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,

visit laddarday struggles.com to learn more. And now let's start the show.

Hello, Hello everybody. Welcome to Latter Day Struggles. You are here with me enjoying some extra bonus episodes where I am just just dropping some very, very short, several minute long mini podcast, I guess you could say. And I'm just reading some of Carolyn Pearson's poetry from her book, Finding Mother God. I highly encourage you to go to her website, Carolyn Pearson.com,

and she will autograph to you and send you a copy of one of these books. It is a phenomenal

book. I'm just giving you a little bit of a taste of this. And I hope those of you

who are listening are really taking in the beauty of this understanding or this increasing

understanding that we are all receiving about the face of a feminine divine. So here we go. Here is my next

set of poems. This poem is called I heard God singing. Earth the garden, time the season.

Soul, the harvest.

Love the reason.

This poem is called Finding My Roots.

I had my ancestry done.

It was quite simple as they had promised.
