In her new book, Divine Quietness, Emily Robinson Adams writes of a rethinking that was necessary

for her spiritual survival through a period of doubt.

When I look at the scriptures through the lens of rethinking, she writes,

I see a God who consistently challenges human ideas of who God is supposed to be.

Rethinking invites me to embrace the very likely reality that I cannot know all of God.

Rethinking allows me to accept that not knowing does not mean that I give up.

Rather, it encourages me to be open to different ways that God can show up in my life and guide me.

For a long time, Emily thought God was being silent.

Now, she explores the idea of whether or not he was actually just being quiet.

This is All-In, an LDS living podcast where we ask the question,

what does it really mean to be All-In the Gospel of Jesus Christ?
