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 Day Struggles. This is your host, Valerie. I am grateful to be with you here today. I'm on my own. And today in this episode, I am going to endeavor to walk you through a broader and wider and a creative way to think

about last episode's content. So if you have not already listened to episode 92, in that episode

and I kind of deconstructed and offered to you, our audience, some thoughts and feelings about the

recent address given by Elder Hamilton of the 70. The title of his talk was, why a church?

So in that episode, we talked about a variety of different things that we heard that were

pretty concerning to us. And we just wanted

to shine a light on them in an effort to invite dialogue and to invite conversation. Because

what we're hearing in addresses like this, which we've had a few of in the last little while,

what we're hearing is that there is a lot of

need for belief, control, not conversation, not a call to action, not invitations to change,

and certainly not any kind of an invitation or an acceptance of the invitation for accountability

on the part of the institution. And therefore, it's important for us to talk about these things.
