0:00.0	Before we get into today's episode, we want to let you know about something new, because many
0:07.1	listeners have been asking for a place to do more than just listen. Live fellowship is a year-long
0:13.2	community experience built around the Latter Day Struggles podcast. Twice a month, Valerie gathers live
0:19.0	with listeners to process podcast episodes, talk through current events in and around the LDS Church, and make space for the emotions that come up during faith transition. This isn't therapy and it's not a support group. It's a space for reflection, connection, and shared meaning making, including opportunities to connect with others who live
0:38.3	near you and are walking similar journeys. If you've been creating community, live processing,
0:43.8	and a place to feel less alone with what the podcast brings up, live fellowship is for you.
0:49.6	You can learn more at the link in the show notes. There's an upcoming live gathering open to everyone
0:54.5	so you can experience what this space feels like. All right, let's get into today's episode.

1:39.9	growing and evolving and living in the uncertainty of how to proceed. Like literally,
1:51.1	you know, we're talking in personal life, but also in this, the growth of this platform.
1:56.4	It has, this was not something that I ever signed up to do or anticipated evolving as it has.
2:04.1	And yet at the same time, I couldn't be more grateful for the chance I have to get to sort of build this plane as I'm flying it.
2:12.9	And to that end, today I have a really fun announcement to make, something that we are
2:19.4	jumping into in an effort to expand our reach and meet the needs of as many people as possible
2:29.4	who are at every stage of the faith journey in and around the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
