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,

four episodes is going to be a conversation that Chris and I have about

a lot of the content that comes from his book.

And also, we're going to just, I actually am selfishly interested in some of Chris's perspectives

as a lifelong member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latterty Saints and someone

who calls himself a survivor. And as a matter of fact, his book on the front cover calls this
