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,

Anyways, we are here today to open up a multiple part series. I think it's going to be a four-part series,

but I'm not 100% sure. We're just going to see how it goes.

But many of you over the last couple of years since Nathan and I have been doing this podcast,

we have had many a recommendation. Well, that's an ironic thing. We have had lots of recommendations

to talk about the temple recommendation. I guess that's not quite the same exact word,

but it's close. Lots and lots of people asking us if we could please address actually all sorts

of topics connected to the temple, including the temple itself, the temple garment, temple recommend.

So we will not do justice to all of those topics because this may, in fact,

be perhaps the most fraught and complex of topics in the progressive space of the Church
