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 we just are really having a fun time, better understanding queer theory, how it intersects with Mormonism, and how our own theology and history is a really fun place to better play with the scholarship, but also look at how we in the Mormon zeitgeist have some fun things to look at in terms of queer theory, how our theology is pretty unstable and

fluid. Okay. Now, when I say that, I was actually thinking about this a minute ago. Taylor,

when we talk about instability and how the nature of God is unstable, or today we're going to
