.
0:17.3	The first is a couple's guide to faith crisis and expansion.
0:20.7	This class is here for a partner
0:21.9	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
0:30.7	greater harmony and understanding when belief differences arise within our families. Both classes are
0:35.7	packed with helpful tools and perspectives that can
0:37.9	give you hope and a way forward. So if you're looking for a little guidance on this,

1:30.1	are preparing to do together that you are going to be hearing later on this week on the Friday
1:36.0	episode of Latter Day struggles. So to give you a little bit of a backstory, Julie and I got together a few
1:41.2	weeks ago and had a really lovely time together and decided that we
1:45.1	wanted to do a little bit of work together. And there were so many ideas of things that we could
1:49.9	have talked about, but we actually ended up comparing notes on how each of us are about the same age
1:56.3	and the ways that we individually metabolized the talk that Ezra Taf Benson gave in 1987
2:04.5	titled to the Mothers in Zion. And so anyways, after we spent, you know, a lot of time visiting
2:11.6	and talking about all sorts of fun things together, later on we decided, let's do a podcast together. And the first one that we
