432: Learning to Read the Room (& Many other Perspectives too!)

Series Title: A Path to Wholeness Beyond the Mormon Faith Crisis [Part III of VIII]

In this episode Val & Nathan expand on how YOU can achieve the kind of spiritual transformation that you didn't think possible when you stumbled out of your comfort zone into the world of the LDS faith crisis. Building upon tenets #1 (waking up) and #2 (growing up) they introduce tenet #3: "showing up"--exploring with you how every situation in the universe can be more clearly understood when looked at from four distinctive perspectives. They will break down each perspective that is present in every situation in the human experience and use several personal examples to illustrate how these ideas have brought them to deeper understanding and compassion in their lives. 

Once these ideas "click" you will have yet another clarifying "meaning making map" that helps you navigate your faith expansion journey (and actually every situation in your life) with more clarity--and therefore--more peace.
