Hey everybody, Wayfair Issue 6 is just about ready to mail out and you are not going to want to miss this one.

We've asked some of the best thinkers we know to explore the concept of prophecy and what it means for us in the 21st century.

And we've put together a beautiful magazine with full color art and work by writers like Adam Miller, Hannah Packard Crowther, James Goldberg, Camilla Stark, Matt Bowman, Jenny Richards, Terrell Givens,

and many more. We're putting these in the mail on December 1st, so don't delay, become a paid

subscriber today at Wayfairmagine.org slash subscribe.

Hey, everybody, this is Aubrey Chavez from Faith Matters. Today we're joined by Carolyn Pearson,

poet, playwright, and author of The Ghost of Eternal Polygamy. With extraordinary honesty and

clarity and compassion, Carolyn shares her deeply personal perspectives on this chapter of our

history and why she believes polygamy was a great mistake, one that continues to, as she

puts it, haunt the hearts and heaven of many

Latter-day Saints today. In this episode, we learn how she holds this belief alongside a deep

devotion to her faith. She shares how it shaped her understanding of prophetic authority and why

she believes we can still honor our past without being bound by it. Carolyn believes it's time that we stop letting polygamy

burden our spirits and relationships and our view of God. And with both tenderness and conviction,

she calls us to help the human family cross the plains of patriarchy into the land of partnership.

Her faith, strength, and spiritual integrity continue to inspire us and we're so grateful for the wisdom that she brings to this conversation.

One quick note about this episode. During the conversation, we mentioned some Come Follow Me curriculum for children that was originally included in this week's Come Follow Me lesson.

But since recording, the church has made some important revisions to that material, which we would have definitely highlighted had that been available at the time. And as a reminder, this episode is part of a five-part

series on polygamy. So we invite you to listen to all five episodes for a range of perspectives

and voices on this important topic. And now here's our conversation with Carolyn Pearson.

All right. Well, Carolyn, thank you so much for being here.

We're just so excited to talk to you about this topic. Your voice has been so valuable for me personally,
