as we lean into the world, as we reach towards others,

we're going to also see what it's true.

We're going to see ourselves more truthfully.

And that drives growth.

That helps us choose more wisely.

That helps us learn how to love.

And so the truth is hard because it asks more of us than we currently have capacity to give.

And a measure of our faith is the willingness to accept what is true, to realign our choices in accordance with it.

And that drives us forward.

That helps us grow into a stronger person and a person

more capable of knowing another, but also a person more at peace with themselves and more

capable of being known.

Welcome to Conversations with Dr. Jennifer, a collection of interviews on the topics of relationships, sexuality, spirituality, and more, all featuring Dr. Finlayson Fife.

Thank you. Dr. Finlayson-Fife. Well, thanks for having me. And you are coming to the lbs kappa fall conference this year yes that's

right do you know which day you're presenting and what you're talking i believe it's Thursday afternoon

yeah and i assume what you're talking about integrating healthy sexuality so i just a book is being

published called that we might have joy and so i'm focusing a lot on the themes of that book but the book is being published called That We Might Have Joy.

And so I'm focusing a lot on the themes of that book.

But the book is written for Latter-day Saints about how we have approached our theology often in ways that have been more fear-based and sort of borrowed traditions from the larger culture that have interfered with receiving the gift of the body and understanding the principle that we are, that we might have joy,

and that our bodies and the wisdom that comes through the body are really there for us.
