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,

1:33.6	are we just talking about like church history? Like, what even is this? And I wanted to spend some time,
1:39.0	not only talking about why I am so passionate about the creation of these small communities,
1:45.5	why the relational component is so important, which is forthcoming that I'm going to be
1:49.7	actually doing a podcast episode with a group of people that have been in my groups.
1:55.0	And I chose for at least this series, and I might do some other topics down the road,
2:01.9	one of the things that I feel really, really strongly about is that healing happens in the context of these small communities
2:09.1	because people learn about the true self. They learn about the foundation or the core of their being
