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,

and you can find this entire chapter in the book called Women and Authority Reemerging

Mormon Feminism, edited by my dear friend Maxine Hanks. And so I'm so grateful that I get to talk about this article.

This is a thick, fat, beautiful, wonderful book. And we're actually going to spend about,

I don't know, two to three hours just on about six pages. That just goes to show we could do

900 episodes on this book. It's that good. But this particular chapter has been one that is near and dear to

my heart. I've been wanting to do a podcast episode on this. It is one of my, it's on my list of,

I think I'm up to 150 ideas. Isn't that funny? I'm only 150 ideas behind. And I get about five

ideas a week from you all out there. And just this goes to

show that we're never going to run out of something to say. We have a lot of problems, but that ain't
