Description

In this session, therapist and Latter Day Struggles Podcast host Valerie Hamaker will address what she feels is at the heart of the divides between those on the ‘poles’ of the Mormon faith with a focus on those who have moved beyond Mormon orthodoxy. She will share how faith-expanding Latter-day Saints’ approaches to their own shifts in faith, practice, and relationship are closely connected to whether they are inadvertently inviting their more traditionally-believing loved ones into an eventual faith-expanding journey themselves, or further entrenching them in Mormon orthodoxy.
