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 everyone, this is Tim Chavez from Faith Matters.

Over the years, much of the work that we've done here at Faith Matters has tried to take

into account much of the wisdom and research that's been done in the field of faith and

adult development.

It's also been important to us to share and discuss some of the existing models, including

Brian McLaren's four-stage framework and the creation fall atonement framework that

our amazing friend Jared Halverson has spoken about at Restore and on this podcast.

All that said, we've never done a deep dive into the model that deserves as much or more

credit than any other for helping people think along these lines in the first place.
